Rivalry
Denison High School and neighboring Sherman High School have had a long-standing football rivalry dating back to 1901. Each year, the schools play for "The Battle of the Ax" in which an engraved ax is awarded to the winner. William B. Hempkins led Denison for the first four years running as battle of the ax champions. 84 years later his great-grandson Daniel K Jones led Denison to its next consecutive four years wins against Sherman, and continued his winning streak (12-0) his senior year to win the Texas State Championship against Dallas Carter winning 46–17. This is the longest continuous rivalry among all high schools in the state of Texas.[6]
