Shreveport – The Centenary football team fell 43-20 to the Hendrix College Warriors in its season opener on Saturday evening in front of an overflow crowd at Atkins Field on the Centenary campus.
The Gents (0-1) fell behind the Warriors (1-0) by a score of 36-6 at halftime but outscored them 14-7 in the second half. Centenary wound up with 290 yards of total offense while Hendrix had 401 yards.
Centenary's previous football history began with the Gents' first game in the fall of 1894 and ended in November of 1941, with a brief attempted revival in the 1960s and the anticipation and excitement after a half-century of the sport being gone was on full display Saturday night.
The Gents will hit the road next Saturday, Sept. 14 as they open Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play against the Texas Lutheran University Bulldogs in Seguin, Texas.
