Founded in 1923 in Nacogdoches, Texas, Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks football has carved a proud place in the Piney Woods. SFA reached the 1989 NCAA Division I-AA title game and added Southland crowns in 1989, 2009 and 2010. Program greats like NFL fullback Larry Centers and Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Trotter turned Lumberjack grit into Sundays. Each fall, the Battle of the Piney Woods with Sam Houston ignites the region, a rivalry that has long defined East Texas bragging rights.

Home Saturdays at Homer Bryce Stadium feel distinctly East Texas. Tailgates ring the pines, the Lumberjack Marching Band sets the tempo, and a loud student section keeps the ‘Axe ’Em, Jacks!’ chant rolling from kickoff to the final snap. The Purple Haze defense makes Nacogdoches a tough road stop, turning big games into bigger memories for every fan.
