SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) - The Sherman Bearcats got a star endorsement from Pro Football Hall of Famer Ray Lewis ahead of the 128th Battle of the Ax between the Bearcats and Denison Yellow Jackets.

The team shared a video of the legendary Baltimore Ravens linebacker cheering them on in response to an endorsement video from NBA Hall Of Famer Shaquille O'Neal that was shared by Denison on Wednesday."This blessing goes out to the Sherman Bearcats. We love you Shaq, but the Battle of the Ax ain't a basketball thing. It can only be settled on the football field. I'd rather be a Bearcat than a Yellowjacket any day. Let's go Bearcats."Ray Lewis, Hall of Fame Linebacker
