| In 1975, Jackson football history was made. Thirty-three years later Jerome Gentry is trying to uncover it. Gentry's book, Mississippi's Uncovered Glory, covers the 1975 Callaway Chargers, the first team in the state to record a 12-0 season and the only team in the past 50 years from the Jackson metro area to record an undefeated season.
