2000 Jaguars Fall to West Mifflin in Semi's: The 2000 Jaguars were loaded with a mammoth offensive line, and were poised to be title contenders, but fell short to rival West Mifflin at Three Rivers Stadium in the semi-finals.  The team included in the hard running of Tom Jura behind Tyler Reed.  The team was ranked #3 pre-season, and #2 by season's end with a victory over West Allegheny in their pockets, and a share of the Keystone Conference championship.

2006 WPIAL Win After Undefeated Season:The 2006 Thomas Jefferson Jaguars reasserted themselves atop the Conference, and the AAA WPIAL/PIAA scene.  They went a perfect 9-0 in the regular season, and won the Big Seven Conference for the 17th time in school history. They continued the winning tradition by beating Blackhawk in the WPIAL finals at Heinz Field, before losing to General McLane in the state semi finals.  

2007 State Champs, Perfect!:Thomas Jefferson wins the WPIAL for the second straight year and the 3rd in last four.  They also won the PIAA state championship for the second time in the last four years. The 2007 team is the first team in AAA state history to run the table at 16-0.  Can anyone say Dynasty?  They were led by Zach Decicco, Brian Baldridge, Lucas Nix, Orlando Torres, and Arthur James.  The team overcame much adversity and was a true testament to the tradition of team effort.

2008  The Jaguar Dynasty:The 2008 Jaguars accomplished something that has never been done in the history of AAA football in the state and the WPIAL,  three straight WPIAL championships and two straight PIAA state championships.  The team cemented the school's status as a dynasty with its third PIAA championship, fourth WPIAL championship, and  two WPIAL runner-ups in six years.  The team included quarterback Tyler Wehner, running back Brian Baldridge, offensive linemen Pat Eger and Matt McCall, and linebacker/tightend Brock Decicco.

2009 Jaguars Undefeated, Win Conference:The Jaguars again dominated conference play under head coach Bill Cherpak, and logged a perfect 9-0 season.  The team would lose a tight contest to West Allegheny in the semi-finals of the WPIAL playoffs.  The team was lead offensively by the passing tandem of Sam Johnston and second-generation Jaguar Jim Giansante, as the coaching staff implemented a more pass oriented approach.  The defense was stingy as ever, as this has become a staple of George Wilson defenses.
