The Lions restarted their football program with the help of then Athletic Director Tim Duncan fielding a club team in 2013 after 52 years of not having a team. This past season was the Colleges' first full season at the division II level and as members of the SIAC.
The Lions 2014 Campaign started with a 6 game losing streak ! Despite coming up on the short end of those games the Purple and White Cats came out growling and taking the fight to their opposition! losing to Shorter by 4,Livingstone by 3 , Lane by 2 . The Lions continued to make their opponents aware that to beat PC a battle was very neccesary as they lost to Morehouse by 10 ,Albany State and Limestone By 17.
Then it happened and on Homecoming weekend ! Coach Ruffin and his Lions pounced on Edward Waters 38-14 and carrying that momentum into a battle with Fort Valley State !
