THE FOLLOWING IS A DANVILLE DISTRICT 118 RELEASE
We are excited to kick off another football season at DHS! We are now just days away from the first ever girls flag football home opener and then the boys. The renovations at Ned Whitesell Field have exceeded our expectations! The field looks great, but the improvements of the bleachers, seating, and handicap accessibility were needed and will make for a safer, more enjoyable fan experience. We can’t wait for you to come out to support our student athletes, see the renovations and show your Viking pride!!
