The JV Dillos played their final game and are a great group of young men and great bunch to coach. We look forward to seeing their continued success on and off the field. We would like to thank all the parents and Dillo supporters throughout this football season. Without their support these kids could not have achieved the success they did. With hard work in the spring, summer, and other sports, these young men will have a great opportunity to build on the success of this season. The future looks bright for these young Dillos!!!
