Final Comments:
Following back to back regional finals appearances and a conference title in 2023 the Blue Devils are hungry to Sustain The Standard for Danville Football. It is not a transition or rebuild year but a year where the Blue Devils hope to take the next step! The Blue Devils return 3 of their top 4 tackles from last years defense as well as 6 starters overall. Offensively, the Blue Devils return 4 starters from a unit that averaged over 40 points per game. During the offseason our team has been hard at work averaging over 40 players during off-season and preseason workouts. We are looking forward to a highly competitive schedule as well as competing in region 27 again!
