Thank you to all who came out to support DGN Boys Basketball this season! Seniors, you left our program better than you found it, leaving as the winningest class in program history. The support of our families, faculty, administrators, and DGN community is second to none.

It was always a pleasure to have Jim call our games. Dressed to the 9’s, smile from ear to ear & always wanted to talk about the athletes. He will be sorely missed but his legacy will live on within the community of DG. Our program sends our thoughts and prayers to his family.

Julio Jones dropped some serious sound bites in his post game presser with Steve Young and the MNF crew. Has been successful at all levels and is the poster child for servant leadership. Players should take note.
