To our school, alumni, and beloved DG community: We are forever grateful for your unified support on our ride to the Final 4. To accomplish what we did was special, but to accomplish it with you, our DGN family, by our side every step of the way, is what dreams are made of.
Thanks
@dedwards
for treating us to a team dinner the night before the state semi-final. Appreciate you supporting our guys tonight and throughout the years!
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.
@DGNHoops

Happy for our program. To be able to experience the last couple weeks together was something we won't forget. To our seniors - you guys are champions. Something we always knew, long before we became one.

Congrats OT on being named All-Conference in the WSC! Owen is the epitome of a winner. Winning 79 games as a Trojan (school record), Owen lead the program to the Final 4 & Elite 8 (& football State Championship game). Owen is the ultimate high IQ, high accountability competitor.
Thank you to the players & families both past & present for making our program what it is today. Each year our players take great pride in leaving our program better for the next group. This varsity team was no exception and this recognition is a direct result of their success.
Congratulations to Head Boys Basketball Coach Jim Thomas IBCA Boys Basketball Coach of Year! Lots of passion, dedication and no quit for his team in this challenging year. We are proud of you!

Congrats to Coach Rush! Coach started as a manager at DGN in ‘07 while in high school. A tireless worker & learner as he contributed ideas & concepts for us to implement and improve. Coach met student athletes where they were and pushed them to improve both on and off the floor.
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.
Always good to have the regional champs back in town and celebrating with us after a road W! They're trying to get me to trade in my Cole Haan's for the Versace's.

DGN Freshmen are off to a fast start after winning the T.C. Elmhurst Thanksgiving Tournament. Every player provided valuable contributions during the 3 victories. Congratulations boys!
Congrats to Coach Lee Maciejewski on being inducted to the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association - 2021 Hall of Fame Class! He has dedicated himself to the game and students for 43 consecutive years of football, basketball and softball.
Each year our program concludes the preseason with our Chili Run. This year we ran 2 miles with greater purpose… Thank you to
@MrsGilbertDGN
and others involved for your time and organization all month long!
Combo guard Mychale Hyland has committed to continue his academic and athletic career at Quincy University (D2) in the GLVC. He was a spark plug that set the tone for the Trojans both as a starter and 6th man.
To the seniors: you won a freshman, sophomore and varsity WSC Championship. Some of you were rostered for the regional as well in ‘19. All great team accomplishments, the way you always wanted it.
Congratulations to the All-Tournament team from the DGN Thanksgiving Classic! Thank you to all of the players and coaches for joining us for this event!
