DeSoto HS Athletic Director Previews 2019-20 Sports Seasons

(DESOTO) Wednesday on KJFF Sports Talk’s Jefferson County Athletic Director Summer Series, DeSoto AD Matt Deaton discussed particulars about the upcoming 2019-2020 sports season.

One particular was the buzz surrounding the Dragons football team, which will again be led by Chris Johnson.

 
Deaton also talked about how DeSoto High School gets down during Homecoming Week.

 
That big game will be Friday, October 4th at 7 p.m. against Fredericktown. Deaton then transitioned to talking about the softball team led by Chris Woelich, which lost to Hillsboro in the Class 3 District 2 championship game.

 
The conversation then switched to talking about the cross country program led by Aaron Young. With the girls finishing 4th at state and the boys finishing 4th in districts, the competitiveness of the two groups has intensified.
