In light of the recent tragic loss of a student-athlete in a neighboring
school district, DeSoto High School’s football scrimmage originally scheduled
at Crowley ISD has been relocated.
The Eagles will now travel to Forney on Thursday, Aug. 21, to scrimmage against North Forney High School at Better
Life Stadium, with freshman
and junior varsity teams playing at 5 p.m., and varsity taking the field at 7 p.m.
In support of the affected family and community,
there will be no entry fee for the
scrimmage. However, donations will be
accepted at the gate to support a benevolence
fund benefiting the family of the student-athlete.
DeSoto ISD stands with the broader athletic
community during this difficult time and encourages Eagle Nation to attend in a
spirit of compassion and unity.
