Football Preview

DENMARK – Despite the loss of three All-Conference First Teamers on offense and two First Teamers on defense, Denmark seemed primed to take another step up the ladder of success Tom Neuman put in place two seasons ago.

Signs of life, but another loss for the Vikings

DENMARK – Last season, such a loss would have had coaches, players and fans pulling their hair and gnashing their teeth.
