We are excited to welcome another football season in Dell Rapids.  We are again opening our doors to the St. Mary’s football team, who will be sharing our football field for their games. It’s a great opportunity to demonstrate our Quarrier spirit by being gracious hosts.

To ensure the field and bleachers are in top shape for all games, we kindly ask for your cooperation with a few guidelines. First, please make sure all blankets and tarps are removed from the bleachers immediately after each game. This will allow us to prepare the seating area for both our games and those hosted by St. Mary’s.

Additionally, we request that blankets and tarps not be placed on the bleachers until the day of the game that week, and vehicles do not enter our small parking lot next to the field until after the completion of the school day at 3:30 PM. The field will be open from 7 AM until 4 PM to place blankets/tarps. This will help us maintain a clean and organized environment for everyone.

St. Mary first home game is September 5th.

Dell Rapids first home game is September 19th.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Let’s work together to make this season memorable for all teams involved! Enjoy the Journey!! Go Quarriers!!
