Welcome back! DE Game Day has what you need to prep for the H.S. season

The chin straps have been tightened. The running spikes are on. The nets are up. We're ready to go.

Hi, I'm Greg Giesen, sports strategist for DelawareOnline.com , and this is the DE Game Day newsletter.

It feels like months have gone by since we last talked. 😎 We're back together and high school sports is about to explode with football, cross country, girls volleyball, boys soccer and field hockey.

Brad Myers , Brandon Holveck and Kevin Tresolini will, once again, be providing The First State with high school coverage throughout the school year.

Media Day kicks off high school sports season

Last week, Delaware Online High School Football Media Day was held at Odessa High School. The event gave local athletes and coaches the opportunity to meet with Brad, Brandon, Kevin and other staff. The result was a lot of camaraderie, photos, videos and interviews.
