DIXON, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) — If not for the Byron Tigers, the Dixon Dukes would have been the talk of the Big Northern Conference last football season. The Dukes’ only conference loss was to Byron. They finished second in the conference.

The Dukes graduated 13 seniors including their starting quarterback, and their top running back, but it’s not likely there will be much of a drop-off if any this season in the Dukes’ level of play.

To view our preview of the Dukes, watch the media player above.
