Delton Kellogg Schools - Small School Atmosphere with Big Opportunities

Championship Banners were hung on the outfield fence in honor of the teams from 1988, 1989, 1990, 2018,2019, 2021, & 2023. Thank you Coach Lyons for honoring these ladies. We look forward to adding to those banners in the future.
