Building on last year’s successful season, the 2021 Danville High School Blue Devils Varsity Football team is dedicated to winning the little battles of each game to come away with a ‘plus-one’. Blue Devils head coach Cam Smith, describes ‘plus-one’ as, "... the idea that there is a turnover battle, and a TD battle in each game. If we get a takeaway or a touchdown, that is ‘plus-one.’ If we turn the ball over or give up a TD, that is a ‘minus-one’. We are focused on ending up on the positive side."
