Brimming with anticipation, the USD 232 district awaits its intradistrict football showdown, taking place Friday, Nov. 16 at De Soto High School. It’s been 15 years since the schools faced each other on the field, and there is no shortage of school spirit on either side; therefore, it’s only fitting for the schools to deck out in spirit wear.

All spirit wear showcases a design depicting the year and the opposing schools (the design is shown on the left and above) and are offered in both schools’ colors, navy blue for Mill Valley and dark green for De Soto.
$2 from each item sold is being donated to the De Soto Kansas Food Pantry, either in cash or cans, to incorporate an aspect of giving alongside the competitive atmosphere surrounding game. The director at Cosentino’s Price Chopper, located in Shawnee, is working with the Jaguar Leadership Club to maximize the number of cans they can buy with their funds.

Many students have invested in spirit wear, including junior Prathik Gadiraju. He believes the game will be a fun opportunity for the district.
“[It’s] going to be a great game to go to because a lot of people have friends at both Mill Valley and De Soto,” Gadiraju said.
