IROQUOIS – The Iroquois Chiefs will field a varsity football team for the first time in 11 years this season.

The last game Iroquois played in the Black and Orange was in 2006, when it beat Colome 64-26 in the DakotaDome in Vermillion for the Class 9B championship.

Iroquois then spent eight years in a co-op with De Smet, before playing a junior varsity schedule on its own the last two seasons.

The Chiefs are in Region 1 in Class 9B.

They open the season playing host to Hitchcock-Tulare tonight.

The school purchased new football equipment two years ago when it started the JV team. It has also built a new press box and installed a new scoreboard at the field.
