A new era of Hall Red Devils football kicks off this fall with Logan Larson taking over as head coach.
He was an assistant coach at Class 2A runner-up Athens for three seasons. He succeeds Randy Tieman, who retired after two years in a second stint as the Red Devils head coach.
Hall finished 3-6 last season, 2-3 in TRAC Mississippi.
Here’s an early look at the Red Devils’ 2024 schedule, which kicks off Friday, Aug. 30 at home vs. Orion.
Friday, Aug. 30 - Larson will get his first look at Nesti Stadium in the season opener when the Red Devils host Orion in a Three Rivers crossover. The Chargers went 3-6 last year, winning their first two games, including a 20-14 winner in the season opener, and their last, but had a six-game losing skid in between.
Friday, Sept. 6 - The Red Devils travel to Erie-Prophetstown for a Week 2 crossover contest. The Panthers finished 3-6 last year, going 3-3 in the Three Rivers Rock (West).
Friday, Sept. 13 - Hall welcomes longtime rival Mendota to Nesti Stadium to kick off league play in the TRAC Mississippi in Week 3. The Trojans finished 0-5 in conference, 1-8 overall last year. Hall won last year’s meeting at Mendota 34-7.
Friday, Sept. 20 - A road trip in week 4 sends the Red Devils to Sherrard in league play. The Tigers were in the Rock Division last year, going 2-4 and 3-6 overall.
Friday, Sept. 27 - Returning home to Nesti Stadium for Week 5, the Red Devils will clash with Kewanee in a league battle. The Boilermakers went 8-2, 4-1 last year, including a 41-0 rout over Hall in Kewanee.
Friday, Oct. 4 - Back on the road for Week 6, the Red Devils head to Princeton to face the defending TRAC Mississippi champion Tigers coming of a 10-5, 5-0 campaign and third straight quarterfinal appearance. The Tigers won last year’s clash in Spring Valley 54-0.

Friday, Oct. 18 - The Red Devils step out of the division for a Week 8 crossover at home vs. Riverdale. The Rams made their return to the gridiron last year after sitting out due to lack of numbers in 2022, finishing 0-9.
