Athletics

[edit]

Dalton's football team has a long rivalry with both the Chippewa Chipps and the Rittman Indians, both of which run back to their first meetings in 1925 and 1924 respectively.^[2] This dates back to when the Wayne County B League only had four teams from Apple Creek, Doylestown (Chippewa), Rittman, and Dalton. Had Dalton fielded a team for three years in the 1940s and if Rittman had remained in the league through the 40s and 50s, both rivalries would most likely be more contiguous than the Orrville-Wooster rivalry.^[3] The Chippewa rivalry is the second-most played rivalry in Wayne County after Chippewa/Rittman.^[2]

Due to the recent success of all three teams, Dalton's strongest rivalry games as of late have been with the Smithville Smithies and the Waynedale Golden Bears. All three schools have combined to either share or outright win the WCAL football title 45 times from 1960-2021, and in that time frame there have only been 17 seasons where none of the three have contributed to a football championship.^[4]

The 2016-2017 academic year was the first year in school history that featured two sports play in State semifinal games. Both the volleyball^[5] and boys baseball^[6] teams advanced to the Final Four. This was the baseball team's first trip since 2005 and the volleyball team's second trip in six years.
