Do the last two years make up for the '94 2A finals? Probably not, but the Chargers will take it.

 

Think about that for a second….BE was in a 2A championship game 28 years ago and now plays in 6A.  That shows how crazy the growth has been in Mt Washington.

As for the game, Danville had no answer for the BE offense.  East scored every time they touched the ball except for once at the very end when the JV offense was in.  Danville fought hard, they just don’t have the numbers.  Based on my count, they dressed 26 players (and barely had more fans than that).  Unfortunately, there were spots in the game where they were a bit too chippy & eventually it boiled over on the last kickoff.  The officials literally just let the last 2:30 go off the clock while they discussed who was getting tossed & Danville tended to an injured player on the sideline.  Hate to say it, but what was once a storied, proud program is a shell of its former self.

Did a Danville kid break his leg? 

Yes he did, on the last kickoff.  He was hit up high & down low at the same time.  It was clean, just unfortunate.  Ambulance had to take him out.  Would like to know how the young man is doing if anyone gets an update 

Just hearing Danville had 4 players ejected and will have to miss the next game 3 of them are starters. What's the punishment for ejected players?

IIRC the punishment for an ejected player is that they miss the next game in football.  That terrible for the Ads when you consider that next week's game is Somerset, which is the most important game on the schedule IMO for playoff seeding.  More evidence of undisciplined play.

Congrats to Bullitt East on the win.

Danville has some talented players and some players who play very hard.....just not nearly enough of them.  Hate that anyone got hurt.  Congrats Chargers.

I saw them earlier this year and I thought they had way more than that. I don't know exactly how many, I would have guessed it was close to 40-50. Have they had that many players quit mid-season or did I just miss their low numbers?

KHSAA roster shows 41 players for Danville including 13 freshmen. Do the freshmen dress varsity at home but not on the road?

Is Danville still ranked in all the rankings that shows you how hard it is to find 10 qualify teams.

Yes they dress Freshman, and I've heard a few kids quit, including 3 this week. 

After halftime they were all lined up in a row stretching and I counted 28 in uniform and what looked like maybe 3 wearing just jersey's and maybe hurt.

I think the rankings here have been overly positive on Danville but probably based on name/reputation rather than what has actually happened on the field.  Both wins this year were against teams with losing records (Lincoln at 1-5 and Garrard 2-4).

I think you are both right.  There is some pretty major drop off in a lot of classes this year.

TBH if Danville played Lincoln County again I think they lose that game.
