I wouldn't agree with this. I do think Danville and Boyle will resume their series but it will probably take another 3-4 years. Once Stonebreaker is able to get a full 4-year run of a class through and the Ads have depth again, then I think the Boyle series will come back. The community wants the game to happen but due to the Ads struggles post-Clevenger there was no point in playing the game when Boyle would slaughter the Ads. The rivalry probably won't return to its late 90s/early 2000s level but I do think this series resumes in less than 5 years.

That series won’t get resumed unless Danville comes to Boyle back to back years. Danville owes Boyle a home game after what they did in 2024.

You are right that Danville would owe Boyle 2 home games in a row if the rivalry is ever renewed. Under the present playoff system it would never make sense for Boyle to schedule a middle of the road 2A team even if they win by a big margin. They would lose too many points under the present RPI system. It would only be an advantage to Danville, even if they lose the game because they would be playing up against a top 4A school. Then the assumption that Danville could just decide they want to resume because they think they can compete one year is just being arrogant and absurd. It will never be up to Danville to decide from now on, but completely Boyle's decision if they ever play. Maybe a JV or Freshman series, but not varsity that I could imagine under the present system.

I think making it the second scrimmage would be a cool idea. Have a middle school game before.
