QB Wyatt Thompson scrambles for a first down with his legs on first down.

Marion marches to the Admirals 29 with some misdirection in the running game. They advance a few more yards on a 1st down run and that is the end of the quarter.

End of First Quarter: Danville 20, Marion County 0

A second down run goes for a loss. Before a 3rd & 10 from the 30 yard line Marion calls timeout.

After that timeout Marion throws to the flat but that goes nowhere too. Marion goes for it on 4th down but Thompson is sacked by Bryston Caldwell when scrambling before he can find a receiver. Turnover on downs gives the Ads the ball on the 27 with 10:27 to play. Danville calls timeout before their next drive starts.

Danville is backed up 10 yards on yet another holding call. Meaux erases the penalty with a run to the Marion 35 for a first down.

Meaux with another run to the Marion 20, continuing to be a force of nature that Marion cannot stop. This time he runs between the tackles to get where he needs to go.

Ads mix it up by going with a pass from Cruver to Mylan Peters but there is another holding call against the Ads. So the ball is placed at the Marion 24. Ads get flagged again when Cruver tries to pass so the Ads back up again to the 34. Ads have gotten flagged way too much in this half but have been rescued by explosive plays.

Cruver tries a throw to Baker but it is incomplete. And another explosive play, almost like an old D'Mauriae VanCleave special as Cruver throws a quick strike in space to Meaux and he races to the end zone for his third touchdown of the game.

Kick is good.

Danville leads 27-0 with 7:18 to play in the second quarter.

Marion quickly gets to the 50 with their running game on the first play after kickoff.

Run by the Marion fullback goes for two yards. Option play gains 5 yards. On 3rd & 4, Marion goes back to the fullback for a first down that gets to the Ads 35.

Another run is stopped in the backfield for a loss of one yard. Thompson throws a 35-yard touchdown strike right after and that puts the Knights on the board. Ads were soft in coverage and it got exploited.

Knights kick is good.

Danville still leads 27-7 with 4:56 left in the second quarter.

Squib kick does not allow the Ads to have much of a return and they start their next drive on their own 25.

Cruver hits a completion for ten yards but an illegal shift calls it back as the Ads keep getting penalties. He is sacked on the next play. Meaux races for a big gain, setting up a 2nd and 2. Meaux makes another big run after that, getting into Marion territory past their 35 yard line.

Meaux dragging defenders on his runs and Marion is flagged for something. Ads on the Knights 25.

As the clock ticks down, Meaux runs for 8 yards on first down. Admirals take their second timeout with about 44 seconds left in the quarter.

Option play from Cruver to Meaux goes to the house, giving him a fourth touchdown.

Kick is good again.

Danville leads 34-7 with 37 seconds left in the second quarter.

Marion takes the kickoff to their own 36 yard line.

Marion does a run up the middle for 10 yards to move the chains.
