Lincoln's reception does not get much again, only moving the ball to their own 25.

Foster has a Levi Grubbs (senior) deep downfield but overthrows him. On second down Foster tries to throw again but it is swatted away by the Admirals. On 3rd and 10, Foster completes to Parker Hart (senior) for a 17 yard gain and moves the ball to the Lincoln 42. Danville's defense cannot get third down stops.

6:25 left in the game.

Hill rushes for three yards. On 2nd down Foster tries to throw a slant pass but it falls incomplete because of the efforts of Cam Peters (junior).

Admirals call timeout.

Danville leads 35-21 with Lincoln facing a 3rd and 7 with 5:54 to go in the game.

Out of the shotgun, Foster throws it deep but the Admirals Zane Knott (junior) tips it away.

Lincoln decides to go for it on 4th and 7, Foster is sacked by Saivon Johnson (sophomore) and Keghan Jones (senior). The ball belongs to the Admirals at the Lincoln 40 with 5:39 to play.

Cruver makes a screen pass to Baker. Baker twists the Lincoln defenders up, creating another quick Admiral score. Baker split the defenders with his speed.

Garcia makes the kick.

Danville now leads 42-21 with 5:28 left in the game

Lincoln will start their next drive on their own 32.

Hill rushes for five yards. Foster keeps the ball and makes a five yard gain, advancing the ball for a new set of downs that will begin at the Lincoln 42.

On 1st down, Hill takes the handoff but is stuffed in the middle for no gain. Foster throws deep on 2nd down toward the left sideline but it falls incomplete. On 3rd and 10 with 3:10 to play, another throw from Foster is incomplete.

Foster throws again on 4th down and completes it but the gain is not enough. There was room but the receiver fell down just before the chains. Danville takes over on downs and will begin their drive on their own 49.

Danville still leads 42-21 with 3:00 to play in the game.

Sellers takes the ball and goes to the end zone for his third score of the game. There were lots of Lincoln defenders who were falling down all over the field on that play.

Garcia's kick is no good.

Danville adds to its lead, now ahead 48-21 with 2:45 to go

Danville is flagged for a facemask on the kickoff, so Lincoln will start what might be their final drive on their own 45.

Adyn Phillips (junior) rushes for a yard. Lincoln runs one last play to Phillips, who goes up the middle and gets another yard.

Final Score: Danville 48, Lincoln County 21

Post-Game Notes:

-Admirals move to 4-0 for the first time since the 2017 season, which was the year they went 15-0 and won the 2A state championship under Clay Clevenger.

-Next week Danville will start district play, traveling to Washington County (0-3 heading into tonight but they were leading their game by three scores earlier tonight vs. Western Hills).

-Lincoln County falls to 1-3. Next week they will host East Jessamine (2-2).

-The game was closer than its score would indicate. Lincoln came close to making it a 28-28 game but failed to punch it into the end zone after using nearly all of the third quarter to drive down the field.

-Trinden Sellers led the Admirals with three touchdowns. He converted a big third and long that helped position the Admirals for a score that put them up by two touchdowns, a lead that they kept and added to the rest of the way.

-Danville had a few injuries in this game. Mylan Peters fell down after a play and did not return to action. Then Demaree Johnson, a lineman, was carried off on a stretcher with a leg injury. Braiden Ford (sophomore), who plays tight end and lineback, sat out this game due to lingering issues from the previous game.

Danville will win games against lower competition, but the top 2A teams they don't stand a chance. They are horrendous Defensively. I see W.E.B DuBois and LCA beating them and Danville being the 3 seed in there District.

Yeah, this team has to find some answers quick but four games in, this is starting to just become who they are. If there was a good defense with this team they could be an outside contender because of how skilled the offensive players are. But the defense is lagging behind everything.
