The Danville Admirals (3-0) stay at home for the second week in a row, hosting the Lincoln County Patriots (1-2). The game will be "First Responder Night" as it is happening on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Both teams have a lot of young talent with head coaches that are in their second year at the helm.

Last week the Admirals stumbled out of the gate against Anderson County. They have shown some struggles defensively over their last two games against teams with bigger linemen and runners. However, the Admirals explosive offense courtesy of quarterback Dillon Cruver, running back Jayvian Meaux, and other pieces like Cam and Mylan Peters kept Anderson off balance and Anderson failed to keep up with their grindy-like drives down the field. The Bearcats did claw back late to cut into the Admiral lead but Danville got a late touchdown to ice the game and win 48-29. Cruver threw for two touchdowns on 13-for-16 passing attempts, Meaux ran for four touchdowns after gaining 145 yards on the ground in 16 carries, and Cam Peters and Gavin Baker earned receiving touchdowns.

Lincoln enters this game on a two-game losing streak. They were shut out at home against West Jessamine last week, dropping a 38-0 decision. In post-game interviews with WPBK-FM, Lincoln's players discussed the need to get better at catching passes from quarterback Tucker Foster so that their offensive drives do not stall out. Some untimely turnovers also caused Lincoln to get shut out as they moved the ball into West Jessamine territory on several occassions but gave it away. Had that not happened, the game could have been closer.

Last year the Admirals brought a 3-0 record into Death Valley to face the Patriots but lost a game that went down to the wire. Lincoln completed a touchdown pass with less than a minute on the clock and won 35-32.

Do the Ads get revenge this year or do the Patriots get back to .500?

Defensively Danville can't stop a nose bleed, but they have enough weapons on offense to get the win.

Danville 42-14.

I'm hoping this defense gets better with time. The Ads soft schedule will let them pile up wins, aided by the explosive offense, but LCA will eat this team alive if the defense keeps this up over the next 2 months.

WEB Dubois is looking like a team that can beat them also. Teams are just lining up and running it down Danville's throat.

Lincoln's run game will keep them in it for a while. Danville has too many athletes, and, Coach Stonebraker.

Danville 49

By the way, thank you to Lincoln for putting a video feed in with this road game (for them). I wish the Ads would get into the video streaming era because the NFHS feed is terrible.

Lincoln tries to onside to start but the Ads get it and will start on their own 48.

Jayvian Meaux (sophomore) early run up the middle only goes about a yard. But then Dillon Cruver (sophomore) completes to Cam Peters (junior) for 8 yards. On third down, Meaux breaks a run to the outside for a first down, moving the ball to the Lincoln 40.
