Power-I features a run by Sellers on first down. There is a flag thrown and it is a hold on the Admirals. That backs the ball up to the 7 yard line.

1st and 15 sees Meaux take a run for a few yards as the Admirals want room and to burn clock.

On 2nd down Sellers takes the ball and ends up about four yards short of the first down marker. 2:47 to play in the game.

The playcall on 3rd and 4, Meaux goes up the middle and gets the first down, moving the ball to the Ads 25.

2:01 to play. Sellers takes the handoff for 9 yards.

Danville takes a timeout.

Danville leading 41-26 with 57 seconds to go and has the ball.

Ads take a series of knees and the game is over.

Final Score: Danville 41, Washington County 26

A few post-game notes:

-Danville's defense still has a lot of holes. Washington made the game interesting until the Ads were able to get a few quick scores and then able to get a timely interception and a goalline stand late. To the Ads credit, they made some big plays on offense when their backs were to the wall at times, especially early in the 2nd quarter when they went for it on 4th and 2 deep in their own territory, converted, and then were able to get a touchdown to retake a lead in the game.

-Thompson for Washington County is a great weapon. They need to use that guy more. Ads had few answers for him any time he touched the ball.

-Danville goes to 5-0 and 1-0 in the district with the win. They will host Shawnee in another district game next week. Shawnee is 2-3, beating Fort Knox 32-13 on Thursday night.

-Washington County falls to 1-4 and 0-1 in the district. IMO this team is better than their record shows. They did a good job in much of the game corralling Meaux. But the Ads had some other playmakers step up, which is one of the offensive strengths of the team. This was one of the first times this year where the Ads had to lean more on the passing attack to open the run game and having that in their arsenal shows more versatility than last season. Next week the Commanders continue district play at W.E.B. Du Bois. Du Bois is 4-1 and has not entered district play yet. Du Bois beat Western Hills 20-7 last night.

Danville's defense is soft. And, Washington County couldn't stop Meaux he ran for 249 yards.

Meaux did run for that much but some explosive plays he made in the second half created that yardage. At first their gameplan appeared to be working well until Danville opened the playbook and went aerial.
