Meaux is given the ball and runs to the left, picking up no yardage.

55 seconds remain in the game. On 3rd and 5 from the Du Bois 12, Ads go to the I-formation and Meaux takes it and breaks a tackle and ends up just short of the yardage.

Ball is at the 11 yard line and the Ads wait until the clock hits 3.5 seconds and the Admirals call timeout, presumably to try a field goal.

Garcia comes in to try to make a 28-yard field goal.

Du Bois calls their last timeout to try to ice him.

Garcia makes the kick and the time expires.

Final Score: Danville 23, W.E.B. Du Bois 22

Final Thoughts:

-Wild game where each team had some opportunities to shut the other down in critical moments. Dickerson was clutch for Du Bois on their last drive, always finding completions and beating the Ads blitz but the team was not able to come up with points. The Ads converted some 4th and longs on the last drive to put themselves in a position for the final field goal, somewhat surprising because Garcia had not made a kick like that all year.

-Trinden Sellers suffered a leg injury during the game early and did not appear after the early part of the 1st quarter. No update was provided about what injury he may have but he did walk off the field.

-Danville's win takes them to 8-0 and 3-0 in the district. Next week they will host Lexington Christian Academy (5-2, 2-0) in a game that will determine the district champion. With this win, the Ads have earned a home playoff game in the first round.

-Du Bois' record goes to 5-3 and 1-2 in the district after this close loss. Next week they travel to Indiana to play Providence. Providence lost to Louisville Holy Cross earlier in the year.

Stonebreaker play calling was horrendous. Why he kept running Cruver was mind blowing.

Yeah, I was in agreement with the radio team that I didn't understand why Cruver was constantly doing QB runs that weren't getting anywhere while Meaux was chewing up 5+ yards per carry. I guess the idea was to keep Du Bois from cluing in on Meaux but I found it highly questionable. Very surprised that the Ads came out of this with a win because they were playing from behind the entire evening. Du Bois has some great athletes and I'm confident they will make the 2nd round.

Glad to see Danville having success. I know they had some dudes when I was in school. Those Boyle vs Danville games were good games maybe we will get to see them again sometime soon.

Great win fit the Ads. Will this set up another Danville-Somerset game in round 2 of the playoffs?

Danville has won 17 games in the two years that Coach Stonebraker has been there. Be thankful Ads fans.

Yes, I believe this is the way that the playoff bracket will work out.

It's been a good turnaround. This might be the best win of Stonebreaker's tenure so far in terms of the Ads facing a team that could match their athleticism as the schedule over the last 2 years has been soft. But the Ads are now getting some transfers from Boyle and elsewhere too so things are looking up. I see this team continuing to get better in the years ahead as they add more depth.

Let's not act like they're playing a tough schedule. Out of his 8 wins this year only 2 teams has a winning record. Let's see what he does in the playoffs!

We won’t. Haddix asked him to play. They declined.

Good Coaches win the close ones.

Danville is doing exactly what they need to do. They are not ready for Boyle. They need at least two more years to even start to think about that. Beef up the schedule a little. I would look for a good big school that will be a tough game to win. Yes, you very well might take a loss but your team will be better for it. Maybe also add in a 50/50 big school opponent. Need to play those games to find your weaknesses. They will get exposed against higher level opponents.

I don't understand why they don't play the next couple of years. I don't care what nobody says Danville would have the best player on the field in Meaux. I think it would be a good game. Boyle won't have no elite players like Driver or Qusinberry on the field.
