Congratulations to Coach Harp. After trying and missing on the 300th win so often last season, I'm sure he's glad to get it out of the way early this year. And to do it against Mason County, a top 5 team in 3A certainly has to be sweet. The Ads may well be back.

Congrats Danville!

Congrats to Danville and coach Harp! Great win Ads.....

Congrats to Coach Sam Harp and the Ads. Big win.

A few comments, don't know who Pawsat's backup is but he better start getting more reps in practice with this OL. Division 1 type players are supposed to show up against the likes of a Danville or even an Ashland in a scrimmage, not pad stats against lesser opponents, so may be too much clip reading in the early going of this season. And lastly, how is an offense with this much firepower only able to put up 14 in back to back games(again,counting the scrimmage). Really wanted to see another undefeated season, but maybe this will help out come tournament time, still more questions than answers after this one game though

 

Last year, Lewis County provided the blueprint for beating Mason although Mason had too much talent and made the necessary adjustments in that game, primarily having the linemen go into a 2-point stance. The blueprint: speed rush, overload the line, line guys up wide on the line and come in fast nearly every play. With Mason's linemen in the 3-point stance, they have trouble seeing the defense except what is right in front of them. They can't move their heads or they get a false start call. This gives the speed rushing defense an extra step advantage, plus many times the defense has one or two more guys rushing than Mason had linemen. Ashland and Danville both used this basic formula with their own twists I'm sure.

 

Danville focused strongly on shutting down Mason's three primary offensive threats, Pawsat, Harris and Gilbert. Gilbert was double and triple covered much of the time.

 

Congrats to the Admirals.

Good points, ones that most know about it seems, will add that a half way decent to good RB gives the Royals fits also, they're just able to outscore their opponents and let the RB get his.

Who were the Royals defense players that did help besides Josh Harris?

Congrats to Coach Harp on #300. Looks like the Ads are back on the right track and will have a successful season.:thumb:

Congratulations coach Harp on your 300th win. I will be the first to say that I did a lot of criticizing last year, mostly out of frustration. It wasn't so much losing last year, but the way they lost, basicaly going through the motions. After last nights performance they have made a 180 degree change from last year, very agressive on defense, inovative on offense, when negative things happened in the game they didn't hang their heads, the players and coaches were working together well, things looked organized, they limited turnovers no fumbles and the backs all ran hard. If the ADS keep working hard and playing with this whole attitude they will have a very nice season.:thumb:

The Defense played great all 4 linebackers and the D line was outstanding. Still need to work on the secondary, they got beat a couple of time

Danville with 46 rushes for well over 300 yards. The game plan to defeat Mason County.

No excuses here, just a fact - Mason County's starting inside linebacker didn't play as he has been out all week with mono. Sometimes losing a skilled player in that position can make a bigger difference than you'd think in stopping the run.

True. Perhaps the best linebacker on the team, after Harris.

Congrats Danville on a big win.

I hope his backup is the retired, I mean un-retired Brett Favre because only he could withstand the pressure that the Ads front line applied. Pawsat was 13 of 24 for 171 yards and 2 TD's...not amazing stats but it is early in the season. Yes he had a couple intentional grounding penalties and took some sacks...what high school quarterback wouldn't when a defender is rushing untouched on his blindside???
