It could be a long year for the Rockets IMO.

Congrats to the Ads....our boys have got a LONG way to go to get where they need to be. It was the passing game on defense and simple blocking on offense that killed them. No heart or life tonight...this includes my own. I sure hope the coaches can get them straightened out before district play. Our kids might not be the best athletes out there...but I think they have a lot of talent...if they decide they want to show it. Again...congrats to the Ads.

 

Wow papa, never known a Rockcastle team to play without heart or life, thats the foundation of Rockcastle football.

How did Danville get 40 points on 170 yards of offense ? Sounds like neither team could rush the ball and Rock couldn"t cover the Danville receivers. Good luck to both teams

 

Yea the defense for both teams played great against the run. Danville just had the better passing game and special teams. I believe Danville's top rusher got hurt in the first half.

Congrats to Coach Harp and the Ads.

21 yards on 30 rushes. I bet that is Danvilles lowest total in school history. That is good defense by Rock. To only give up 175 total yard is good too.

 

Not to bad for Danville to only get 175 total yards and still win 40-0.

I would take that every game the rest of the season.:thumb:

I dunno....the boys did put the whammy on the run and tightened up in the second quarter on Danville when they settled down. But, as heart goes, they were walking to the huddle and didn't seem to have any fire to them. Maybe we sold big to shut down the run, because the pass was there all night. You know....when I played football, we would take our lumps as well, but the worse the score...the madder I got and the nastier I got because I didn't like to get beat. I figured that if I was going to take a beating....the other team was going to know that they were in a fight the next morning. I wish that could be instilled on our boys.

Danville is obviously much improved. They looked very good defesively with alot of team speed. They totally shut the Rowe kid down. I feel they are still trying to form an identity on offense but have an extremely talented rb in Brand who looked banged up from the onset. I think the soph qb(Alcorn) is dripping with talent and will only get better as the yr progresses.

Is that the lowest run total for a Danville team. I mean 21 yards on 30 carries is pretty bad. You average (-) yards rushing.

Rockcastle took away Danville's run game, but what also hurt the rushing yardage was several big losses with quaterback sacks. Also the young guys in thr fourth quater had some big losses. Danville had to have had some pretty good yardage on punt returns though, I would like to see that stat. Rockcastle has no passing game, It's not hard to stop the rushing game when everybody knows who is going to run the ball 95% of the time, that player being Rowe.

Rockcastle also played with about 9 players in the box defending the run and only one safety back. It looks cute on paper, but they gave up 40 points.

So is Danville that good or Rockcastle that bad? I am surprised at the 40-0 score.

Danville has a shot to be really good this season. Rockcastle looked disorganized and frankly, a little unprepared.

I'm just glad to see Danville back to where they are suppose to be. :thumb:
