This district is not too fun for Somerset fans. Somerset rolls again.
-
Boyle runs the clock here. Rough season for Lincoln.
-
Looked it up and according to the Cincinnati Inquirer it is true. They won 25-21, 25-18, 16-25, 18-25, 15-9
-
LSU's playoff odds have shrunk to 14%. They play host in a few weeks to Alabama and then Texas but also have Mississippi State at home next week and then go on the road late in the year to Tennessee. They are in bad shape.
-
LCA also moves to 3A next year, right? If I'm correct, this could be the last Danville-LCA game in what has been a fun rivalry in 2A. Not so much in recent years when the Danville admin destroyed the program but there were lots of fun games between these teams, especially in the Clay Clevenger years.

To add onto this good write up, this will be the big test that the Admirals season has been building toward. The Ads will feed Jayvian Meaux a lot and LCA will be trying to contain him. W.E.B. Du Bois took away the Ads passing attack last week and made the Ads one dimensional, which was almost enough to pull out the victory. Ads playmaker Trinden Sellers got hurt early in the Du Bois game too so it is unclear whether he will play. LCA is the prohibitive favorite here and while I'm not big on moral victories the real test in this game is if the Ads make it a better game than the 49-18 beating that they took last year in Lexington. I like to live blog the Ads games here but I will be traveling so I hope someone will take those duties on, whether an LCA partisan or otherwise!

Wow, I had no idea West Jessamine is undefeated. That program has come a ways.

Sad situation for the Admirals faithful this morning regarding Jamaree Johnson, a senior who suffered an ACL injury in the closing minutes against Lincoln County and had his season ended a few weeks ago. Prayers to his family:
-
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.
-
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.

Garcia makes the kick and the time expires. Final Score: Danville 23, W.E.B. Du Bois 22
-
Garcia comes in to try to make a 28-yard field goal. Du Bois calls their last timeout to try to ice him.
-
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.
-
Du Bois is called for an offsides, giving the Ads a 1st and 5 on the Du Bois 13. Cruver holds onto it and runs left for a loss of a yard. Admirals call timeout. Du Bois still leads 22-20 but the Ads are inside of their 15 with less than 2 minutes to go in the game.
