This game used to be the last game of the year at least in the mid 70’s thru sometime in the 80’s, when they changed it. It kind of broke a tradition and I didn’t like it, but looking back now it was a good change for both schools and probably was favorable for each school’s titles.

I’ll be honest with you. I was worried last year a bit after having such a front heavy schedule and somewhat of a weaker back end. I was worried that it would take the sharpness and focus out of our guys. But that muscle memory kicks in when it has to! Corbin, boyle, belfry, all had pretty easy roads up to the region at least. Each round it gets a little tougher, obviously. So that helps get the guys ready for the big game. Boyle overcame Etown and we beat central. BOTH on the road. So with all of that, I’d take an easy last 4 games. Guys can heal up, and most importantly, you’re not risking injury, as much. And the results show it’s not hurting top programs at all. So I say give me the rivalry game in the front, I’ll take marshmellow high school the last part.

Back to Danville and Boyle. If Danville is able to take away the passing game- which I don’t think they can- any chance it’s a close game? I don’t know how BC’s defense is this year, but I was NOT impressed with the Ad’s Oline. I’ve heard a lot about the rebels offense, but defense has been seldom mentioned.
