Looks like Danville leads the all time series 43-16-2 if you take a look at this article in 2009 because at that time Danville owned a 43-13-2 record against Somerset. Like I said earlier, Somerset has gotten the better of the Ads over the last 3 to 4 years but before that since the series was resumed the Ads owned the series.

Loved reading the article but there were some inaccuracies in the piece.

1. In speaking about the '74 Game at Admiral Stadium, the Danville coach is mentioned as Duffy. It was not Duffy. He came in 1980. The Admiral coach was Pat Dale. (My guess is the Somerset player just mentioned the person as Danville's coach and the writer mistakenly put Tom Duffy's name in)

2. Also this statement is false: During the rivalry’s hiatus from 1974 to 1985, Somerset (under the guidance of John Cain) went to three Class 2A State Championship games, while Danville never made a state final game appearance during that same time period.
Danville was the undefeated Class AAA Champions in 1984.

3. This story about the pre-game in 1974 was a little "understated." But a pre-game rhubarb and allegations, brought the Danville-Somerset football rivalry to a halt for another 11 years.

“Yeah, we waited outside of Danville's locker room before the game so that we could tell them how bad we were going to beat them,” Messamore admitted. “Tempers got a little heated and a fight did break out.”

It was more like much of the Jumper team met the Ads coming out of the locker room and onto the field. Fists were up and Danville had to fight to take the field. It was a very good Danville squad with David McAfee at QB, Kenny Young and Scrapper Letcher at RB.


Still, it was a nice trip down memory lane. :Thumbs:
