Danville did not play better than expected at all. I thought they were off a bit, didn't use VanCleave quiet enough on O. And then their QB getting hurt for a series or two wasn't something you expect either. I predicted this game, perfectly. I said 35-21, a week before the game. Although I thought the Ads would be up 28-0, something like that, and then play more of a prevent defense in the 2nd half and slowly allow Mayfield to make it look close. IN reality, the game was somewhat competitive. I didn't expect it to be, having watched both teams. I know for a fact Danville didn't play it's best game. Maybe Mayfield didn't either, but that still makes the game end up the way it should've. Danville was better all year, was better in this game, and are the champ. Head to head, Danville is dominant over Mayfield. And now are just 1 title shy of catching them for 2nd place in the state. Boyle county does still hold an advantage over Danville head to head, but they are always a bigger class school, and Boyle steals many Danville athletes, due mainly to the reputation of Boyle academically, and plus other sports besides football.

Historically Danville has the series lead on Boyle.
