Yikes... sounds bad.

It is bad. The fanbase is dismayed at the dismantling of the football program over the last two years and the way it is being coached now. The new superintendent needs to put a tourniquet on it as soon as possible. The window to salvage the next few years may be narrower than he realizes. I am hoping he reserves the newly vacated athletic director position to be coupled with the head football coach position, along with other designations to help make the job as attractive as possible. If Danville can attract a top level coach he needs to be the AD to put an end to any possibility of repeating the last few years. Of the past three championship coaches,  two were AD and if the last had been Danville wouldn’t be in this mess. Unfortunately, the next coach up is once again going to have to reestablish championship culture as Coach Clevenger did.

i agree Danville should have never got rid of Clevenger as he had them rolling.  Peach when he was at Anderson in 2018 had them undefeated in the regular season and got beat by Highlands by 4 points in the playoffs.  Anderson seemed to be good while he was there and they are awful now. Maybe some Anderson people that know can answer but from the outside it seemed like Peach did a good job at Anderson and they fell off a cliff after he left.

Danville had 48 yards of penalties in the last two minutes of game to rescue Mercer from a 4th down punt situation at midfield and then subsequently move the Titans penalty by penalty all the way down to Danville's five yard line. The penalties included roughing the kicker and several unsportsmanlike fouls. Never seen anything like it. The insanity was punctuated by Danville calling a timeout with 4 seconds in the game allowing Mercer, which was out of timeouts, to have plenty of time to line up the game winning field goal. There is no joy in Mudville.

Neither team deserved to win this game.  Both teams tried to give it away the whole game.  Mercer scored 14 points in the 1st QTR and then couldn't move the ball the rest of the game.  Passing game is non existent for Mercer also as they were 2 passing in the 2nd half.  From a coaching standpoint Mercer on the last play was scrambling and was not going to get a FG off and got bailed out by a penalty to set up the FG.  They had people running on and off the field with clock running out and weren't going to get a play off.
