How far could Danville have went in playoffs if they still had
Sage Dawson at QB
Mari Brown at Rb
Geo Brown at Wr
Bixler
Mclure
All above went to Boyle.
Gavin Rodriguez a good lineman that went to Mercer. Could Danvllle make final
4 if all those guys stayed?

If those guys are around, Clevenger is still at Danville. So yes, I think there would've been a good chance for Danville to make the final 4 with that crew. Clevenger being there may also have meant Kelvin Turner's son was also in Danville and that could've also helped propel a deep run.

There was a ton of damage in the Clevenger firing but I think a lot more damage was done when he wasn't rehired. The community wasn't happy with the firing but that produced no change. Then when the job came open 2 years later and Clevenger wasn't even considered, that drove off a lot of supporters, fans, and boosters. Especially considering who was hired instead of him. No offense to Parks but his resume vs. Clevenger's is not comparable. And this all happened after the previous superintendent APOLOGIZED to Clevenger in an open community meeting. So support was signaled for him and then when the time came to make things right that was not done. All these wounds were self-inflicted for Danville. And all of them could have been fixed with competent leadership. One could point to the Danville BOE's decision not to renew Keith Look's contract as superintendent in 2018 as the beginning of the end because that is what led to that same BOE hiring the super that aliented lots of community members and fired Clevenger.

As Red says above, Danville football has a lot of headwinds now. Morale around the program is not good and the perception is worse. And when has anyone who made the decisions that wrecked the football program been held accountable? I have yet to see it.
