Danville is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They took their matchup with ease, bagging a 59-8 win over Fisher Catholic. The Blue Devils' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

Danville's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Cyren Wallace, who rushed for 115 yards and three scores on only eight carries.
