Glasgow plays Danville for second consecutive year By JON WEBB Glasgow Daily Times GLASGOW — Don’t let Danville’s record fool you.
Glasgow coach Rick Wood said his team’s 2A Commonwealth Gridiron Bowl first-round opponent’s 4-6 standing says more about who Danville played than it does about the Admirals themselves. “They’ve played some top-flight competition,” Wood said. “And they’re really playing their best football right now.” Danville will host Glasgow on Friday in the midst of a three-game winning streak. In those three games, the team has scored 138 points and has only allowed 34. Glasgow’s performances in the last few weeks haven’t been top-flight. Since opening the season at 3-0, the Scotties have gone just 2-5, and are 1-2 since their Oct. 9 open week. Injuries plagued Glasgow at the tail end of the season as well. The team has been without leading rusher Tavion Parrish, running backs Jaleen Sublett and Griffin Smith, defensive end Hunter Bowles and others at various points. The injury situation is taking a turn for the better, though. Wood said he expects everyone but Bowles and Sublett to return for Friday’s game to help Glasgow erase the memory of the 45-6 loss Danville handed the Scotties in the first round of the postseason last year. The 2009 Scotties, however, are much different than the 2008 version. After going 0-11 last year, Glasgow improved to 5-5 this season, with its five losses coming against teams with a combined 38-12 record. “There aren’t a lot of teams that improve by five wins,” Wood said after Glasgow’s loss to 8-2 Franklin-Simpson last week. “(And) the season isn’t over yet.” Wood said he’s pleased with his team’s efforts to try to improve by six wins. “I really like the way our kids have prepared, especially mentally,” he said. “They seem really into it.” Wood described Danville as a “rushing team” that has several players capable of hurting an opponent on the ground.
