DANVILLE — It’s a showown better suited for a district final, but it likely will happen early in the postseason.
Danville earned the No. 1 seed in the Division IV central district tournament draw Sunday and took a first-round bye. The state-ranked Blue Devils (16-3) will likely host second-seeded Newark Catholic at 5 p.m. May 9 in a sectional championship game.
