Curt and Effie open this week's Inside the Lines with their usual look around high school football in North Central Ohio before welcoming Danville junior running back Cy Wallace.

Already the program's all-time leader in 100-yard rushing games and on pace to break its career rushing record, Wallace talks about growing up in a football-crazed community, the high standards of the Danville program and stepping into a leadership role. He also reflects on the Blue Devils' state semifinal run in 2024, last season's late playoff push and the sky-high expectations surrounding this year's team.

With Danville off to a dominant 8-0 start, Wallace discusses what it's like spending many second halves on the sidelines, the psychology of momentum and the secret behind a defense that's allowed just 58 points all season. Plus, we preview two huge games on the horizon: a Week 9 showdown with Centerburg that could decide the KMAC title, followed by a Week 10 rivalry matchup with East Knox. Finally, Wallace discusses what it would mean to get to a state championship for the first time in Danville's history.
