Harrodsburg could have rolled over and conceded the season after two earlier blowout losses to Lexington Catholic and Boyle County but they have rebounded nicely to improve to 7-2.   Keith Dunn scored three touchdowns for Harrodsburg and Patrick Bugg threw for 174 yards on 12 of 19 completions.  Earlier this season, coach Don Smith switched incumbent QB Dan Hopewell to the slot position and moved Bugg to QB.  This change appears to have kick-started Harrodsburg and they needed the whole package tonight to subdue a stubborn Danville squad.
