Expert Analysis
Michael Keighron | Prep Redzone Scout
Ahearn was a one man wrecking machine, racking up 159 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs before exiting the game in the third quarter when taking a nasty hit to the head. Once he left the game, the Legends offense became stagnant. Hopefully, he will be healthy in time to take on Bennett in the semi-finals next week.

I pegged Ahearn as Lancaster’s breakout player in the 2024 preseason and he delivered. Danny took the reigns as Lancaster’s lead back and had a tremendous season with over 1,200 yards from scrimmage and 19 TDs enroute to making the All State team. This season, there will be a lot of expectations as a senior with a new QB under center and a new WR corps.

Lancaster had one of the most balanced offensive attacks in WNY. Their passing game was well documented but at the center of their team was Ahearn; a disciplined runner that was also effective in the passing game.
