Maybe things at Danville and elsewhere are different, but I'm sure the current Chatard seniors remember well what happened in 8th grade and freshmen year. They were probably all at those games.
My senior year we beat HH in semi-state, and we absolutely remembered our freshmen year losing to them. It was brought up often. Hell, there were even seniors who's brothers had had their hs football career ended by HH that they remembered. Same thing my junior year when we beat Cincy Elder. They were the only loss my 8th grade year for Chatard. History matters and even if these kids were young, they understand that they are part of something bigger than themselves.
Can't wait to see redemption.
