The Frederick Douglass Broncos (9-0) travel to Boyle County to take on the Rebels (8-1) for the 3rd time. This marks the 6th straight year that two of the best programs in central Kentucky will close out the regular season. So far the Rebels have won 4 of the first 5 meetings with the only Douglass win coming at Boyle Co. in 2022 when they went 15-0 and won the State 5A title.While Boyle has controlled the matchup they both have had very successful post-seasons. Boyle since they began the series have four 4A titles and a runner-up. The Broncos after the 2022 season moved back up to 6A. In those 5 years the Broncos have had one 5A state title a 5A runner-up and two 6A semi-final losses to 6A champs Trinity.This game also features two of the best high school players in the state in Boyle's TE Senca Driver and Douglass RB Dakari Talbert. They also have played two common opponents. Those are Highlands and Bryan Station. The Broncos defeated Highlands 41-20 in the opening game of the season and defeated Bryan Station last week 25-12. The Rebels lost at Highlands 41-21 with Driver and they defeated Bryan Station in week two 35-0.This should be a good game between two good teams as I hope each year that I hope both teams get out the game without any injuries going into what both expect to be long playoff runs. The kickoff is scheduled for 7:30pm Friday. I am sure Boyle Streams their game just not sure what or where.

- Out Foxxed again!!! First it was Kade Goodin, now it's Timmy Emongo’s turn to ball out in defeat to Foxx Coons and Woodford County. Scott County's all-purpose star ran and received for 100+ yards each and scored three touchdowns, but the Cards weren't adequately dressed for “Jacket” weather. Coons is still a darkhorse at this point, but his play as of late merits recognition. He's thrown for over 500 yards with a TD/INT ratio of 9/0 in back to back wins over Collins and Scott County.
