When they get to the 2-3 round of the playoffs they'll play someone good.

I like Boyle Co and have become a fan of the program even though I have no connection with the area or the team other than my son being friends with a player on the team. Having said this, you make it awfully difficult to root for them with some of your comments. Yes, the Lexington public schools other than Douglas are struggling some (among other things this is due in part to the dilution of numbers and talent FD opening has created) but to call them all trash is just uncalled for and not founded from any actual knowledge. My guess is you have not seen many if any Lexington schools play this year or last. Football in general is cyclical e.g. Boyle and Danville just a couple of years ago were not quite on the level they have risen to now. A couple of examples are not too long ago Lafayette defeated Boyle pretty soundly a couple of times and last year Tates Creek played Danville to within 3 points at Danville on Homecoming night (most that saw the game that weren't from Danville agreed that Tates Creek was the better team but got the game taken from them by bad officiating). Yes, the Lexington public schools cannot seem to consistently stay competitive with the top schools but occasionally they are able to make a run. There are some specific reasons for this that make it difficult that I don't have the time to get into on this forum and there are some specific reasons why FD has been able to achieve such quick success.
Lastly, I'll add that I have seen Boyle play and FD play (I am not a FD fan in any way) and my eye test gives a slight edge to FD in depth and talent but I would be rooting heavily for Boyle and not be surprised at all if they were able beat them on coaching, chemistry, heart and toughness.
