The 5-0 and AP #1 team in 5A Frederick Douglass Broncos will travel to Georgetown to take on the 4-0 and AP #6 team in 5A Scott Co. Cardinals. Both teams are coming off large wins over other Lexington schools. The Broncos defeated Henry Clay 54-7 and the Cardinals beat Dunbar 48-27. The Broncos win gave them already their 60th win in program history in only their 69th game.

This has become one of the better rivalry's in central Kentucky in just 6 short years. These two schools will be meeting for the 10th time. Scott Co. won 3 of the first 4 games in the series, but since the playoff game in November of 2018 the Broncos have won the last 5 matchup's by combined total of 192-42 with two of the games being shutouts and two running clocks. Douglass leads the series 6-3 going into Friday's game.


So far this season in the Cardinals 4 wins they are averaging 33 points a game and allowing 15 points per game. The Broncos 4 games (excluding the Lafayette forfeit) Douglass is averaging 54.2 points a game and allowing 7.2 points per game. This should be the toughest game of the season so far for both teams. I think the Broncos speed and depth will be a to much for the Cardinals I take Douglass 36-13.

After '18 was the split that is the main reason the last 5 years 1800 students less-and that Douglas  has acquired so much talent SC just doesn't have the horses to play with them. Interesting game

Could be but Douglass did beat Scott when they only had 900 total students in their 2nd year and Scott had over 2300. The first two years that Douglass was put in 6A they had 850 the first year and 940 the 2nd year that is why they were moved to 5A.

...and Scott came back and beat them in the Playoffs that same year, its just not the same Scott County. Douglas 35 SC 14.

Exactly that was my point the numbers now is not much different that in 2017 when Scott got two of their 3 wins vs Douglass in that year Douglass had less than 850 students in 6A and Scott Co. had over 2300 students.

Man you know it is not the same Scott County, know matter how you cut it, they lost 600-700 boys in '19. Everybody knows there is a big difference in the schools talent wise, it is not even close. Douglas by 3+ Td's in my opinion.
