I would like to personally congratulate the 29 seniors at Frederick Douglass. They are great kids with a bright future ahead of them. In their 4 years they had a great impact on the Frederick Douglass football program they had a 49-5 record and 16-3 in the playoffs with 3 regional titles and a runner-up. They also had 2 state final runner-ups and now a state championship. Congratulations!

29 seniors is a lot for a 5A team. My local team is 4A and was 5A just 4 years ago and they are lucky to dress 40 players period.

They probably could play 6a but stays in 5a to avoid the Louisville powers

They have won 1 state championship in their 7 year existence. Why in the hell would they “play up” to 6A when they haven’t even been dominant in 5A? That’s probably one of the dumbest things I have ever read on this site in my 17 years of being a member lol. 

Congrats Freddy Douglas on your first State Championship. Also big congrats to former Paintsville Tiger Thomas Howard (Louisville baseball signee) on the big TD. Proud of you buddy.
