The (2-6) Indians of Montgomery Co. come down I-64 to "The Farm" to take on the (8-0) Broncos of Frederick Douglass. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30pm and can be seen with subscription to the NFHS Network. The Indians are coming off a rough night at home suffering a 56-0 loss at the hands of Scott Co. The Broncos are coming off a 54-0 nothing win over Great Crossing.

The Broncos are averaging 46.25 points per game and that includes a 1-0 forfeit from Lafayette (52.7 without that game) and are only allowing less than 4 points per game on defense. The once again allowed a team less than 100 total yards vs Great Crossing who had 84 total yard and 60 of those we on the final drive of the game vs mostly freshmen and sophomores.  The Broncos vaulted defense is only allowing 82 total yards per game.

This will be the 5th time that Montgomery Co. and Frederick Douglass have played the Broncos are 4-0 in the series outscoring the Indians 196-14. Frederick Douglass has had 7 running clocks in the 7 games they have actually played this season and I expect it to be 8 this week.

So, my prediction is Broncos 110 Indians 0.

Frederick Douglass by as much as they want.

I really hope the new alignment puts them in a more competitive district. There's only one game on their schedule that they chose and that was Boyle County. The four district games gave them very little (with the margin exception of Scott County) and the five Fayette County games have been just as bad. We talk a good deal about Douglass disappointing in the playoffs but part of that is their lack of big game experience because of the pre-set schedule.

Is there any chance that the powers that be in the Fayette County district rescind the mandate forcing all public schools to schedule each other every year?

They did scrimmage St. X so they are at least trying to get a good opponent. Boyle County is good to right before playoffs because their first game will be no contest.

It would be great, but I don't see it happening while it is very obvious in football they (the District) requires all of the city schools to play each other in all sports not just football. Also, because of seeding in the other sports other than football Douglass is in a district with Henry Clay, and Bryan Station.

Bump.

A whole bunch for FD, not many for MoCo.

Douglass leads 30-0 late in the first quarter.

Douglass now about 1 minute into the 2nd quarter now leads 37-0 and the running clock has started.

Douglass gets a three and out and after a Montgomery Co. punt on the Broncos first play from scrimmage they score on a 18 yard pass and now lead 44-0 with about 7 minutes left in the first half.
