All time records: Trinity leads 2-1

Last Meeting: Trinity 23-13 8-30-24

This will mark the 2nd straight season that the Broncos and Shamrocks will meet up with a trip to Kroger Field and a spot in the 6A championship game. Trinity defeated Douglass 14-7 in OT at home last season. This is the 6th straight state semi-final game and what is there to say about Trinity and the dynasty they have built as the will be going for back-to-back state titles. They will also be going for their 12th title in the last 18 seasons and 29th overall.

The Broncos defeated Madison Central 36-6 in the regional championship game at Douglass. The Douglass defense was very good in not allowing the Indians a first down until halfway through the 3rd quarter. Their offense rushed for 289 yards. They have 4 different backs now that senior Derion Talbert is back he rushed for 109 yards on just 9 carries and also had a 75 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. They also have one of the best all-around athletes in the state in WR Aveion Chenault.

The Shamrocks are coming off a hard fought come from behind win at home vs. a much improved and hard playing Ballard Burins. Trinity trailed much of the first half and was down 21-17 at the half. Then the Shamrocks dominated the 2nd half outscoring Ballard 18-0 in the 2nd half for the win. The Rocks are led on offense by sophomore QB Zane Johnson and RB Jamaurior Berry. They like Douglass have very a stable of 3-4 excellent receivers. Their defense again this season is very good they have allowed 16 or less points in 11 of their 13 games so far with 5 shutouts.

The game will be on the Trinity TV I am sure, but at this time I have no other information on streaming sites. I or @theguruwill post the address once they are out. This should be a good one.

Assuming it is business as usual for a Trinity home game we will have free video of this game from WDRB and it is very high quality.

Looks like this should be a great game. I'll go with Hilbert coming through for the Shamrocks and Trinity wins by 3.

The Trinity Shamrocks (11-2) will welcome the Fredrick Douglass Broncos (9-4) to Marshall Stadium on Friday night for what should be an exciting 6A semifinals matchup.

T and FD have had a exciting series over the past two seasons. FD visited T twice last season, winning the regular season meeting before the Rocks knocked off the Broncos in OT in the semifinals. The Rocks beat the Broncos on the road during the second week of the season this year by a score of 23-13. Looking back at that game, is was a pretty even matchup where turnovers for FD made all the difference and gave the Rocks the advantage. Both, however, have seen a lot of football and are different teams since then.

Trinity comes into Friday's meeting after taking down Ballard 35-21 where they had to comeback from a slow start and being down 21-17 at the half. The Rocks defense held Ballard off the board in the second half and the running game with JB Berry (3TDs) helped lead the way for Trinity. 

Fredrick Douglass comes into Friday off the back of a 36-6 win over Madison Central where the Broncos controlled the game from the get go. Game was called with 2:11 left due to injury of MC player. The Broncos' reliable weapons of Talbert, Smith, and Chenualt were on full display.

The all-time series is 2-1 in favor of Trinity. Fredrick Douglass will look to get payback for last year, and earlier this season, when they step on Harry Jansing Field Friday night. Expecting a close one and possibly another classic between these two very talented and athletic programs.

Give me the Catholics! 

Go Broncos Go!!!!!!

I really don’t know, I think either team is more than capable of winning. Good luck to both teams.

If FD can slow down the Trinity run game, then I think they will win in a close game. 

FREDERICK Douglass wins 27-21 on the road in regulation. The OC has been playing possum all season and will call the game according to the strengths of the Broncos.  

Can't wait to pull into Marshall Stadium with all this optimism. 

I'll take Frederick Douglas by 3.

I hear that 2 FD players were ejected vs Madison Central and not eligible for the Trinity game? True/false?  Which players if true?

The referees had to do the "paperwork" after the game for the suspensions to be enforced.

Do you say that as though the refs might not do the paperwork?
