Per disqualification list on the KHSAA website: 11/22 Frederick Douglass Football vs Madison Central for "unsportsmanlike conduct" Darion Talbert and Terry Cayson and this incident should be investigated by the KHSAA.  Now then, were punches thrown? Will the KHSAA investigation find these players should be disqualified this week?   

Are these guys starters for FD?

Both play, but not starters I do not believe

Yes they both start. Cayson is a tight end and Talbert is a running back. Talbert had 5 rushes for 77 yards and a touchdown. Cayson is the tight end but not used much in the offense. I hate it for Talbert he missed most of the season with a knee injury and was just really starting to run the ball good plus he is a senior. The good news for Douglass is they are very deep at running back. Talbert's little brother rushed for 109 yards plus had a 75 yard kick return for a touchdown. They also have Smith and Allen who are good backs.

It would be nice to see the Trinity students show up in force on friday. There have not been too many the last three weeks. 

Audio only here.

I'm going with Trinity in this one, but I do think if FD can limit Trinity's rushing attack they have a real good chance.

Trinity - 21

FD - 13

Derion Talbert would be a major loss as he can be used as a running back but he is a game breaker as a kick returner and a threat anytime he touches the ball either as a runner, receiver, or kick returner.  The backfield has a strong stable of excellent running backs but I feel Derion's added value is as a receiver and a kick returner.  It also keeps opposing defenses to use double coverage on Aveion Chenault.  Also when Aveion and Talbert are both back as kick returners it really affects the kickoff and punt decisions.  Many teams elect to pooch kick on kickoffs and angle out of bounds on punts which usually gives Frederick Douglass excellent field position.  Dakari Talbert and Peyton Smith are both excellent running backs who gets extra yardage after the initial contact.  Aveion Chenault is difficult to defend because of his length and athleticism, hard to defend on "jump balls."  Frederick Douglass must play under control, protect their quarterback, and definitely reduce their penalties.

So how would a team get to keep players who were ejected last week? Happened to Trinity last year and there isn't an appeal or second avenue that I am aware of...Especially for multiple unsportsmanlike penalties. What am I missing?

Leaning T here, but FD is capable.

21-14 Godzilla in OT

I think it will come down to what Trinity’s offensive game plan is. If they lean on their run game then I think Trinity will win the game by 2 scores. If they become pass happy I think they may struggle to move the ball consistently and all FD to gain confidence and momentum.

I have no idea but I did see another thread that claimed refs have the ability to not fill out paperwork on the ejections and maybe that makes a difference?

Anyone?
