When I asked for predictions before the game, 64% of the 279 people who voted picked Frederick Douglass, but one Boyle County fan said “Rebs by 90.”
They weren’t far off.
The #7 ranked Boyle County Rebels combined a stifling defense and balanced, steady offense to blow out the #4 ranked Frederick Douglass Broncos 34-7 on a cold, rainy Friday night in Lexington. The Rebels, who were solid on the ground all night, mixed in some key passes to Cole Lanter to keep the Broncos off-balance.
After a shaky punt gave the Rebels great field position, quarterback Jagger Gillis punched in a short rushing TD a few plays later to get Boyle on the board first.
