Third time’s a charm. In their third 5A State Championship appearance, the Frederick Douglass Broncos finally broke through and took down Bowling Green with a 28-7 victory at Kroger Field.
After disappointing losses to Covington Catholic in 2019 and South Warren in 2021, the Ty Bryant-led Broncos finally got the monkey off their backs.
They heard the noise all season. People knew this Douglass team was really good but remained skeptical due to their history of losing when it mattered most. That stigma around the program is now gone, as the best team all season was the best team Saturday night.
