Frederick Douglass adhered to the old adage “survive and advance” as they defeated Southwestern by the score of 21-20. This game was played on a natural grass field and with the weather conditions turned into a mud pit. Frederick Douglass took a 21-6 in the third quarter but Southwestern rallied and pulled within one; 21-20 with 51 seconds left on the clock on a 4 yard run by Connor Crisp. The Warriors chose to go for the win but Obadiah Commodore got penetration and Romarion Warner and Caden Johnson were able to stop Connor Crisp short on the run attempt. Frederick Douglass recorded 15 first downs and 327 yards of total offense. The Broncos were penalized six times for 65 yards and had a pass intercepted. Southwestern recorded 16 first downs and 257 yards of total offense. The Warriors were penalized twice for 10 yards and lost two fumbles.
