Kroger Field
Lexington, KY
December 5, 2025

Kentucky Country Day took a 14-3 early in the third quarter but had to withstand a rally by Raceland to earn a 20-16 victory. Raceland actually took a 16-14 lead mid way through the final quarter before KCD rallied for the victory.. This was especially heart breaking for Raceland who has lost four consecutive football title games and actually out gained KCD 364-171 in total yardage. Raceland had one last opportunity but on a fourth-and-one from the KCD 39 with approximately one minute left in the game but a QB sneak was stopped cold and KCD took over the ball. KCD also got a spark today from Deion Davidson who was utilized mostly as a defensive back during the season but went both ways today scoring the game winning touchdown as well as playing well on defense.

Kentucky Country Day recorded seven first downs and 171 yards of total offense. The Bearcats were penalized once for five yards. Raceland recorded 19 first downs and 321 yards of total offense. The Rams were penalized seven times for 57 yards.

Parker Rudolph returned one kickoff for 13 yards. Tyler Wilson returned two kickoffs for 14 yards with a long return of 19 yards and returned one punt for five yards.
