All in the family for Lafayette as Generals head to state

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The last FCPS team to make it to state was Bryan Station back in 1999.

The Defenders lost to Louisville Saint Xavier 34-31.

Lafayette hasn’t celebrated a trip to state since 1985…when the Generals lost to Louisville Trinity 28-7 in the 4A title game.

Saturday night, Lafayette takes on Louisville Male for the 6A crown at 6 ET at WKU in Bowling Green.

This trip, though, is more than one for just the football team.

It’s about the players’ families as well, and what it means to them.
