Fredericktown, unbeaten this season, clinched the KMAC championship title with a dominant 72–35 win over Mt. Gilead in a boys varsity conference game. The victory underscored the Freddies’ perfect run.
The matchup was played Tuesday, Feb. 24, at Fredericktown High School, sealing a historic finish for the program.
Fredericktown set the tone immediately with a stifling defensive effort, holding Mount Gilead scoreless in the first quarter while building a 23-0 lead. The Freddies continued to dominate in the second quarter, extending their advantage to 47-15 at halftime behind balanced scoring and relentless pressure. Fredericktown maintained control after the break, efficiently closing out the game while allowing the entire roster to contribute.

Fredericktown heads back into tournament play Saturday as the Freddies visit Pleasant for a 1 p.m. tip on Feb. 28. Fredericktown looks to set the tone early and shake off a long gap in the series.
The programs haven’t met since Jan. 14, 2014, when Pleasant defended its home floor with a 73–58 win. Now four‑time defending KMAC champions, Fredericktown enters this matchup determined to erase that memory and extend its postseason run.
