Caldwell County 19 Christian County 14

Final score.

Glad to see Caldwell get the win. That locker room will no doubt be full of emotion. Good win to start the year.

I agree. Very glad they got the win.

I'm sure it was emotional start to finish. Happy for the Tigers!

No offense Christian County, but I was definitely pulling for a Caldwell win this week.

Coach Barnes would be proud of his Tigers tonight. Seeing the players carry out the jerseys of the 2 fallen players that would have been seniors this year was very emotional for sure. Moments like that make me proud to be a Tiger.

That said, Coach McGowan did a fine job tonight in a tough situation, and Baron Wells was a beast on returns.

According to Twitter the 1st time the Tigers touched the ball they scored a TD on a return.

Sweet16, that is true, a 65 yard punt return by Baron Wells.

Those seniors have had to overcome so much and they've just kept winning. I'm sure all of Caldwell County is proud this weekend.

Caldwell County scored on a punt return, questionable blind side block. A Td pass, that was tipped twice by County defenders, (after a questionable targeting call against Christian County). And a kickoff return (Christian County revived an illegal participation penalty). Christian County out gained Caldwell to the tune of 353 yds to 106 yds. This is with 3 touchdowns being called back. I’m not one to blame a game on officiating, but when you throw a flag for unnecessary roughness because you determined that a player “overly aggressively blocked” the defender then it leaves something to question. Happy for the Tiger players and community. Sad that officiating tarnished what otherwise was a highly competitive game.
