Final.

BGHS clinches 5A District Two on Homecoming Night! The Purples are 26-1 on Homecoming Night since 1985, when current Purples Head Coach Kevin Wallace coached Warren East to a 6-0 win in East's only win ever over the Purples.

 

The Purples have not given up a touchdown in 21 consecutive quarters now, and during that time frame, have allowed only one FG to Owensboro back in September. Not too shabby for a defense that returned only one starter from last year!

 

Junior QB Devin Hayes tied his own school record (set against Logan Co earlier in the season) with five TD passes in the game. All were thrown in the first half and were thrown to four different receivers. Junior AP All State WR Nacarius Fant caught two, and is one away from D.L. Moore's single season record of 13 (Moore is in his senior year at South Carolina). Returning punts and kickoffs for scores was supposed to be Greenwood's specialty, but Fant took a punt back 71 yards for a score, and junior RB Blake Pillow took a kickoff back 85 yards for another score. Pillow also caught a short TD strike from Hayes.

 

According to the local newspaper, the Purples allowed only 71 yards to the potent Gator offense after a stellar performance against Warren Central last week. The reserves allowed Greenwood only two yards in the second half.

 

Hayes now has 26 TD passes on the season and is only two short of the school record set by Scooter Hollis just last year. The Purples have now won 24 games in a row overall and eleven at the hallowed grounds of Donaldson Stadium/Beard Field. BGHS will host 4A power Lexington Catholic next week to close out the regular season.

 

Happy Homecoming, Purple Nation!!
