Recap:

 

St. X 17 Ballard 0

 

The first week of the regular season for the St. X Tigers saw the Ballard Bruins come to Br. Thomas Moore Stadium, and as expected, the Tigers took care of business. In heat shortened game the Tigers defeated the Bruins 17-0. Noah Houk lead the Tiger offense by completing 8 of 15 passes for 141 yards and 1 TD; more importantly 0 turnovers. St. X finished with 199 yards of total offense with the leading rusher, TaiJon Smith, rushing for 36 yards on 10 carries.

 

The Tiger defense was just as effective as the offense, allowing Ballard only 89 yards of total offense in one half of play and forcing a fumble. Logan Butler lead the defense with 2 tackles, but he some help from his friends in stopping Ballard’s wing t, and having a very productive half of football.

 

As a Tiger fan I would be pleased with the result of the Ballard game. The team was effective and did exactly what they needed to do in this game, take care of business.

Last Week Results: Bryan Station beat Harlan Co. 56-22.

Anyone remember the Bryan Station red zone penalties that killed them in this game?

If you are refering to the 1999 4A Championship game, the back breaker (as I remember): St. X down 7 with less than 4 minutes in regulation, 4th and goal from the 12.... Pass interference on Bryan Station gave St. X 1st and goal and the rest was history. If Bryan Station could have stopped X on that play they have an excellent chance of winning the game ..... By the way, it was a good call. DB reached over the top and through the recevier to bat the ball away....

One of the best championship games ever!

I remember when the X defensive line all did belly flops to draw the Bryan Station offensive linemen to move. That moment sticks out every time I think about that game. It was really a great game!

I agree, it was a good call and it took a lot of guts to call it.

I had both in mind when I made the comment but the belly flops stick out to me too and made me think to make the comment.
