Heart - Mason 28 Bardstown 27

Head - Bardstown 35 Mason 21

Bardstown's 5'5" junior running back, Tyleeq "Ty Ty" Williams, has 1,478 yards rushing on 154 attempts for 20 TD's on the season, to go with 27 receptions for 431 yards and 5 scores, 2 punt returns and 1 kickoff return for TD's.  That is after not becoming the primary ball carrier until week 5.  He went for 237 yards and 3 TD's on 18 carries against Union County Friday night.  We at Bardstown feel strongly he should be considered an all-state selection this season and given early consideration as a potential Mr. Football candidate entering his senior year next year.

Tiger senior wideout "Baby" Shannon Tonge became the school's all-time career receptions leader (he already held the career mark for yardage) Friday night.  He has 36 catches for 714 yards and 10 TD's this season, and 101 for his career.

Senior QB Brayden Clark has completed almost 81% of his passes this year for 1,319 yards and 14 TD's against just 2 interceptions.  This despite being sidelined for 6 weeks with a broken collarbone.  Clark waited patiently behind his predecessor, Brady Clark (no relation), for 3 seasons before stepping into the role this year, and is the unquestioned field general and leader of this Tiger team.

It should come as a shock to noone, but the Tigers have lost two more starters to season-ending injury.  Coach Clark has diligently recruited the kid with the acne problem from third period French and the overweight bassoon player from the band to replace them . . .

Seriously, I never in all my years playing or watching have ever seen anything like this.

Some photos from this morning’s Tiger Thanksgiving practice, complete with a few dozen players from past teams, ranging from Class of ‘65 on up to Class of ‘22. Lots of banter and trash-talk about whose team would have beaten whose team. Another link in the chain. Very, very rewarding morning for Tigers past, present, and future.

Williams in again for the third time in the first half. He'd be hard to tackle in a phone booth.
