Two Class 4A hopefuls with disappointing opening week performances face off in the home opener at Bardstown.

The Tigers (0-1) traveled to Cooper and mustered less than 200 yards of total offense, falling 36-6. While the much maligned Tiger pass defense actually defended reasonably well against the Jaguars Cam O’Hara until late in the first half when the wheels fell off, they got little help from the offense, plagued by dropped passes and inconsistent play calls. LB Caden Farrell led the defense with 9 tackles. WR Riley Hatfield was a lone bright spot offensively with 5 receptions for 62 yards.

The Cardinals (0-1), suffering from a player exodus in the offseason that leaves them with just 38 players on the sideline, will be looking to rebound from a 54-14 drubbing at the hands of Woodford County on Saturday. While QB Lofton appears to have impressive athletic skills, including a couple of Mahomes-ian acrobatic passes, he got little in support and a fairly anemic run attack despite a huge offensive line.

The Cardinals won this matchup in blowout fashion last season in Campbellsville, arguably Bardstown’s worst game of the season. Can the Tigers get revenge against a depleted Taylor squad this year?

While the trip to Union was difficult for the Tigers, I will say that QB/DB Amonti Marshall (#7) is an absolute "dude"! Definitely a fierce competitor and flat out battled all night despite the score.  He went out a few times for dehydration and next thing you knew he was back on the field making plays.  I was very impressed and he was clearly the heart and soul of the team IMO.  

Good luck to Bardstown the rest of the season.  Very classy and hard playing team.

I second this and would not be surprised if they transition #9 into the QB role and use #7 in different ways to allow him to make a bigger impact.

Some of us advocated for that in the offseason and I actually falsely believed it was a done deal in spring practice. Cannot pinpoint why it wasn’t.

Where did all of Taylor's players go?

One of those Smiths graduated, the other went to FD, and apparently 6 or 7 guys went to Campbellsville. QB I think is a freshmen. FS/KR Tylan Spalding came from Bardstown.

TC starting QB/OLB is also out I believe. Bardstown rolls to a running clock victory.

Is that Lofton?

The kickoff of this game is at 8 p.m.  The Bardstown-Taylor Middle School game that had been scheduled for 6 p.m. preceding has now been moved to Saturday morning due to heat concerns.

The game can be watched on the Bardstown Media YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/bardstownmedia/live. 

As with the home opener every year at Garnis Martin Field, it is Hall of Fame Night and 4 new Tigers will be added to the rolls of the immortal inside the Tiger Den.
