Final.

Thanks for the updates @Hardin County Preps!

Seems like an exciting game!

This was a solid football game. The Tigers ran out to a 22-0 first quarter lead behind a solid run defense and senior tailback Amonti Marshall who had a long TD run and a punt return for a score. However, Doug Preston’s Bulldogs clawed back, adjusting the run game behind Cavalli Pittman and also hitting a few big waggle passes to backs out of the backfield. At halftime Bardstown led 25-13.

The Bulldogs drove it down to the Tiger 30 to start the 3rd quarter, aided by some Tiger penalties, but used about half the 3rd quarter clock and were stopped on 4th down. The teams then traded blows from there, with Marshall getting the sealing TD run from about 50 yards with 2:30 to go to seal it.

On the night, I thought Marshall (5 TD’s) outpaced Pittman (4), but they were both very good. Marshall’s runs were long. Pittmans were grinding power runs. Tiger LB’s Caden Farrell and Kaden Stone were outstanding and FS Kenyin Calhoun deserves credit for several TD saving open field tackles on Bulldog waggle receptions. Superior special teams also played a role for Bardstown.

All in all, this was a street fight with both sides accosting the other by the collar and striking head blows until the other passed out. Bardstown was the initial aggressor. Very, very chippy game. Impressed with John Hardin’s improvement, they will be no pushover come playoffs.
