Final.

For the second straight week, Bardstown played a pretty complete football game in all three phases, especially considering they were without leading scorer Amonti Marshall, who had over 400 all-purpose yards against John Hardin last week. Several Tigers filled the breach, including Senior Kenyin Calhoun, who returned the opening kickoff for a TD and ran for another; Senior wideout Riley Hatfield, who caught a 50+ yd. TD pass and guided the team cold turkey as QB when Carson Riley left the game late 3rd quarter; Junior RB Sevyn Hamilton who became the bell cow RB and had two scores; and Sophomore FB Jayden Chancellor, who made his varsity debut as a starter and was an impressive lead blocker and scored once.

Nelson County got a gutsy performance from Junior QB Kam Morley, who threw for two scores and ran for another on the last play of the game despite being under constant pressure and taking several big hits; Senior TE/SS Ethan Kessinger, who had a long TD reception and was all over the field defensively despite the game being out of hand at halftime; and Senior RB Brayden Smith who found some success running the ball in the first half but unfortunately did not return due to shoulder injury.

Bardstown gets a needed week of rest before concluding the regular season on Senior Night against Danville. The Cardinals host an important district game against John Hardin to determine who gets second and a home playoff game.
