Final.

 

This one surprises me, I thought it would be close.

Congrats Bardstown and I can't wait to hear from @Hearsay!

Complete and total domination by the Tigers. Offensive and defensive lines were extremely physical, best I have ever seen several of those kids play. Jumped out to a 21-0 1st quarter lead. Let up a kickoff return TD and slowed a bit 2nd quarter, led 28-7 at half. Got the stop on ACS 3rd quarter 1st drive, took it down and scored. Running clock late 3rd quarter. Even better news, a lot of Tigers to spread the wealth to, not just Marshall who played but was battling illness. Shout out Kenyin Calhoun, Sevyn Hamilton, Kaden Stone, Jayven Montgomery. Statement game from some kids playing with a chip on their shoulder.

ACS had no answer for Bardstown's speed, and worse, they got jumped on quickly, and before they blinked were down 21-0.  At that point, ACS had run four offensive plays, including a fumble.  For all intents and purposes, the game was over at that point.  I did feel like the Patriots showed fight in the second quarter in particular, but they failed to finish two opportunities in Tiger territory turning over downs twice, including once inside the 10 yard line.  If they could have gotten to halftime down 28-14... they still would have lost but I think they may have had an opportunity to make the Tigers sweat.  A thud of an ending for the Patriots, but still their best showing in terms of wins in 14 years, and a solid season.

Always tough to watch seniors’ last game. I thought Adams worked his behind off, running for his life most of the night. His receivers sure didn’t do him a lot of favors. My son had to block #8 and called him a “unit” and very sportsmanlike. Great season for the Patriots. The American flag entry is one of the better traditions in Kentucky high school football.
