Paducah Tighman is your 2009 Class 3A State Champion!

Breaking a football drought of 24 years. Way to go Big Blue!

Wow, that really shock me. I really thought Somerset would be the better team. Just goes to show you why you have to play the game.

Holy cow

Considering how this season has gone for Tilghman, I see a movie deal coming...

For those of us from up north tell us about their season?? :confused:

Congrats to both teams on a great season.

Nothing but respect for the Tornado but I feel badly for Coach Lucas at Somerset. Wish he could have gotten the win.

Wow....

When Fort Campbell scored 21 on Tilghman in the first minute of the game early this season, I just assumed this was not their year, but wow. Way to go Blue Tornado, congrats!

Tilghman does have a lot of talent on this team. Randy Wyatt, as head coach, has faced a LOT of local criticism. After the third or fourth week of the season, Wyatt wasn't at practice one day, and there was speculation that he had been let go. Wyatt himself, even questioned after losing to McLean county 28-6 (A game that PT should have won) whether or not coaching was the right profession for him. They had one of their premier running backs, suffer a season ending injury very early (Might have even been the first game) EVERYONE locally, (or at least everyone I've talked with), wrote them off after finishing fourth in their district, and figured at best, they might win their first playoff game, or two, but wouldn't advance past the third round. This was a team that did not play as a team, and appeared to have some leadership issues. Just goes to show what you can do when you come to play instead of going through the motions.

8 weeks ago, they probably were...

Tilghman finished third in the district.

 

No one wrote off Tilghman because of their talent. The utilization of it has been questioned.
