So happy for Lyon County. Great season by both these schools. A magical tournament this year.

How many years was Coach Smith the head coach?

Only 2 seasons. 

With Coach Smith taking the job as principal at the high school, he has resigned his position as football coach. 

Where do the Mustangs look to now?

I just realized that I will be somewhere in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico on the night of the PT/Mayfield game. How can this be?!

We had to change vacation dates this year to get everyone able to go and it didn't occur to me at the time that I'd be missing this one. Looks like I'll be buying their internet plan after all.

Does James play defense? Sounds like he was be a great Linebacker.

No defense, although I agree with you, he'd probably fit in well at linebacker now that he's faster/quicker than he used to be. 

Congrats to PT qb Jack James on winning the state championship in wrestling in the 215 lb class this afternoon. Lb Uriah Virzi finished 2nd at 190 lbs. Lb Jimmy Mooney finished 3rd at 285. 

PT finished 4th as a team, in large part to the football guys who also wrestle. 

Tilghman had played fairly well in several of those losses, they just couldn't quite pull out a W in any of them. Last night's 25 point win over Graves was unexpected, but goes to show how great this Regional tournament has the potential to be. 

QB Jack James picked up an offer from Kentucky today and I would suspect there will be many more added as time goes by. Stoops and Marrow made a stop at Tilghman to talk to several of the guys. 

Appreciate the work @D Wolf! Some people may not realize it, but this isn't something that's put together in 10 minutes. It requires time and effort to put out a quality product, and you along with many others on BGP deserve some recognition. Thank you!

Not sure what to think about this one. He has been at Tilghman since I believe 2017. He's definitely gonna have them in the weight room. Coach Bloodworth has a bench press well over 500 pounds and is a strong, strong dude. 

I wish him nothing but the best, it just seems like a weird fit with him as the head coach to me for some reason. Hopefully he can get the program turned around. Good luck and knock it out of the park. 

Heck of a run! To beat LCA, Beechwood and OC in 3 straight to win it all, that's a task of a very large magnitude. The Cards will remember this one for a long time. Congrats from Big Blue land up the road!

Boyle, as everyone has known all year, will be very hard to deal with. Franklin, in my opinion, were underrated and as good as PT and CovCath. 

Mayfield INT!!!

Beechwood at the 20. 

Fumble by Mayfield. Beechwood recovers. Wow!

Don't turn the ball over and Mayfield is in great shape. 

Nice play call Mayfield. 

Heck of an ending coming up.

What a football game! Glad I chose to come to this. It had the feel that it was either’s game until the end. I don’t know how many players depart from PT after this year, but based on what I watched tonight I have a feeling they are around to stay. Congratulations to Covington Catholic on advancing to the state championship and to Paducah Tilghman on an amazing season.

PT only has 10 or 11 seniors, a very small departing class. 4 or 5 start I believe right off the top of my head. They should bring a lot of production back, but this will hurt all the way until next year.

Paducah Tilghman is a good, good team. Easily the best opponent we've faced all year. Martels Carter is a hell of a player.

PT honestly should have used him more. I would have had 40 touches for him somehow. They had too many stretches he wasn't enough a part of. 

Congrats Colonels! This is playoff football and you can't make mistakes. PT made too many and paid for it. 

Good luck next week against the Rebels. 

This camera is giving me vertigo. 

Heck of a half for the score to only be 7-7. PT having that many turnovers and not getting beat down on the road is a win of sorts. They probably have as many turnovers in this half as they had during the season. 

Thanksgiving turnovers being handed out aplenty by the Blue Tornado.
