The Tigers started 0-2 just like 2017, but took the first step in showing that 2018 is a different year in knocking off Caldwell County 35-20 in the battle of the Tigers. That brings them to their rivalry game with Christian County, who also enter at 1-2. Christian County is coming off a surprising loss to Henderson County (28-7), and their lone win was in a dogfight against the very same Caldwell County team Hopkinsville just beat. Hopkinsville hasn't beaten Christian County since 2014, but is this the year?

The Cougars come off their bye week as still one of only two teams in 4A to be unbeaten. They face a road trip to a desperate Hopkinsville team. Last season this was the announcement game for Logan County, who were still doubted despite the same 6-0 record. They pulled out a thrilling 13-12 upset in the regular season matchup, before everything went against them in a 43-8 running clock loss in the playoffs to Hopkinsville. The Tigers have lost three in a row, and a loss here will drop them from contention for a home playoff game, yet again. They've scored a mere 20 points in 2.5 games without starting QB Javier Bland, who was lost for the year. Can the Tigers find their footing and turn the district into a race, or do the Cougars set up a top ten showdown with Madisonville in a week?

It's do or die time for the Tigers. They enter this game with the exact record they had a season ago at 1-4, but are light one starting quarterback in Javier Bland. The Tigers have felt the absence, and we will see what they have after a bye week before this crucial district game. Madisonville is also jockeying for position in District 1, already at 2-0 in district play as part of their 4-2 record. Win here, and they set up a revenge district title game against Logan County on October 12th. Will Madisonville take Hopkinsville's place in the rankings? -
4A #4 Hopkinsville vs. Hopkins County Central
DragonFire posted a topic in KY Football (High School)
Hopkinsville continues to plow their way through their district, with three straight shutouts via a combined 136-0 score. Their latest drubbing, a 56-0 win over Calloway County, officially clinched the district title for the Tigers. They have scored 39 points or more in every game except against Christian County, and Jalen Johnson enters this game with a healthy 23:5 TD:INT ratio. They have not been scored on since September 16th, and that trend will absolutely continue in this game so long as they desire it to be so. Meanwhile, Hopkins County Central is on a two game losing streak, but will make the playoffs as the 4 seed thanks to their overtime win over Logan County in September. Hopkins County Central is allowing 141 yards per game through the air, and figures to be overmatched here. -
Hopkinsville is already the district champion for the first time in a decade, and will look to finish off district play unbeaten. They've rolled through district by an average of 34 points per game, and get 2-6 Hopkins County Central in the closer. The Tigers look good for it, do you agree?
-
The Cougars are due. Like, ridiculously due. Two weeks ago they nearly had it against Hopkins County Central, getting out to a lead, but finally falling 13-12. And Hopkinsville, they're still in the midst of their best season in years, and just gained a win in what was coming into the year viewed as the de facto district title game against Madisonville. The Tigers pasted them 45-14. They figure to keep rolling into next week's ACTUAL de facto district title game against Calloway County, but, miracles happen?
-
Two weeks ago, the unbeaten season came to an end for Hoptown at the hands of rival Christian County. Initially, this game looked like it would be a de facto district title game, but Madisonville continues to founder through a rebuilding season, and the latest loss to Calloway County could put them on the outs for a home playoff game. Do the Tigers roll or can the Maroons salvage their season?

It's the 4A District 1 championship this Friday when these two teams meet at the Stadium of Champions. Sure, each has a game in-district left, but neither Hopkins County Central (Hopkinsville) or Logan County (Calloway County) has a prayer of knocking off their respective opponent. Calloway County has won four in a row since starting the year 0-3, and has been in the driver's seat for at least the 2 seed since defeating Madisonville 20-12 on September 25th. Hopkinsville is 6-1, and in the midst of a program resurgence. They likewise dispatched Madisonville, but by a much more dominant 45-14 score. The other common opponent between the two is Murray, which fell to Hopkinsville while knocking off Calloway County by 27. The common opponents paint a Tiger victory, but what say you?
-
Hopkinsville looks to enter the playoffs riding a 5 game winning streak, which would be their longest in seven seasons. One would think they won't have a lot of trouble from Marshall County, which is just 2-7 this season, and will miss the Class 5A playoffs. Hopkinsville has not scored less than 37 points in the last 4 games. What's the damage end up being?
-
The Tigers enter off a bye week ready to begin thrashing their district rivals, and Madisonville is up first. The Tigers are 4-1 after a loss to rival Christian County (still inexplicable), while Madisonville is just 1-5 and lost to Calloway County. A season ago the records were the same, and the result was 45-14 in favor of Hopkinsville. Will we see a repeat?

We're almost back to teams with a real puncher's chance against the Tigers - but not yet. Hopkinsville finally had a district team score against them, but still rolled up Hopkins County Central by a 62-6 margin. Christian County remains the only team to have come within 22 points of the Tigers, gaining the 19-16 win over Hopkinsville in mid-September. They were not only easily the best team Hopkinsville faced, they were about the only one with any chance whatsoever. This week Hopkinsville travels to Marshall County, a team they hung a 62-17 loss on last season in a similar situation. Marshall County has nosed back above .500 on the year, entering at 5-4 and secured a return to the playoffs following a one year absence thanks to a 42-35 win over Apollo. Can the Marshals muster any hope in what will be their final home game? Or will the Tigers continue their march to the playoffs?

The Rock is back. Rockcastle got the emphatic statement win they needed in a 41-34 OT win over #2 Wayne County, and it put the Rockets in front in the district standings. Their only blemish on a 5-1 record was a 32-13 loss to 5A Pulaski County in mid-September. This week they travel to Russell County, which has lost 4 straight and is just 2-4 on the year. On paper, this looks like a mismatch, as it was a year ago in a 36-7 Rockcastle County win. Will this year be any different?

The Tigers are in a spot they haven't been in since 2004 - undefeated after three games. Last week they had a little difficulty early against Fort Campbell, trailing 7-0 early. They just scored 50 straight en route to their 50-7 win. This week, they face the first of two straight tough tests, a matchup with 2A Murray, our 5th ranked team in that class. Murray started the season strong, but came crashing down in a 39-14 loss to much larger Graves County. They step up in class again - does it end any better?
-
Hoptown will complete their last tuneup prior to the only losable game they have left when they host Murray this week. Christian County looms on the horizon, and the Tigers will have to fight to keep their focus. Hopkinsville has yet to score less than 41 points so far this season, and they should have their way again with the 1-2 Murray Tigers. Murray enters off a 27-7 loss to Graves County, itself a victim of Hopkinsville's in the season opener. A 20 point loss to a team that Hopkinsville beat by 22 does not paint a pretty picture. Is there any hope for Murray?
-
Hopkinsville enters 2016 as perhaps the most intriguing dark horse candidate to unseat South Warren. They have the one dimension that basically every other 4A team lacks - a passing game. QB Jalen Johnson threw for 31 touchdowns and over 2,100 yards last season, with that air raid attack leading the Tigers to a district title for the first time in a decade, and their first 10 win season in 13 years. His leading receiver and rusher return as well to lead the potent offense. A year ago, they used this opening game against Graves County to make a resounding statement, turning a 42 point loss in 2014 into a 27 point win in 2015. Will they declare they are ready for a serious run with another statement or can Graves County regain their footing, and put a 5-6 2015 campaign behind them?
-
2016 began just like 2015 for the Tigers - with a multi-touchdown win over Graves County. Jalen Johnson threw for five touchdowns in the victory, and will look to take the aerial attack down south against West Creek. Last year at home, the Tigers got the job done on defense, shutting out West Creek 21-0. What happens this year?
-
The 2-0 Tigers will look to keep it rolling against local rival Fort Campbell this week, a rematch of last year's 50-7 drubbing by Hopkinsville. Hoptown's Jalen Johnson has thrown for 9 touchdowns in two games so far, with CJ Henangan posting 5 of those TD receptions in just 7 total catches. Meanwhile Fort Campbell's brutal schedule continues, which has already seen them play powers Mayfield and Russellville. They still have Christian County to walk into next week as well before they finally get to cool their heels. Will we see a repeat of last year's blowout?

Series History: Hopkinsville leads 1-0 Series at Warren East: First Meeting The Raiders host the Tigers in the second meeting ever between these two teams. The first was a 52-35 Tiger victory in a first round playoff game in 1996, when Hopkinsville was a dominant power in the west. The times have changed. Hopkinsville started the season with a pair of wins, including one over East's nearby neighbor Greenwood. But since they have allowed over 40 points in each game while notching only 26 ppoints per game of their own. Meanwhile Warren East carries a 2-2 record of their own, alternating wins and losses with each game. They are currently on the upswing following a 50-18 victory over Ohio County. Most importantly, the Raiders have still not lost at home since 2011, a span of 9 straight wins. Homefield has been a huge strength.

Series History: Hopkinsville leads 11-2 Series at Warren Central: Hopkinsville leads 5-2 Playoff Meetings: 11/5/1993 - at Warren Central 41 Hopkinsville 18 11/2/2011 - at Hopkinsville 53 Warren Central 12 11/15/2002 - Hopkinsville 25 at Warren Central 0 11/2/2012 - at Warren Central 67 Hopkinsville 7 The home team has won three of the four playoff meetings between these teams, and both of Warren Central's wins over Hopkinsville ever came in the playoffs. This looks to be a mismatch like last year, though not quite as much of one.

The 9-1 Warren Central Dragons host the 3-6 Hopkinsville Tigers in a 2/3 matchup of the 5A playoffs. For Hopkinsville, it is their first playoff appearance since 2009 after suffering through a long winless streak that was snapped earlier this year. The Dragons have appeared in back to back region title games, losing both. As far as this season, the Tigers enter having lost their last two in contrast to Warren Central who won their last two after their lone setback to Bowling Green. The two teams share two common opponents on the year in Greenwood and Fort Campbell. Hopkinsville lost 45-17 to Greenwood at Trigg County and fell 57-35 to Fort Campbell at home. The Dragons knocked off Greenwood on the road 36-0 and gained a running clock at Fort Campbell 58-13. Everything points to a lopsided game. Though it looks like Warren Central will get the best of it this year, their series with Hopkinsville has been lopsided in the wrong direction. The Tigers lead the series 11-1, including 2-1 in the playoffs. Hopkinsville has won the last five by an average of 18 PPG, including an embarrassing playoff loss for Central in the 2002 second round at home where they gained only a single first down and a net of zero yards.

Series History: Hopkinsville Leads 11-3 Series at Warren Central: Hopkinsville Leads 5-3 It's finally football season, and for Hopkinsville it starts in the exact same place that their last season came to a close, at Warren Central. This time it's a regular season matchup in the Rivals Bowl, a bowl co-hosted by the Dragons and Greenwood, who will play in the first game. The Dragons have won two straight against Hopkinsville, eliminating them from the playoffs the last two years, including a 48-10 score last season. But in a bit of an anomaly, the Dragons have never won a regular season matchup with the Tigers. They're 3-2 in the playoffs against Hoptown, but have been blanked 9-0 in regular season meetings, the last coming in 2008, a 27-25 Hopkinsville victory. Both teams come in looking to improve on relatively disappointing campaigns in 2013. For Hopkinsville, they are continuing the slow road back to the program that they once were, and limped to a 4-7 record last season. But even that was an improvement from a 3-7 campaign the year before, and it wasn't so long ago that they suffered a 14 game losing streak. In their scrimmage they showed well against Owensboro, a team that is coming off a state semifinal appearance in 4A. Perhaps respectability is on the way, and a win in this first game would be another huge step. Warren Central, meanwhile, finished 6-6 last season, failing to make the region finals for the first time since 2009. There are a lot of familiar faces on the field returning, but almost none on the sidelines. Only Carlos Quarles returns from the previous Warren Central staff, and new coach Howard Feggins has brought a completely new offensive system and philosophy. With that, came new coaches, including former UK head coach Guy Morriss, recently added as OL coach. Last season started on the wrong foot with an ugly loss to Madisonville North-Hopkins, but the Dragons had a strong showing against perennial power John Hardin in their scrimmage. This game is a bit of a must win as far as the record goes, as it will only get more difficult from here.
