Tilghman, Murray advance to high school football Final Four

Paducah Tilghman  48   Logan County  27 
Paducah Tilghman came from behind in the second half to beat Logan County and advance to the Class 4A state semifinals.

Logan County (10-3) won the toss and took the ball, marching down the field for the first points of the game. They would lead 10-0 at the end of the first quarter. A Tilghman fumble gave the Cougars the ball again just after the start of the second quarter. That led to another Logan touchdown, which stretched the lead to 17-0 before Paducah Tilghman ever got on the board.

DJ Wilson ran in two touchdowns in the second quarter to cut the lead to 3.  A field goal by the Cougars made the halftime score 20-14.

The Tornado stormed back in the third quarter as Stone Crowe hit Avery Thompson from 14 yards out to give Tilghman their first lead. After Prosper Livingston-Holmes picked up a Logan fumble, Crowe connected with Chance McPike from 19 yards out for the score. Isaac James got his only offensive snap of the game in the third, and it was a 31-yard run to the endzone.

Carson Carlock scored for Logan County on a 2-yard run to cut the score to 34-27.

Tilghman would score twice more in the fourth quarter, an 18-yard strike to Cam Wade and a 23-yard run for Wilson. Wilson, the senior, would finish with 262 yards on the ground, 15 more through the air, and 3 touchdowns.

Tilghman (12-1) moves on to a rematch of last year’s 4A State Title game, heading to Franklin County (13-0) next Friday night. Coverage will begin about 5:30 p.m. on SuperTalk 94.3 WKYX.
