Graves County 48, Caldwell County 0
The Graves County Eagles entered the game at Caldwell County 0-3 all-time against the Tigers. Graves had little resistance picking up their first win ever over the Tigers.

It was also the 71st win for Lance Gregory as head coach of the Eagles, making him he winningest coach in school history.

The Eagles threw an interception on the first play of the game, but the Tigers fumbled the return giving Graves the football right back. The Eagles then proceeded to score as Kaden Gregory found Brayden Woodward in the back of the end zone on an eight-yard pass at the 8:56 mark in the first quarter.

The Eagles got two more touchdowns in the quarter, one a 46-yard "pop" pass to Lincoln Acree and another a three-yard run from Cole Katzman, as Graves led 21-0 after the first quarter. 

The Eagles would eventually score three more touchdowns in the second quarter to go up 41-0 at the half.

Graves County (2-2) will host Owensboro (1-3) next week. Caldwell County (0-4) will travel to McCracken County (2-2).


Mayfield 48, McCracken County 14
The Cardinals were dominant in a bounce-back win over the Mustangs. 

Mayfield got on the board first with a 31-yard-field goal from Lincoln Suiter with 7:51 remaining in the first quarter. A safety forced by the Cardinal defense put two more points on the board and Mayfield was up 5-0 at the 6:40 mark.

The scoring really picked up from there as Jutoriaus Starks scored three first half touchdowns, while Mehki Dumas and Xavier Biggers each added TDs to put the Cardinals up 41-7 by halftime.

The Cardinals (3-1) will travel to Henderson County (1-4) next week. McCracken County (2-2) will host Caldwell County (0-4).


Paducah Tilghman 42, Henderson County 27
The Blue Tornado followed last week's big win over Mayfield with their first win over Henderson County since 2014.

It took Tilghman just four plays to get on the board going up 7-0 with 10:42 left in the first quarter. Tilghman would follow that with two more first quarter touchdowns to go up 21-0 by the end of the quarter.

Henderson would outscore Tilghman 10-7 in the second quarter, but it was already too little, too late for the Colonels. 

Tilghman struck early in the second half on a 27-yard interception return just one minute into the half to go up 35-10.

The Blue Tornado finished the night with 416 total yards of offense to Henderson's 299. Tilghman had 259 yards in the air and 157 on the ground.

Paducah Tilghman (4-0) will host Hopkinsville (0-4) next week.


Calloway County 33, Marshall County 7
The Lakers have now won three of their last four meetings against the Marshals. It's the second win of the season for a Lakers team that snapped a 16-game losing streak last week.

The Lakers caught a bit of luck to score early as the Marshals' defense forced a fumble but it was recovered in the end zone for a Laker touchdown to put Calloway up 6-0, which would be the score after one quarter of play.

The Lakers scored on their first play of the 2nd quarter to go up 14-0. The Marshals would answer with their only touchdown of the night, a 64-yard run from Aiden Dunigan. However, the Lakers would score again to go up 21-7 at the half en route to the win.

Calloway County (2-2) will host Warren East (2-2) next week. The Marshals (1-3) will host Madisonville-North Hopkins (3-1).
