The Hopkinsville Tigers saw their season come to a close on Friday night with a 35 to 28 loss to Pleasure Ridge Park at the Stadium of Champions.
The Panther scored the first three touchdowns of the game to take a 21-0 lead before Hopkinsville got on the board on a 1-yard touchdown pass from Aiden King to James Bradley. The Carlo Jones PAT was good to make it 21-7 with :19 second left before halftime. Calvin Mitchell of PRP would return the Tigers kickoff 77-yards for a touchdown as time expired to give the Panthers a 28-7 halftime lead.
The Panthers final touchdown of the night would come on their opening drive of the 2nd half on 1-yard run by Donta Smith to put PRP up 35 to 7.
The Tigers would score the next three touchdowns on an 11-yard pass from King to DeAvery Ramey with 5:37 to go in the 3rd quarter of play. The next two touchdowns would be interceptions returned by James Badley covering 85 yards and Treston Kay covering 99 yards.
The Tigers would have one final try to tie the game with 1:34 to play but would throw an interception on the first play of the series and PRP would take a knee three times and run the clock out for the win.
The Tigers end the season at 3 and 7 while PRP is now 2 and 8 and visit Ryle in the opening round of the 6A playoffs next week.
