Paducah Tilghman advances at 11-0 as Marion County forfeits its playoff game
The 5AM Paducah team
Paducah Tilghman gets Friday night off. The Knights told Coach Thompson they have to forfeit the Class 4A first-round game, so the Blue Tornado move on to the second round. Thompson feels for the Marion seniors, but he's focused on getting his team healthy after a physical finale at Christian County. A night off is not a bad way to heal up.
