Panthers come back from 2
2-0 deficit to win 23-22
In one of the most memorable comebacks in Russellville football history, the Panthers scored 23 points in the final 12 minutes (fourth quarter) and 11 seconds (last play of the third quarter) to break the hearts of visiting Fulton County Friday. Fulton County (4-2) almost never is competitive against RHS, let alone getting a win. The Pilots appeared to be headed toward a blowout before Panther quarterback Jacob Naylor scored on a 23-yard run. He then completed a two-point conversion pass to freshman Lennon Ries. With 7:52 remaining in the third, Naylor completed an 8-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Flores. This time Naylor connected with Devan Kimbrough on another two-pointer. A lost fumble could have done the Panthers in, but the defense held and Naylor threw a 65-yard TD pass to Flores. Then Hunter McDowell kicked the winning point with 3:11 remaining. The defense held with Naylor intercepting the Pilots’ final pass to seal the win. Coach Mikie Benton praised freshman Ben Allen for his play in the game. RHS is now 1-0 in the district and 3-4 overall.

Top seed at stake in
F-S at LCHS in boys soccer
When the Franklin-Simpson boys soccer team visits Logan County Thursday afternoon, the number one seed in the district tournament will be on the line. Coach Hunt McCollum's Cougars are 5-0 in the 13th District and the Wildcats 4-1, following Logan's 2-1 win at Franklin. An F-S win this week, however, would lead to a coin flip. It's important to be the top seed to set up a tournament semifinal match with winless Todd Central. The number two seed will have to play a vastly improved Russellville team which lost 2-1 in overtime to Logan a few days ago and played Franklin close. Todd and Russellville play today, but even if the Rebels upset the Panthers RHS will still be the number three seed.

Running clocks in play on
Cougars' win, Panthers' loss
A running clock was good news for one team from the Land of Logan in high school football Friday, but not for the other. Logan County led 48-6 at the half over visiting Hopkins County Central. A 36-point margin is needed to keep the scoreboard clock in motion on traditional time stopages. This is the fifth game in the Cougars' six wins that the clock has worked extra fast. Logan, which leads the state Class 4A in scoring and in fewest points allowed, won 68-13.
At Murray, the Russellville Panthers were only behind 31-6 at the half, but Murray gained the running clock at 2:36 in the third quarter at 45-6. The Tigers scored on their first nine possessions to take a 59-12 lead midway through the fourth quarter, which proved to be the final score. The ninth possession came on the return of a fumbled Panther kickoff return. Logan County is now 6-0, Murray 4-2, Hopkins County Central 3-3 and Russellville 2-4.

Darden shines in Tops' loss at U of L
Former Russellville star Coco Darden played a super game at Louisville Saturday night in the Cardinals' come-from-behind 20-17 win over WKU. Darden, who is the starting nickelback for the Toppers, was credited with a career-high-tying eight tackles, including one for a loss. He returned two U of L kickoffs for WKU totaling 52 yards, including a 37-yarder after Coach Bobby Petrino's team had taken their first lead of the game on a late field goal. The Cardinal quarterbacks refused to throw toward receivers matched against Darden. The narrow loss may well have been the most impressive performance of embattled coach Mike Sanford's lackluster 1.3-year coaching career on The Hill so far.
