It was total domination by the Hopkinsville Tigers as they routed Prosser Academy of Chicago 55-0 Saturday afternoon in a high school football game at the Stadium of Champions.
Offensively, the Tigers churned out 373 total yards while the defense held the Falcons (1-1) to only 83.

Bradley’s third scoring run came from 7 yards out with 7:11 to go in the half and he added the 78-yard interception return less than 2:00 later.
Not to be outdone by the offense and defense, the Tigers also scored with their special teams as Xzaivion Panapa returned a blocked punt 12 yards for a touchdown with 10:22 to go in the first quarter.
