On a cool November night under the fading glow of the stadium lights, the Hopkinsville Tigers took the field for the final time in program history, facing a tough South Warren squad in the opening round of the playoffs. From the opening kick, the Tigers played with heart, grit, and the unmistakable pride that has defined Hopkinsville football for generations.
South Warren controlled much of the game’s momentum, ultimately securing the win, but the scoreboard only told part of the story. Hopkinsville’s defense delivered several strong stands, and the Tigers’ offense—backed by pure determination—fought for every yard. Seniors stepped up in their last outing, showing leadership and resolve as they battled to the final whistle.
Tonight wasn’t just another game. It was the closing chapter of a legacy that has spanned decades—a program that shaped athletes, built leaders, and united an entire community. As the clock ran out, players embraced on the field, coaches gathered their final huddle, and fans stood together one more time, honoring the black and orange.
While the run ends here, the impact of Hopkinsville Tigers Football will continue in the memories, traditions, and lifelong lessons it leaves behind. Tigers Then, Tigers Now, Tigers Forever.
