This week’s episode of Tiger Nation, hosted by Cayden Stacey and Aubrey Moore, brought Tiger fans up to speed on everything happening around Christian County High School — from student council elections to a jam-packed slate of fall sports action.
Student Council Elections Underway
Voting is officially open for student council representatives, and Tiger Nation featured candidates from every class making their case directly to their peers. From sophomores running for class president and vice president to seniors vying for treasurer, secretary, and reporter positions, the message from candidates was consistent: they want to be a voice for students who might otherwise go unheard. Ballots can be found in each student’s respective cohort class module, so Tigers are encouraged to review the candidates and make their voice heard before voting closes.
Rotary Club Book Drive
The Rotary Club’s Book Drive is in full swing, with students able to donate children’s books right outside their respective academies. As an added incentive, the academy that donates the most books will get a shoutout on a future episode of Tiger Nation — so there’s a little friendly academy pride on the line along with a good cause.
Mark Your Calendars: Fall Break and Homecoming
Fall break runs October 5th through October 9th, giving students a week to relax, recharge, and get ready for the second half of the semester. And when Tigers return from break, they won’t have long to wait for one of the year’s biggest events — the school’s first-ever fall Homecoming in the new building, set for October 16th. It’s a milestone moment for Christian County, and Tiger Nation is already encouraging students to bring their school spirit.
Community Corner
Beyond the halls of CCHS, there’s plenty happening around Hopkinsville. Kentucky Shakespeare brought a free performance of Much Ado About Nothing on Bethel Street, complete with food trucks and family activities. Meanwhile, the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library continues its weekly Epic Hour program, offering activities for kids from kindergarten through 12th grade every Tuesday evening.
Tiger Sports Report
Jayovontae Henderson and Eddie Davis broke down a busy week across multiple sports:
- Football had a difficult night on the road against sixth-ranked South Warren, falling 42-0. As Tiger Nation put it, every team has tough nights — what matters is the response, and the Tigers have spent the week preparing for what’s next.
- Boys’ Soccer shut out the Blazers in the first half before exploding for three second-half goals to win 3-0.
- Girls’ Soccer had a standout week, routing Lyon County 8-1 before doing it again with another 8-1 win over Franklin-Simpson on Senior Night — 16 goals across two games, capped by a memorable senior celebration.
- Volleyball continued its strong season with a four-set thriller over Heritage Christian Academy, winning three sets to one. The Lady Tigers now sit at 12-7 overall and a perfect 3-0 in District 8, alone in first place.
- Golf sent five Tigers to the regional tournament. Henry Riggs came agonizingly close to advancing, missing the cut by a single stroke.
Why We Test: Students Sound Off on MAP Testing
This week’s feature segment turned the microphone over to students themselves, asking how MAP testing helps track their growth throughout the year. The answers were thoughtful and consistent — students described MAP as a tool that shows them where they’re starting, where they need to improve, and how far they’ve come from one testing window to the next. Several students pointed out that seeing their scores motivates them to push harder on the next assessment, while others noted it helps teachers know exactly which skills to target during Tiger Time.
Behind the Scenes
None of it comes together without the crew working out of view of the camera. TanDre Davie ran the cameras for this week’s taping, and Phoenix Ross handled audio — the kind of work that makes every segment watchable but rarely gets its own moment in the spotlight.
