The shutout is Hopkinsville’s third of the season, and the tie snaps a stretch of five straight games of alternating wins and losses for the Tigers (7-4-1).
For Marshall County (10-2-2), it was their second tie in three matches and first 0-0 contest in nine seasons.
Hopkinsville will play at Henderson County Tuesday in a showdown of the top two teams in the region. The Tigers haven’t lost to a region team in 40 straight matches which includes three ties.
