Both University Heights Academy and Hopkinsville were coming off tough weekends in the Boots and Butts Classic. And how did they get to start the brand new week? They got to face off against each other in a key 8th District matchup Monday night at the Stadium of Champions.
The Blazers got a goal from Connor Dill just over halfway through the first half to take a 1-0 lead.
A second-half goal from Preston Thomas extended the lead to 2-0 and it appeared like the Blazers were in firm control.
Things tightened back up when Will Knight scored for Hopkinsville to cut the Blazer lead to 2-1. But, that would be the end of the rally for the Tigers as UHA held on to take the win.
UHA returns to action Tuesday night as they travel to Fort Campbell for another 8th District matchup.
Hoptown hits the road Tuesday night to take on Madisonville-North Hopkins.
