While Trigg County’s 2025 football season ended with a 2-7 record, there were several entries into the program’s record book. We’ll tie up some loose ends from the season here.
Davaree Gude
Davaree Gude rushed for 1,300 yards and 23 touchdowns, becoming only the fifth Wildcat to have three 1,000-yard seasons, joining Greg Bridges (1987-89), Al Baker (1983-85), Brandon Bridges (2006-08), and Kelvin Grubbs (1994-95, 1997).
Gude ran for 1,354 yards last year and 1,094 yards in 2023.
He finishes his career with 3,950 rushing yards, good for fifth place on the school’s all-time list.
Gude also ran for 51 touchdowns in four seasons, tying Al Baker’s mark from 1981-85. Selby Grubbs tops the list with 58, followed by Greg Bridges with 53.
Peyton Williams
The career of Peyton Williams ended prematurely with an injury in the seventh game of the season against Mayfield.
Williams finished with 88 catches for 1,330 yards. His 88 catches rank sixth on the school’s list. Three more receptions would have seen him finish fourth.
His 1,330 yards rank seventh on the all-time list.
Williams also had 16 touchdowns, tying him with Prince Northington and Jamaal Boyd for fourth place on the all-time list.
Caden Scott
Sophomore quarterback Caden Scott completed 71 of 112 passes for 1,001 yards and eight touchdowns. It was the 31st time a Trigg County quarterback topped 1,000 yards. Scott missed two games due to injury.
Brody Calhoun
The Wildcat junior led the team in tackles for a third straight season. His 89 tackles were 21 more than second-place Deon Edison.
Calhoun also had 30 solo tackles, 7.75 tackles for loss, and 3.25 sacks.
In his three-year career, he has 245 tackles, 69 solo tackles, 18.75 tackles for loss, and 5.75 sacks.
Trigg County’s Offense
The Wildcats averaged 30.5 points per game – the most since 2022. It’s the fifth time in the past seven seasons that Trigg has topped 30 points.
Playing at Perdue Field
Trigg County only won one game at Perdue Field in 2025 – the season opener over Ohio County. It extended Trigg’s streak of at least one home win to 38 years.
Trigg’s 2026 schedule isn’t complete as the Wildcats will have to find a replacement for Hopkinsville. Their fifth home game (if they are able to schedule one) will be their 300th at Perdue Field, which opened in 1971.
Trigg County’s Defense
The Wildcats allowed 34.3 points in 2025, a five-point improvement from both 2023 and 2024.
However, it ranks ninth most for a season.
Four Points from 4-5
Trigg County dropped two games early in the season by one point in consecutive weeks. The 35-34 loss to Hart County and the 28-27 loss to Marshall County marked the first time Trigg lost one-point games in consecutive weeks.
It was the difference between a 2-7 season and a 4-5 season.
Hopkinsville and Christian County
Trigg County finished 2-18-1 all-time against Hopkinsville. Their two wins came in 2007 (24-17) and 2013 (41-35 in overtime).
Trigg was 0-9 all-time against the Tigers at Walnut Street Stadium and 1-1 at the Stadium of Champions. Trigg’s record against the Tigers in Cadiz was 1-9.
The first game was played in 1953. The 1960 game finished in a 6-6 tie.
Trigg County finished 8-15-1 all-time against Christian County. The last game played was in 2008, a 20-6 Wildcat loss at the Stadium of Champions.
Trigg was 4-8-1 against the Colonels. Their last win over the Colonels came in 1983 at Perdue Field. Christian County won the last nine games against the Wildcats.
Trigg County was 4-5 against the Colonels at Walnut Street Stadium and 0-2 at the Stadium of Champions.
The schools played to a 0-0 tie in 1962, one of three scoreless ties in school history. The other two were against Princeton Butler in 1940 and Attucks in 1954.
Hopkinsville and Christian County will combine to form one school in 2026

Ohio County – Won 54-0. No scorigami. That was the final score in a 1969 win over Crittenden County in 1969.
Hart County – Lost 35-34. No scorigami. It has happened twice before, the last time in 2022, in a win over Murray

Trigg County and the Playoffs
Trigg County has missed the playoffs for three straight seasons for the first time since the KHSAA expanded the postseason to include four teams from every district in 1992.
Trigg missed the postseason between state championship appearances from 1972 to 1989.
If Trigg County plays a 10-game schedule and makes the postseason in 2026, the opening round playoff game will be the 900th game in school history.
