West struggles in season ending loss to Hardin Valley

Morristown West’s Hunter Hicks (13) and Zander Ward (48) attempt to tackle Hardin Valley’s Kelton Gunn (1) Friday night.

It was a record-breaking night for Hardin Valley, but one that Morristown West wanted no part in helping set. The Hawks set a new school mark for points scored in a 63-14 win over the Trojans at Burke-Toney Stadium Friday night.

For Morristown West (1-9), the loss completed a nine-game losing streak, the only time in school history that the team has recorded nine official losses in a single season. The team lost nine games in 1971, but got a victory back due to an Oak Ridge forfeit. It was a tough way to end the year on Senior Night. The 63 points ties a record for the most surrendered by the Trojans. They gave up 63 to Jefferson County in 2013 and to Knox Catholic in 2016, but that game was also forfeited due to the Fighting Irish fielding an ineligible player.
