University of Louisville president Gerry Bradley and members of his leadership team visited Paducah Tilghman and the Paducah Innovation Hub to meet with faculty and staff and take a tour. It was a special treat to welcome 2026 PTHS Hall of Fame inductee Dr. Jeffrey Bumpous, who serves the university as Executive Vice President for Health Affairs and Dean of the School of Medicine.
We appreciate the recent donation of a cello by the estate of Charles Roy Manchester. The cello was presented to strings instructor Daniel Thomas by Mr. Manchester’s niece, Cathy Hart, and her husband Mark on August 10.
Mr. Manchester, a Tilghman alumnus, was a public-school orchestra teacher and symphony manager for 20 years in Mobile, Alabama. Upon returning to Paducah in 1981, he was Executive Director of the Downtown Development Association for three years, then served simultaneously as Executive Director of the Market House Museum and General Manager of the Paducah Symphony Orchestra for fifteen years and continued with the symphony until his retirement in 2000. He then continued with the Symphony in other roles until 2008. He maintained a private cello studio for over 50 years.
“We’re very appreciative of the donation from Mr. Manchester and the Harts,” said strings instructor Daniel Thomas. “We have a big sixth grade class of about 45 (students), so there will plenty of opportunities for this cello to be used.”

On Tuesday, August 5, the Tornado and Lady Tornado golfers competed in the 2A Sectional 1 Qualifier and turned in outstanding performances.
For the third consecutive year, Senior Captain McCall Moore captured the overall individual girl's championship with an impressive round of 75. With that performance, she earned her place at the 2A State Tournament in Owensboro as the Section 1 representative.
Senior Captain Gray Edwards battled hard but came up just short after a three-person playoff for the boys’ individual state berth.
Both teams performed exceptionally well. The boys shot a 331 to finish as the 2A Sectional 1 team runner-up. Gray Edwards led the way, while Sophomore Liam Stewart and Junior Axl Young each earned top 10 finishes. 7th grader Benji Johnson and Senior Anderson Ballert also contributed valuable scores to help the team secure the result. The boys team has already secured two top 4 finishes this season.
The girls posted their best team score in several years, narrowly missing the runner-up trophy by just two strokes. This marks the team’s second third-place finish of the season, a strong showing for such a young group.
Senior McCall Moore led the way, with Freshman Anna Wood earning her first top 10 finish of the season. 7th grader Addi Wood recorded her best performance of the year with a 13th-place finish, while Junior Story Hobbs and Senior Claire Tucker were also key contributors for the Lady Tornado.
