Here are copies of the schedules for 2023 PTHS Baseball and Softball. Go Big Blue!
Murray State University School of Engineering hosted approximately 500 students across 14 high schools on Thursday, March 2 for Engineering Day 2023. Nineteen students from Paducah Tilghman took part in the competition.
The competition was a series of science, technology, engineering and math-centered challenges designed to teach engineering and construction concepts under the direction of Murray State faculty and staff.
Students competed in fifteen events across campus, including kayak construction, survival structure building, engineering design, and a CO2 car race.
Bennett Wilke and Brooke Larimer won first and third in the C02 car competition.
If you drive by the new Paducah Head Start construction near Paducah Tilghman, you can see the structural steel that is being installed for a multipurpose gymnasium and indoor practice facility. The gym will serve our Head Start students during the school day, and then our athletic teams will use it as an indoor training facility after school hours.
Tilghman senior Kendra Johnston placed sixth at the 2023 USA Wrestling Girls Folkstyle Nationals held in Omaha, Nebraska March 3-5. Kendra defeated multiple nationally ranked wrestlers on her way to the podium and was named an All American for the second time. Congratulations!

In the current edition of Paducah Life Magazine, read about the many stellar moments which have been part of the storied tradition of Paducah Tilghman’s football and basketball programs.
After an 88-52 victory over Meridian, Illinois, Paducah Tilghman High School cemented itself among the elite high school programs in not just the state, but
the entire nation. Not only did Tilghman tally their 2,000th program win in basketball—the second team in the state to achieve this number—but they are the first high school out of the roughly 21,000 in the nation to log a combined 2,000 wins in basketball and 800 wins in football.
Both programs have had their fair share of shining moments since the school’s opening in 1900. The school won state championships in football in 1973, 1985, and 2009, and were state runners-up in basketball twice thanks to a plethora of talented players and coaches who have represented the Blue Tornado.
With the history of the Tilghman athletic program spanning over 120 years, our student writer, Haddon Shively, wanted to hear some of the most notable moments and experiences that were forever embedded in the memories of former players and coaches. And that’s what he achieved.
