’26 RB rushed for 346-yards and broke the school record against Ft. Campbell
We have before written about Davaree Gude. Matter of fact, quite a few times. Here’s one such article where we discuss his being among the best RB’s on the western end of the commonwealth. Gude did something this past Friday night even we couldn’t have foreseen. Gude eclipsed Kelsey Parham’s single game rushing record, set in 2022, of 307-yards by gaining 346-yards of his own against the Fort Campbell Falcons. Efforts like these should be celebrated. Matter of fact, one might say he played mighty “Gude.”

Cadiz, KY: Davaree Gude did a few things, Friday night against Fort Campbell, one doesn’t do every day.
First, Gude led his team to its second win of the season against one defeat. Second, Gude rushed for 346-yards. Third, Gude broke his school’s, single-game, rushing record; passing two “All-timers” in the process. That is a fantastic triple-play.
Gude, a 6’0,” 220-pound, ’26 RB, passed Kelsey Parham’s single game record of 307-yards rushing. Parham had set the mark in 2022 against Larue County; and, in so doing, eclipsed Al-Baker’s single game mark of 306 yards. Baker had posted the 306-yard standard in a 1984 win over Marshall County.
It is believed Gude, Parham, and Baker are the only three Trigg County Wildcats to ever rush for more than 300-yards in a single game. I can’t speak for you, but that appears to me to be pretty fast company Gude finds himself both keeping and even besting.
One might say being talked about around Trigg County in the same breath as Kelsey Parham, and particularly Al Baker, is pretty Gude. Perhaps we should be punished for having written that last sentence.
Gude ran for 76-yards on the game’s first play. Seventy-six (76) yard carries from scrimmage are mighty Gude.
Fast starts are also Gude. While weighing 220-pounds, Gude still has been clocked at 4.60-seconds in the 40-yard dash. That is pretty Gude.
Without the penalties, the Wildcats could have run the clock on the Falcons
Dan Goble, HOF Football Coach
We interviewed Hall of Fame football coach, Dan Goble, who monitored the game for the magazine. Coach Goble told KPGFootball, “While the final score was Trigg 35, Ft. Campbell 26; the nine-point margin was a bit deceptive.”
Goble continued, “There is an argument to be made the Wildcats could have run the clock but for well over 100-yards in penalties. Two penalties allowed the Falcons to maintain possession while a third penalty directly led to a Falcon score.”
We asked if there was any other thing of note to transpire in Cadiz on Friday night. Goble told KPGFootball, “Yessir, freshman Caden Scott threw for his first TD. Overall, it was a fun game to watch and the film gives the staff plenty of issues to clear up going forward over the remainder of the season.”
Sounds to us like Coach Goble thinks these Wildcats can clean up some issues and continue to improve. Wouldn’t that be Gude?
Fort Campbell braces to play a Madisonville-North Hopkins team which is one of the better teams in the entire commonwealth this year. Trigg County gets ready for Russellville, looking to run its record to 3-1 should they be able to survive the trek.
One thing appears certain; the Wildcats are looking dad-burn Gude at RB. Having Gude RBs generally insures a program quite a few wins.
