Aug. 20—CLARKSVILLE — Providence beat Bardstown (Ky.) Bethlehem 48-36 in the season-opener for both Friday night at Murphy Stadium.

The Eagles, one of the top teams in Kentucky's smallest classification, took an early 6-0 lead before the Pioneers answered with a scoring march that ended with Carter Lannan's 1-yard touchdown pass to Brian Wall. Charlie Scott's point-after touchdown kick made it 7-6.

Providence increased its lead to 14-6 when Lannan connected with Wall again, this time for an 87-yard TD with 41 seconds left in the first quarter.

The game was back-and-forth from there.

The Pioneers (1-0) are off next Friday before hosting Lloyd Memorial (Ky.) on Sept. 2.
