GEORGETOWN, Ky. (WKYT) - Brandon Burgess threw for 193 yards and a score to lead Georgetown College to a 27-17 homecoming win on Saturday over Thomas More.

Burgess, a senior from Seymore, Tenn., completed 12 of 25 passes, including a 73-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Hughes in the third quarter, which gave the Tigers a 24-10 lead.

Hughes caught two passes on the day for 115 yards, both for touchdowns. Hughes’ first score came on a trick play -- wide receiver Aaron Maggard took a pitch, then found Hughes on a 42-yard touchdown.
