The two players we are featuring together in this article are two guys who both relocated to Jackson, Kentucky (as luck would have it) during this summer. Both of their parents found employment in the area and uprooted their respective families. The Collins family has long-standing ties to Breathitt County High School as the Collins boys prior to CA Collins all played at Breathitt. The Longs had never been to Jackson, Kentucky before finding employment in the area and deciding to locate there. It has worked out swimmingly for a team which no media outlet predicted would do much in 2019 but which is absolutely killing it with considerable contribution from the two guys who have (naturally) bonded.

It’s football…not a track meet and not a fashion show!
How does a Georgia State beat a Tennessee in Knoxville and not just beat the Volunteers, but dominate them? Well, it starts by requiring the coaching staff to select the team’s roster and not out-sourcing it to some recruiting service which is assigning stars to the players they find the prettiest and most statuesque. Football isn’t a track meet or a fashion show, it is about blocking, tackling, running between the tackles, getting down hill, and other things unrelated to how one looks. It is a contact sport played by tough guys. We used to know that, and at Georgia State, they appear to still know it.

As scrimmages conclude, and the season looms, how much significance should we apportion any scrimmage outcome? (Featured Photograph: Emily Ball/Bluefield Daily Telegraph)
Scrimmage results are flying across chat rooms, newspaper headlines, and blogs all over the commonwealth of Kentucky. The winners believe it is a credible forecast of success, the losers either believe the team was trying to “not show too much” or it is a forecast of a forthcoming “long year.” Well, truthfully, neither is true. Enjoy this article about scrimmages and why the outcome shouldn’t either dampen or intensify your seasonal expectations.

We have heard thunder only happens when it is raining. We have also heard where there is thunder there is also lightening. Well, opponents of Caudill Middle School have been experiencing some terrible weather over the past three seasons. The two backs we have featured today, Kenyatta “Thunder” Hodge and Brady “Lightening” Hensley, are the most dynamic and productive backfield in Kentucky’s Class of 2024. Enjoy the article. HB.

Grayson’s offer, which was in the mail the whole time, was finally delivered…Grayson Cook offered by Air Force
You know what we encounter at KPGFootball too many times? Parents inordinately anxious about whether their son will be offered a football scholarship. We have talked to many a father on the brink of despair. For some of these fathers, their level of anxiety is both unwarranted and, frankly, ridiculous, if we are being completely honest. Let this article be a lesson to every Kentucky prospect our there with the dream of playing on Saturdays. You keep handling the parts

Preston Spurlock, Class of 2021, Leslie County’s hit-man (Featured Photo: Larry Robinson, BSN)
Preston Spurlock is one of our favorite players commonwealth-wide and someone we have selected to our All-State team two straight years. He is someone for whom opposing coaches have to plan to contain. Failure to game-plan him is costly. We call him around the Magazine either the Mountain Hit-Machine, or the Leslie County Hit-Man. Yeah, we’re pretty clever. Enjoy this article which will fully explain the high regard in which we hold this guy who will play on Saturdays should

Devin Kilgore, Class of 2020, Caldwell County HS
There is a player listed on the Caldwell roster as wearing No. 63 and slotted at both offensive center and defensive end. This guy doesn’t exist within the public record outside of being awarded the Farmers Bank “Player of the Week” on YourSportsEdge.com. We hope we aren’t being “Cat-fished” here; but, if we aren’t, and if there is such a person who played as well as the 2018 stats indicate, he has to be considered one of the best DEs

Anthony “Nino” White has a plan for Atherton’s rise to prominence
KPGFootball was able to catch up and interview our friend, Anthony White, about his plans for the Atherton football program. This upcoming football season will be his first at the Rebel helm. Of course, we know White by his nickname “Nino” like virtually all of the Louisville area and the Team Kentucky fraternity. We also know him to be a winner. There are bright days ahead for this program. Enjoy this article.

Anthony Johns is a bull rumbling at the head of the herd
At KPGFootball we admire the players who kind of have to work for stardom and then do. Anthony Johns has a good frame which appears likely to still be lengthening but his is not the best OL frame we have seen. However, his attention and dedication to strengthening, conditioning, and doing even the little things the right way is among the best we have seen. There aren’t any players in the Class of 2022 which work any harder than this

Braxton O’Hara, Class of 2021, a dual threat guy causing headaches for defenses all over the Mountains
Folks, the Bobcats are rounding back into the most fearsome team on most people’s schedule and have the chance to be really special in 2019. Braxton O’Hara is just one of the reasons. This is a team which we believe will run the regular season table in 2019. Should they be able to get by Leslie County twice, and handle Beechwood High School and CAL, this may be Mayfield’s opponent at Kroger Field with a title on the line. Remember
