At KPGFootball, we just can’t think of Rockcastle County’s high school football team without thinking of Deputy Barney Fife, from the Andy Griffith Show, launching into his speech to inmates in the Mayberry County Jail which seemingly always began with, “Here at the Rock…” The boys from Mt. Vernon, Kentucky will hit you like an inmate pounding a rock with a sledge-hammer. Here’s a look at the Rockcastle Rockets and where they figure to be, personnel-wise, heading into 2019’s season.

A lot of people questioned the legitimacy of our Class 5A poll because we didn’t have Montgomery County’s Indians among the top-ten teams. The mild uproar was understandable as Egli’s Indians have scalped 19 of the previous 25 opponents over the 2017 & 2018 seasons. Players like Adam McCune, and his brother Luke before him, are just two among many reasons for the run. No one should be surprised when a player with the surname “McCune” turns out to be a fantastic high school player. Heck, it’s a family tradition.

We are always looking for undiscovered talent. We search far and wide to deliver to our readers news of players who are often undiscovered and under-covered until we come along. Well we believe we have done it again with Chanse McKenzie. We believe McKenzie will have a monster year for the Commodores and solidify his hold over the QB position offensively as well as contribute more meaningfully to the defense at LB. Enjoy this article.
