Flint the strongest HS player we have ever seen
When you publicize a high school sophomore, in the winter of his second year in high school, repping out 405-pounds an astounding eight (8) times, you are bound to draw some attention your program’s way. That is exactly what Scott County High’s Jim McKee did. We have seen the video. We were struck mute by it. Lucas Flint promises to be a handful to have to handle for Scott County opponents this coming Fall. Flint worked mostly at NG as a sophomore and that is a difficult slot to register statistics. Flint was drawing all kinds of double and even triple teams. We believe he could play along the interior of the offensive line too. Needless to say, we like this kid.

Big Ass Fans from Lexington, Kentucky has a simple corporate goal. The company is “creating a more comfortable world,” one fan at a time.
The logo is the rear of a donkey (Fanny) swishing its tail back and forth. The trademarked logo is among Kentucky’s more celebrated and well known corporate identities across the commonwealth and has come to represent commitment to quality, cutting-edge innovation, and product reliability.
Big Ass Fans is so much more than just a gigantic fan. It is gigantic quality, gigantic performance, and a gigantic commitment to reliability and innovation. Its size is far from the only selling point about our product. Our product is a Kentucky Comfort Creator…and, these days, isn’t that exactly what Kentucky needs?
This week’s Kentucky Comfort Creator is Scott County High’s NG Lucas Flint. Flint is a ’28 kid who is quite possibly the strongest high school kid we have ever seen playing football in the KHSAA and there have been some dudes through the years.
Flint plays for one of 5As more storied and successful programs in Scott County High. Flint also plays for one of the KHSAA’s better head football coaches in Jim McKee. That combination is a recipe for success.

Friday Night Fletch, “KPGFootball”
Georgetown, KY: I have no idea how an offensive center in high school is supposed to block this guy. We have seen video of Lucas Flint, who we have before featured, pressing 405-pounds, eight (8) reps. See it for yourself.
We have seen high school kids bench press that amount of weight and, in the case of DC Boone from Owensboro Apollo, even more. We have never seen a sophomore rep that amount of weight nearly ten reps. That is mind boggling.
This isn’t our first time featuring this particular football player. Matter of fact, Flint has before won this particular distinction, right here, nearly a year ago (June/2005). Here is a link to that article.
Flint had quite the sophomore season. First and foremost, he got PT in all of Scott County’s 13-games.
Scott County had a strong ’25 and looks to have an even better ’26 season upcoming. Nine wins against four losses with a one-score loss to Woodford on the road and a two score loss to Woodford in the playoffs and Highlands to end the regular season is top-notch work for any program at the high end of Kentucky’s second largest classification.
Scott County has some pieces returning. Leading rusher Skyler Way (’27) returns as does one of Kentucky’s speedier, more versatile weapons, Timmy Emongo (’27).
The Flyers were in Lexington, KY playing for a 4A title when the dust settled on the ’25 season

Charlie Ellison, a class mate of Flints (’28), returns with his 20-TD passes, nearly 60% completion rate, and close to 7:1 TD to INT ratio. Scott County returns its top four tacklers, and 13 of its 14 INTs from last season’s defense.
As long as you have Jim McKee coaching your ball club, you will be in the hunt. The last 30 or so years has taught us that fact.
Either way, the point is fairly made. Flint is strong. Flint is powerful. Flint is explosive and twitchy. Flint is darn good at football. Flint is the consummate, young nose guard who could play on either side next level.
Flint had one of the better sophomore seasons we have seen at the 5A, championship-contending level. Flint registered 23-tackles, a TFL, and shut down the A-Gap for any hope or prospect of inside offensive production.
That is fantastic production from a sophomore, nose guard. The scary thing is Flint is only going to get better (stronger and more powerful) as he continues to mature, fill out, strengthen, and lengthen.
The next progression for this prospect is similar to lots of phenoms across Kentucky. Flint needs to play more down hill, attacking ball carriers, by gapping and penetrating into the offensive backfield as opposed to just plugging gaps. When Flint adds down-hill to his game-play; his TFLs, sacks, FFs, and FRs will all exponentially increase.
For now, Flint is one of the best in Kentucky at his stage of development where he deploys. We are excited to see what he does as a junior. We bet we aren’t the only ones in the Cardinals fan club to feel this way.
Keep your eyes peeled on this guy. Then again, what do we know?
