’29 three phase guy being groomed for the QB-slot
Aaden Bloomfield is the team’s leading passer. Aaden Bloomfield is the team’s leading rusher. Aaden Bloomfield is among the team’s leading scorers. There is one final thing about Aaden Bloomfield one needs to know. He is a ’27 kid with only one more year of eligibility left. After he departs to whom will the Lions turn? Ryan Wolfe is a choice. So is Tyson McCray. McCray is an unassuming looking, 5’8,” 160-pounder who lists his positions as QB/OLB. We didn’t see much varsity evidence of the QB-slot. The kid played the Heck out of OLB. Going forward this kid is a three phase dude, who plays at least two other varsity sports, and who is a way bigger high school stud athlete than he looks like he would be in pictures. It is always those guys who slip up on a team. Better watch out!
HB Lyon, Scouting Director, “KPGFootball”
Vanceburg, KY: We have discussed this phenomenon many times. All teams, regardless of how much they may have struggled, has that one player which makes you go back at night’s end and think, “I would have liked to have had him.” Ask any coach.
The Lewis County Lions struggled in 2025. They were winless, missed the playoffs, and could boast of a one-score loss to Bath County as its high water mark on the year.
Coach Stamm was frustrated. His staff and he have vowed to continue the fight.
There was a bright spot. There was freshman Tyson McCray.
McCray is an unassuming looking guy. McCray is 5’8,” and weighs anywhere from 160-165-pounds.
In spite of this, the kid balled out in 2025. Matter of fact, he is quite the high school, multi-sport, varsity athlete.
McCray plays anywhere from shooting guard to forward on the basketball team. McCray is on the track & field team.
McCray’s play was a real bright spot for the 0-10 Lions in 2025

The money sport is football. McCray’s performance in 2025, especially for a freshman, was quite remarkable.
McCray contributed in all three phases, and played in all 10-varsity games, for the Lions in 2025. McCray was a fixture on the return and coverage units. McCray logged a handful of carries from scrimmage (13), caught a parcel of passes (5), and contributed mightily on defense.
Defensively, McCray registered 27-tackles. McCray registered a pair of sacks. McCray registered a pair of INTs, and accumulated 55-IRNYs as a freshman.
While Lewis County struggled, the Lions play in the same district as Russell (10-3) and East Carter (7-4). That level of production, out of a freshman, with little going on around him is both noteworthy and remarkable.
Not a ton of freshmen hit the Friday Night Field in 3A, District 6. What McCray got done in ’25 is impressive.
No telling what this kid might do when he fully, physically matures. Won’t that be fun to monitor.
We believe this kid will have quite the year over his sophomore season. He is a kid around whom a struggling program can build. In a lot of ways, his development and the team’s development is tied together.
Go get ’em, killer!
