Talk about versatile. This guy a run with it, catch it (on either side of the scrimmage line), and is a real threat on special teams as a returner. He’s a standout on the diamond as well as the gridiron and that 3.8 GPA is looking right stellar as well. Enjoy this feature about one of Warren East’s finest. FL.

This guy is a ’23. Yeah, I know this time of year we should be focusing on ’24’s and later. However, we badly missed on covering this guy when he was still a high schooler and he is going to play collegiately for Coach Luttrell at Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky and they are a team we cover. So anyway, here is the Revolutionary Player of the Week. FL.

Jack Long has had an incredible offseason. He has flourished in the weight room particularly at Power lifting meets where his incredible strength visa vie his size has astounded onlookers at every turn. We think this ’27 prospect is going to have a tremendous high school career and there is literally no telling how his frame finishes. Enjoy the feature.

This guy is a subscriber to the 3-F’s…Faith, Family, and Football. With his frame and the way he plays football, we would expect this ’24 C/LS to get to play plenty more football at whatever level he should choose. He has plenty of schools on him already and, with his […]

Say Hay, Ben Fay! Connor High has a class leader among the rising seniors @Ben_Fay24 @minguabeefjerky @TPRecruitingBB @1776Bank @RedHawksRecruit @HopkinCentral @CoachMaccc @evans02_mike @HawaiiTikiBowl @_CoachManning @PrepSpin @MaxPreps @KyHighFootball

Fay is a kid who plays football and basketball, but correctly, realizes his more definitive future in athletics is on the grid iron as opposed to the hardwood. This is a hard thing to argue to any Kentucky kid. Fay has a long, tall frame and has exhibited fine production on the field under the lights. He has some impressive courters presently with more circling. Enjoy the feature. FL.

His name is William Carrico. His nickname is Tutt. We don’t know from where Tutt came but are sure it is one whale of a story. Regardless, Tutt is the King of the Aces’ and quite the baller for a program among the very elite football programs on the western end of Kentucky at any level of competition. Enjoy the feature. FL.

We are charged with finding and celebrating the same type excellence on the gridiron which has made Independence Bank a revolutionary in the financial services market and the fastest growing bank in the commonwealth of Kentucky. We feel we have done that here with a freshman phenom playing in the county where we have opened our most recent branch, Shelbyville, Kentucky. Enjoy the feature. FL.

Isaac Earl, QB for The Storm, looks as though it is his job to lose- @_CoachManning @evans02_mike @HopkinsCentral @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @PrepSpin

This week we feature a kid who was pressed into duty a year ago and, under the circumstances, performed admirably. Isaac Earl is much more of a known commodity entering the sophomore year playing for a staff which consistently develops very good QB’s. What will Earl do this coming year? This feature should explain it. FL
