Blast from the Past: Breaking News…@HerdFB has added the biggest bull @DarionDearinger, @HerdFB, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

We were very pleased to get to break this news. Darion Dearinger, who was our top rated DE in Kentucky, decided to sign with Marshall’s Thundering Herd. Dearinger was derailed by injuries outside of his control but he was poised to threaten to start as a freshman at Marshall and was almost sure to start sometime his sophomore season. We believe this guy was headed for the league. He is a wonderful young man, from a wonderful family, and his star shines mighty brightly regardless. Enjoy this blast from the past.

Friday Night Fletch.

Blast from the Past: Mike Holcomb, from @MCentral_FB, Wins No. 300! @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @MaxPreps

Coach Holcomb is a quirky, unique guy who deflects praise and criticism like its the Covid or the “Monkey Pocks.” However, “Old Holc” as we call him around the magazine has gone and accomplished something we aren’t willing to ignore. Congratulations Coach, from your friends at KPGFootball.

Blast from the past: @JohnCarterMyer1 from @scottie_glasgow is a ‘Football Player,’ from a football background. He has the ‘Scotties’ looking strong heading into the playoffs. @GlasgowDogPound @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @1776Bank @Gtown_Football

We wrote this article about John Carter Myers a few years ago. It was an HB Lyon piece about the son of a famous, high school football coach. John Carter was on a visit to Centre College when this was first penned. He ended up signing with Georgetown College where he is now a 6’2,” 210-pound linebacker. He gets plenty of play and makes plenty of plays. Looks like we hit the nail on the head here.

Friday Night Fletch.

Collins (2020) & Long (2021) are “Double-Trouble” for Breathitt Opponents…

June 25, 2024 Henry Lyon 2

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. Individually they are “CA Collins” and “William Long” but together they spell Double-Trouble for Breathitt opponents.

Owensboro (Sr.) High’s Austin Gough, Class of 2021, is the Independence Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week…

There is no better time than the present to anoint another Independence Bank player of the week. Independence Bank is proud to sponsor a weekly article highlighting players in the areas where Independence Bank flourishes who embody the same type of revolutionary service to their respective football teams which has made Independence Bank unique and special in the banking industry. This week’s recipient is a player who didn’t suit up last week, and we believe that to be a first for this particular award. Join us next week as we designate another worthy award winner.

Nikolas Tucker, and players like him, are how teams in Kentucky 5A go 13-1 in the first place. Interior DT’s who can slide out to DE don’t come around every day. Tucker is looking for a big senior year and we believe that is exactly what he is likely to experience. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Logan Rodgers from Hopkins County Central has been tearing it up around Kentucky since his Kentucky Future Stars days. He has one more tour of the high school landscape and his teammates and he plan to make the most of it. Enjoy this feature from Kentucky’s fastest growing financial institution; setting the standard for excellence in the financial services, Kentucky market. HB.

Ayier ‘AJ’ Coates from St. Xavier High is setting a tough pace for his class… @imfokused_aj @CoachKWallace @StXTigersFB @teeroyhowell @CoachRecruit @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @PrepSpin

This kid here has numbers, particularly in the weight room, which just sort of jump off the charts at the reader. He is crazy strong, crazy powerful, crazy explosive, and crazy young. Not even being a freshman could shelve him for the year. Wait until you see what this guy does over the next three years. Avoid the rush, get scared now! HB.

Davon Rudolph is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week… @TOP_SMOKE55 @D5Army @caleb_duckett @RedHawksRecruit @ZipsFB @CoachKi33UC @EKUFootball @RecruitTheHerd @Ballard_Bruins @BHSBRUINS @Coachmorton23

Davon “Smoke” Rudolph, ’24 from Ballard High, is bringing the SMOKE! This guy is a OLB/Nickle candidate who brings a ton to the table for college recruiters. That is probably why this kid will be ranked among Kentucky’s elite when the final rankings of the ’24 graduating class gets published. […]
