Union County has really been a force with which to reckon over the past few seasons. It seems the Braves are in the title hunt in 3A, and in one of 3A’s toughest districts (District 1), annually. Having players like Kris Hughes certainly doesn’t hurt matters. You wait until you see what the young man did this past Friday night. Enjoy the feature and don’t forget to pick up a bag of your favorite Mingua Beef Jerky and #SavortheFlavor! HB.

He is a transfer from 4A Hopkinsville High School. With the struggles Hoptown has experienced with QB play, and with the efficiency this young ’25 QB has displayed, don’t you imagine the transfer of this particular player to Woodford County is all the more painful? Enjoy this look at a player whose candidacy for the ’25 graduating class’s “Mr. Football” award is looking all the more legitimate, week after week. HB.

Cade Sullivan, ‘The Berea Blast,’ may be the best athlete in the ’23 class… @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @mshsfb_eagles @Mshs_Eagles_

We have followed Cade Sullivan since his being one of Kentucky’s finest coming out of its middle school ranks. He has been a superstar in HS too, just on a team which has struggled which impacts many players who find themselves so situated. This kid is drawing D-1 looks and has D-1 speed. We would call him an athlete. Read this article and let us know what you would call him. HB.

Centre’s Defense Saves the Day, Colonels push record to 3-1 with road win over Rhodes, Sewanee has ‘Next.’ @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @CentreFootball

October 2, 2022 Henry Lyon 3

The Centre Colonels raised its record to 3-1 with a road loss to a very good Trine team its only blemish. Still, proponents of offensive football have to be concerned with how Centre is performing as the team just keeps imploding offensively. Can the defense continue to carry the ball club into the winner’s circle? Well, that is the $64 question, no isn’t it? HB.

What the heck is a Greenwood Gator and why the heck are they tearing up 5A, District-Two? @GHSGatorSports @gwgatornation @GHSGatorFball @GWoodFootball @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @PrepSpin

Just who do these Greenwood Gators think they are? Well, Class 5A title contenders if the Gators’ performance to date means anything at all. The Gators have played a meaty and tough schedule with a brutal closing stretch upcoming but many around Warren County believe they have the recipe for upsetting some folks around the 2nd district. For now, the Gators are ranked in the AP, top 10, and sitting at 6-1 on the year. Enjoy this look at a hot, up and coming, football team. HB.

Markezz Hightower is the @1776Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week. @MNHHS_Football @ArnettKohl @All_American_Me @MaroonAthls @minguabeefjerky @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @kyhighs @HLpreps @PrepSpin #Brotherhood

Markezz Hightower is probably the best RB in Kentucky in the ’26 class. He comes from a line of RB’s we have featured and who have also won MVP in the Kentucky-Tennessee Future Stars Classic. Markezz is the little brother of Jeriah Hightower, who we covered ad nauseam when he was a prep RB for the Maroons before his moving on to play for EKU. Get on by one of our fine branches today and discover why Independence Bank’s people, products, and services have started a revolution in the Kentucky financial services industry. HB.

We got online to write an altogether different feature than we ended up publishing. It is similar to catching a well hit line drive at a fielder’s head the fielder had little choice but to catch. Enjoy this feature about a player different from the one on whom we first intended to report. HB.

Ethan Jarvis from Prestonsburg is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the week. @BlackcatFB @nsporter13 @BarstoolBlackc1 @ejarvis_18 @1776Bank @KyHighFootball @PrepSpin @MaxPreps @kyhighs @HLpreps

Prestonsburg was really struggling just a few seasons back. They are struggling no more. The Blackcats are rolling with some of the best talent Floyd County has seen in some time. This week’s Protein-packed Performer is proving he may well be the very best RB in the Kentucky Appalachia mountains. Don’t forget to pick up a few bags of our one-of-a-kind beef jerky products whenever you can and wherever you happen to find yourself. Also don’t forget to #savortheflavor! Enjoy this feature. HB.

RB, Ethan Gregory (’24), from North Laurel is blazing a difficult trail for future backs to follow. @NLJAGSFOOTBALL @Egregory3222 @minguabeefjerky @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @PrepSpin @1776Bank @BoysGirls13th @CoachDerekDay

It is the midway point of the ’22 season. This is a junior RB we forecast would have a big year back before the season commenced. It is time for us to take stock of this prediction. Well, Gregory hasn’t let us down in the least. He is having a wonderful season and, should he keep it up, looks poised to take the Jaguars to unprecedented heights as a football program. Enjoy the feature. HB.
