Newport Central Catholic are annually in the hunt for the 1A crown, or so it seems. Having talent on hand the likes of Demetrick Welch Jr. is a good place to begin any title trek. Enjoy this look at a player who played very well Thursday night for his team. HB.

We search far and wide to bring you the players who have revolutionized the performance of the team in the communities we serve. We also enjoy recognizing superior branches in the Independence Bank family. This week we recognize a sophomore QB at Caldwelll County High School in Princeton, Kentucky and our famous branch located at 211 Alt US-41 in Providence, Kentucky just down the road from Caldwell County High’s campus. Get on by and discover why Independence Bank’s people, products, and services have started a revolution in the financial services market in the commonwealth of Kentucky. HB.

Mountain Musical Chairs…mountain football prospects move from school to school. @kizer_slone @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @1776Bank @MaxPreps @EliteZoneShow @BGSportsNation @HLpreps

It is called Mountain Musical Chairs. Each year some of the mountain’s finest football talent moves from school to school. It is accepted, rarely bad-mouthed, and frankly just a way of life around the Appalachia region. Ask Belfry how many of its former superstar players were from over the West Virginia state line for instance. Well the three prospects pictured above, Kizer Alone, Landon Smith, and Ethan Combs, all played for Knott County a year ago. This year, zero for three…c’est la vie!

This week, our Protein-packed Performer is a head football coach, Middlesboro High’s Larry French! @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MBORO_FOOTBALL @barstoolmboro

We believe this is the first time we have awarded the Jerky Prize package to a head football coach. Well, it isn’t exactly everyday some head football coach celebrates his 350th win. There have only been two others in HS history in Kentucky to have had such a celebration, Phillip Haywood and Dudley Hilton. Enjoy this feature about a tremendous football coach who appears headed straight to the HOF. 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! HB.

The Storm have hit the ‘Mother Load’ with McNary and he’s running through defenses like ‘a bull in a china shop.’ @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @Yfnmcnary @KYFUTURESTARS @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @PrepSpin @MaxPreps @HLpreps

We have been covering Calil McNary for years. He was a 3X Kentucky Future Star. You will find those guys almost always end up HS stars too. That is certainly the case with McNary, as he has his team sitting pretty through its first three games (2-1) with Todd County calling this coming Friday night. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Centre Football escapes Indiana 1-0, beats Hanover 31-29. Maryville College calls, ‘Next!’ @CentreFootball @HanoverFTBL @MCScotsFootball @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank

Centre escaped Hanover, Indiana with a win. That was about as positive as we can be about a performance which gives us plenty of mistakes to study and correct. Coaches say teams experience the most growth between the first and second games, particularly in college football. Colonel fans must “pray” that rings true or we may not be as lucky outcome wise as we were with the Panthers in Indiana. Enjoy the scout. HB.

Murray High’s Collin Wilson VEERing his way to pay dirt! @_CollinWilson_ @XnOSports @RJWilson55 @Mekhi33397990 @RowdySokolowski @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @PrepSpin

Coach Herman Boone, in the hit movie, “Remember the Titans,” once called the split veer offense like novocaine. He went on to say he only ran six plays but that the offense always worked. We can’t vouch for the six play thing, as we believe Coach Bowling’s version of the veer is more advanced than what Coach Boone ran in the early 70s at T.C. Williams High. We can vouch for it always working especially with Collin Wilson pulling the trigger for the Tigers. Enjoy the feature. HB.

We search far and wide to bring you the players who have revolutionized the performance of the team in the communities we serve. We also enjoy recognizing superior branches in the Independence Bank family. This week we recognize a senior WR at North-Hopkins High School in Madisonville, Kentucky and our famous branch located at “East Center” just down the road from North-Hopkins High’s campus. Get on by and discover why Independence Bank’s people, products, and services have started a revolution in the financial services market in the commonwealth of Kentucky. HB.

We have been on this young man for quite a while. We first wrote about him when he traveled to Dallas, TX for a middle school All-American game. He has not disappointed since. Enjoy this look at a senior RB from Owensboro Senior. HB.
