Several small colleges had big, big days on the first Wednesday in February. For instance, Georgetown and UPike both signed tremendous, Kentucky-laden classes. However, none of the small colleges around Kentucky have the nationwide reach and appeal of Centre College. The Colonels dipped into the lone-star state to gain the commitment from a talented Texan with the skills to make the competition around the SAA stand up and take notice. Enjoy the feature. HB.

It is hard to get on the field as a freshman. When you play for one of Kentucky’s more storied programs, regardless of classification, it can be THAT much harder. This week’s Protein-packed Performer made his limited appearances count for his team. Enjoy this feature about this very fine freshman and don’t forget to #Savortheflavor. HB

We have been featuring quite a few young ball players from London, KY’s North Laurel High. Some of you may be wondering why? It isn’t as if the Jaguars have been owning the 5A classification (6-6 in ’22). However, this team has some really nice talent coming down the pipelines and their days of hanging around .500 seems numbered. HB.

If you are picking early favorites for next season’s ‘Mr. Football,’ this guy here would seem as safe a bet as any. He is very versatile, running for over a thousand yards in 13-games and catching nearly 30-footballs swinging out of the backfield. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Patrick Carr is a bright, shining example of how an athlete will always find a way to succeed. Patrick plays TE, punts, and place kicks. He plays football, soccer, and basketball. He is among the more polished and sought after TE’s in Kentucky’s ’25 class of prospects and he is (of course) our Revolutionary Player of the Week. Enjoy this feature from Kentucky’s fastest growing financial institution; setting the standard for excellence in the financial services, Kentucky market. HB.

’26 RB/DB had promising year; will make huge strides next season Cooper Robinson was among the more physically gifted 9th graders playing 5A football across Kentucky over the ’22 season. He gained 9-games of action as a freshman which, standing alone, is quite an accomplishment. This player is only going […]

Demauriah Brown from Danville High has just completed a sophomore football season which would have landed hm on our sophomore all-state football team were we still compiling one. As it is, his performance should net consideration for him for the AP team, whose nominations should open any time. Enjoy this feature about this very fine sophomore RB/DB/Ath and don’t forget to #Savortheflavor. HB

Chase Couch is screaming off the edge and impressing suitors along the way… @TimCouchQB @ParkerChaney9 @report_kentucky @TVStudioGrrrl @1bad12bad @TheCatsPause247 @Chase41_sc @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @HLPreps @kyhighs @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball

It probably isn’t easy being the son of one of the most recognizable Kentucky Wildcats in the history of that program. It isn’t easy to have to play DE for one of Kentucky’s marquee programs especially among the smaller classifications of schools. Lots of things in life aren’t easy. One still has to soldier on and find ones own way. Chase Couch is doing just that and, in the offing, becoming one of his class’s more targeted edge rushers. HB.

This guy here seems to have all the ear-markings for Kentucky’s next star TE in the high school ranks. He plays for a marquee program in the 6A classification, has a desirable frame which plenty of room for “good weight.” To top it all off, he can also LS. Enjoy the feature. HB.
