Dan Goble, a man whose teams terrorized the 4A classification when it was know in Kentucky as “big boy football” for 11-years has gained enshrinement into the KHSAA’s Hall of Fame Class of 2023. The magazine championed this cause. It numbers prominently among our greatest achievements.

How in the world did it take so long to appreciate the on-field performance of Michael Hughes, Jr.? Frankly, we are a tad embarrassed to admit not knowing the answer to this. It would help if the kid would sign up for Twitter like every other football prospect in the known universe. Still, this presents a real opportunity for college programs looking for D-1 skill-sets in non-traditional frames. Here’s one right here! You’re welcome. HB.

He’s 6’3″ and weighs 250 and kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip. Four-A players know not to give him no lip. Big Bo….Big Bad Bo! Where’s he headed to play his college football, we look at that very question in this article.

This guy won this award back in March of ’22. It was largely owing to the performance he rendered over his sophomore season. Well, he took it up a notch over his junior year and quite impressively. Sometimes we award this more than once to a single player. This is one of those times. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to take the time to #savortheflavor. HB.

This is a big man. However, it shouldn’t be lost on the readers he is a fine athlete in high demand among college recruiters as we slide from the early signing period to traditional “National Signing Day” the first Wednesday in February. We don’t know where this kid lands, or at what level of competition, but he could literally play about anywhere. Enjoy the feature. HB.

There are excellent players on literally every Kentucky High School Roster. Quintel Thomas is very good evidence of the phenomenon. Enjoy this look at a kid who tore it up in ’22 and appears to us definitely headed to “Saturday” football. We hope he stays in Kentucky. HB.

This kid has been on our radar a while and he has improved and gained in prowess over the years. He prepped this past Fall at North Laurel where he was a leader on the team in many different, statistical categories of importance. We believe him to be solidly a college running back, we just need to find him the right home. Enjoy the article. HB.
