@briiiann23 (Brian Thomas, c/0 ’22) from @pths_football (Paducah Tilghman) a big time, 3rd-level defensive prospect! @minguabeefjerky @KyHighFootball @PrepSpin @1776Bank @Lemmingscouting

July 24, 2021 Henry Lyon 0

We just learned Brian Thomas will be back at Tilghman for the ’21 season. If his production should increase proportionately to how it increased from ’19 to ’20, our pick of “The Blue Tornado” at number two in the preseason Class 3A football poll is looking better all the time. Enjoy the feature. HB.

@ArmonTucker from @TrinityHSFB is this week’s @1776Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week. @trinitysports @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball

July 23, 2021 Henry Lyon 0

Trinity has before complained we don’t cover them sufficiently. We would beg to differ as we have feature quite a few of its primetime players through the years but we probably don’t write about Kentucky’s most talented roster as much as we could. Of course, we can’t just perpetually feature one team, unless their hiring. Anyway, this kid here will play big-time, college football because of his speed, regardless of what he does or doesn’t do on the football field. Good thing he is good on the football field too. Enjoy the feature and join us next week as we award this to another worthy player. HB.

The Preseason Top-5 in the 5A-Classification. Some stalwarts and a surprise await you! @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @1776Bank

July 22, 2021 Henry Lyon 0

We have been projecting the top-5 team, preseason, in each of Kentucky’s six-classifications. We have been bold in some of our predictions, picking some wild cards we aren’t sure everyone would pick. Here is how we see Class 5A fleshing out. If we didn’t pick your team and you see a district opponent listed among our top-5, that means we don’t think you see round three. Let the water-cooler debates commence. HB.

@jake_nashty (Jake Nash), c/o ’22, from @LexCathFootball is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week. @PrepSpin @1776Bank @KyHighFootball

July 21, 2021 Henry Lyon 0

We have made it no secret we enjoy publicizing the players who rarely get any publicity, the offensive linemen across Kentucky. Well, if I were putting together a line of scrimmage from all of the linemen across the commonwealth of Kentucky to play a football game, the Big Nashty would be prominently discussed as a starter on this line. Congratulations to him on winning this week’s award and join us next week as we award this to another outstanding player from across Kentucky. HB.

@Jacob-Dewitt18 from @eaglesfb ready for his ‘last ride.’ @Minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @1776Bank @Coach_AScott

July 20, 2021 Henry Lyon 0

It isn’t just our job to point out the guys on the gridiron who have arrived. We have a duty to forecast the guys who are soon to arrive. Who knows the “big deal” Jacob Dewitt would be today had he been granted a “real” junior season. That is water under the bridge now. Wait until you see what he’s about to do! Enjoy the feature. HB.

@Matt_Davis32 from @PaintsvilleFB plans to help take his Tigers back for a second championship. @PaintsvilleAth @Bmelvin66 @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @1776Bank

July 19, 2021 Henry Lyon 0

Here is one of his classification’s very best two-way linemen. Matthew Davis has led his team to the “Promised Land” once; can they return? Well, that is the 64-dollar question isn’t it? Enjoy this look at a player who will certainly leave his mark in ’21 and will be moving on to “Saturday Ball” come the Fall of ’22. HB.

@RylanGeorge1 from @UCBraves is about to run away from his competition. @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @1776Bank

July 17, 2021 Henry Lyon 0

Sometimes predicting stardom in the future for some athletes is just too easy. Such was the case for Rylan George. George is a ’24 prospect about whom everyone will know in very short order. One day, we will look back on this article and wonder how in the world we were the first to predict this. We believe this may be a “Power 5” guy going forward. HB.

@Jaxonpanariello from @StXTigersFB is the @1776Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week. @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball

July 16, 2021 Henry Lyon 0

Here is a superstar who has already found the top of the leader board in numerous statistical categories for Louisville St. Xavier’s defensive unit in ’20 while only a sophomore. Guess what, he played as a freshman too, something which “never happens” to hear people talk. This kid here will be a household word across Kentucky before the coming season has expired. If we learn to spell “Panariello” all of our collective IQs will increase too. Won’t that be swell? Join us again next week as we crown another lucky Revolutionary Player of the Week. HB.

Preseason look at Class 4A; here’s our look at the top 5. @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @1776Bank

July 15, 2021 Henry Lyon 0

These preseason polls have been super hard to research and write. For one, SB-128 has made forecasting who’s back and who’s moved on super dicey to predict. Thank the Lord for Twitter. Here is our look at Class 4A. This classification figures to be super competitive, especially for the 5th slot in the poll as 6-8 teams could have been slotted there. Anyway, it is all for fun. Enjoy the feature. HB.

This is another kid who decided to reclassify under SB-128. Like QB, Cameron Hergott, before him; it appears to us this decision may just pay off big time for the ’22 QB. Brady Clark has all the intangibles and tangibles colleges crave for his position. Now he has him a sweet T-shirt and a box of the best jerky product on the market headed his direction. Join us next week when we award this to another lucky recipient. HB.
