Every now and then, we write an article to fully impress our cleverness upon the reader. This is one of those and we may have gotten a little carried away; however, the central points shouldn’t lose focus. The point is…Gabe Claybrook has developed several skills any one of which could get him in college on someone’s dime other than his parents’ or his. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Cortez Stone, ’25 RB from Louisville Central High, is the @1776Bank, ‘Revolutionary Player of the Year.’@teeroyhowell @QuadrupleCov859 @anthonymack1117 @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @kyhighs @HLPreps @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @8gocrazzyy @kyhighs @HLPreps @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps

Well the season is in the rear view and we are gearing up for post season award ceremony. All-State football teams are already popping up around the social-media sphere. One guy who shouldn’t get left off the post-season teams is our Revolutionary Player of the Year. Enjoy the feature. HB.

These guys are our ’22 Kentucky HS All-State defense. Some of these guys are highly and nationally rated and others are just darn-fine, high school football players. Regardless, they all seem to be very good players, and no-doubt all-staters, to us. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Well, it is time to start another social media war about whom we did or didn’t select for our KPGFootball All-State Offense. Like we have before said, many times, you never get them all and you will always leave off any all-state team players who were undoubtedly “All-Sate Caliber.”

Jerrico Wilson, from Ballard Memorial High, is the @minguabeefjerky ‘Protein-packed Performer’ of the week. @GoBMHSBombers @BallardBombers @BallardSchools @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLPreps @MaxPreps @1776Bank @PrepSpin

It is awe-inspiring when you consider all the ways the Bombers football team in ’22 leaned on Jerrico Wilson. Sure the program suffered through a bad season but Wilson was dynamic and spectacular. Enjoy this feature about our Protein-packed Performer of the Week and don’t forget to make time to #savortheflavor of the country’s finest all-beef jerky products. HB.

Layton “Drew” Davis, ’23 Paducah Tilghman, maybe the best interior DL in Kentucky. @RileyElite3 @_Elite3 @NashvilleAABowl @BOTMWCombine @WestKYSportsNet @CoachSimmons_CC @LWC_Football @CVilleTigersFB @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @PrepSpin @kyhighs @HLPreps @KyHighFootball @LaytonDavis4

We voted for Layton Davis, first-team (on our AP ballot), when he was still at Caldwell County last season. Layton was “Honorably Mentioned” on the AP team and first-team on KPGFootball’s squad as only a junior. There isn’t a coach in the West who wouldn’t pick him first if assembling a team and needing an inside presence along the front. This kid is All-State, all day long, and our sources tell us might possibly be headed to play for Lindsey-Wilson. Enjoy the feature. HB.

DeAndre Malone, Edge Rusher Supreme on Bulldog Defense. @CoachMalone_31 @DeAndreMalone6 @CoachRJWilson55 @CSAPrepStar @CoachAGoggans @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @kyhighs @HLPreps

DeAndre Malone really played at an incredibly high level all season long for Coach Chris Wolfe’s Bulldogs. The Louisville Male product is a first-team all-stater in our estimation. We also think he is a sure take for many a college football program looking to add a kid who understands “turning it on” under the lights. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Grant Garrison, ’23 Woodford County product both a hot commodity and ‘sure-fire’ All-Stater at DE. @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @WoodfordFBall @kyhighs @HLPreps @KyHighFootball @CentreFootball

Grant Garrison is undersized but over performs. There are several small colleges around Kentucky who would benefit from his signature. He reminds us of Centre College’s Oliver Hunter, and big Ollie worked out mighty well for the Colonel horde, just saying. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Gavin Copenhaver, a Blue-Gray All-American, is the @1776Bank ‘Revolutionary Player of the Week.’ @GavinCopenhave2 @centurions_fb @teeroyhowell @QuadrupleCov859 @anthonymack1117 @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @kyhighs @HLPreps @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps

We’ve been featuring for the most part this week outstanding performances from the previous weekend’s championships. Can’t leave this chap out of that discussion as no one performed any better than he in any of the 6-championships played. CAL may have been Kentucky’s very best team this year regardless of classification, with apologies to Frederick Douglass about whom the same could be said. Enjoy the feature brought to you by the financial institution revolutionizing the banking industry in the commonwealth of Kentucky. HB.
