Like we have done in prior seasons, now the games are finally here, we will take the last week’s action and break it down and then look at the road ahead. We had a slight misstep at home with North Hopkins this past Friday night and the trip to Fryar Stadium to play Fort Campbell means the sledding will not get much easier. Fort Campbell has made some personnel reassignments which should make the team harder than the one the staff has seen on film. Enjoy this feature and get out to the games this weekend. Remember, your hometown heroes need a little help from you! See you at the game!

We have identified in the offseason and leading up to the season’s commencement some star guys we foretold would “break out” this year. We are three games into the regular season and many of these guys are doing exactly what we forecast they would be doing. We are going around the horn and checking in on some of these former predictions just to see how we did and where we are. Join us, won’t you?

Like we have done in prior seasons, now the games are finally here, we will take the last week’s action and break it down and then look at the road ahead. We had quite the battle with Caldwell at home this past Friday night and the game turned on two fumble recoveries and a KO return for a TD comprising the 11-point difference between the two equally matched teams. What should we expect in Elkton, KY this coming Friday Night? Well, we will break that down for you right here.

A few years ago, Cameron Bulle came out of middle school and asked the varsity Scotties to take a chance on him. The Scotties elected to take that chance and the results have been impressive and favorable. Today we bestow on Cameron Bulle the highest honor known to this level of competition, the prestigious Protein-packed Performer of the Week from Mingua Beef Jerky. Enjoy this feature on a kid very deserving of some of the world’s finest beef jerky products and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor out there in Glasgow, KY.

For Garrard County to take the next step, a player like Dalton Flannery has to take a step… @FlanneryDalton, @Spencer15Crutch, @GarrardFB, @minguabeefjerky, @CoachJeffHester,@bigassfass, @khsaafootball, @KyHghFootball, @KatherineL58069

If you want to talk about a team on the rise, a team on a heater, may we suggest you buy Garrard County now before the price climbs too high. Spencer Crutchfield has come into the Lancaster, Kentucky and built the programs into quite a formidable one. Adding the games preeminent defensive coordinator in Jeff Hester certainly didn’t hurt. Now the Golden Lions have to develop the roster talent and get it deployed. One guy who should help going forward is rising senior Dalton Flannery. We like his frame, we like his athletic skill set, we love his demeanor and aggression. It is time to get on the field and get it done. Can’t wait to monitor this situation as we go along. Enjoy the feature.

Gavin Johnson from Hazard, Kentucky is the Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @Gjohnson1418, @coach_chandler @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

This is a super freak athlete from the Appalachia mountains. His father, an attorney in Hazard, Kentucky, told us his vertical is slightly over 43-inches and that Gavin won’t stop till it tops 45. What that means is his reported 40-time of 4.58-seconds isn’t even close. Johnson is much, much faster than that! This kid is really a physical specimen and should be firmly in the “Mr. Football” race his senior year in spite of his playing 1A football. We have said this many times. There are good teams and bad teams in the KHSAA and they span all six (6) of Kentucky’s classifications. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky. Allow us to help you out in that regard as we tell you the story of Gavin Johnson from Hazard, KY.

The Dog Pound: Could Hazard be even better than we forecasted a couple months ago? @minguabeefjerky, @coach_chandler, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @Gjohnson1418,

We almost never know what to make of transfers. It seems, more and more, teams are picking up transfers and it becomes difficult to track. Our policy has always been not to comment on transfers until the young men have been cleared to play. Well, the Hazard Bulldogs picked up three huge transfers and all three have been cleared for play. What does it all mean. Hazard already boasts one of the finest and more talented rosters in the KHSAA 1A classification. Well, we think it means Hazard may be even better than we predicted in June. Enjoy the article.

Jack Long, ’27 LB/Rover is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers, @KatherineL58069,  @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball,

Jack Long is a kid we weren’t sure would get cleared to play the coming season. As it turns out, he got cleared by provided he wears a helmet specifically designed to avoid head trauma, limit his contact through the week, and be permitted to wear a concussion cap during KHSAA games. As it turns out, Jack’s rejoining the team was important for reasons other than football. One of Jack’s coaches suffered a medical incident related to his exertion in the heat and other medical issues he was suffering at the time and Jack, mid-scrimmaging, was observant enough to notice it and call attention to it. The early detection may have made all the difference in the world.

We are very pleased to welcome Lasaters Coffee & Tea to our growing family of advertisers. The Kelley family has a very long history in the local football industry and several of the Kelleys have had their numbers retired owing to their familial history of playing excellence. Football has been very good to their family and they look for ways to give back to this very special community. Lasaters is a place one goes to get caffeinated and motivated and couldn’t we all use a bit more of that invigoration in our daily routines. Get by one (1) of our four (4) Christian County, Kentucky locations and enjoy the roasted flavor of a hot cup of warmth and love.

It is that time of year. We are all coming out of the “Dead Period” and we want to know how our hometown, high school football team is likely to fare in the coming season? We have taken an in-depth look into one of our favorite teams, Hopkins County Central, and have attempted to forecast that very thing. Enjoy this breakdown of the Storm’s team and upcoming season. Let’s brace for the glorious season ahead enjoying this country’s greatest and most significant export.
