Storm Warning: Isac Earl maybe the best athlete attending Hopkins County Central @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

February 13, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

If you were to look at all the ways Isac Earl contributed to Central’s bottom line over his junior season, you may draw the conclusion we did. He led the team in passing, led the team in receiving, led the team in scoring, was among the leaders in rushing, tackles, TFLs, and FFs. That is a ton of leadership out of one position. The 5’8,” 165-pound dynamo may be the Storm’s best all-around athlete on the roster not named “Gunn.” Enjoy this feature about a young man who brings on the stormy weather for Central foes.

Pabst deserves his own blue ribbon for his sophomore season @Liamtoml, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @BeechwoodFB, @beechwood_tiger

One of our favorite songs used to proclaim loving “red necks, white sox, and blue ribbon beer.” The blue ribbon beer was a reference to Pabst Blue Ribbon, a famous brand of alcoholic beverage. We don’t know if the Pabst family who son is a stud ’27 football player in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky bears any type relation to the Pabst family from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Then again, we don’t know that they don’t. What we do know is Nathan Pabst is dad-burn good at football and he makes his team all the better when he contributes his considerable efforts. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Slow Motion Replay: Remembering how Ed proved a Miracle for the Golden Bulldogs of Lynch East Main High @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball

February 10, 2025 Fletcher Long 2

Some of you may not remember Lynch East Main High. If you don’t, you may not remember its legendary, Hall of Fame football coach Ed Miracle. At KPGFootball, we remember everything and take our responsibility as the recorders of KHSAA football history very seriously. Join us now as we remember a guy who retired from coaching in 1992 with a pedigree of success and championships. Yessir, Ed’s career was a Miracle.

Storm Warning: Central has employed Derek Stone to call on good old fashioned, blunt force trauma to build hurting bombs! @Meloishim3, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

Central has employed a strength and conditioning coach who knows about being and building strong, powerful, and explosive athletes. Derek Stone has been put in charge of building hurting bombs. We want to be the hunters and not the hunted. Derek will be key to this mission going forward. Enjoy this look at the new strength and conditioning coach at Hopkins County Central.

Elite football programs execute in all three phases of football. We feature plenty of offensive and defensive players. We tend to feature kickers and punters. We sometimes forget about the snappers and the holders. Today, we feature a long-snapper from LCA who is a man’s man. Shake his hand and make this discovery. He is instrumental to the Eagles’ on-field success. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Storm Warning: Jaden White commits to Central, commits to the grind @Meloishim3, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

They call him “Melo.” It is a reference to Carmelo Anthony and is an indication of just how good this ’29 can be in two, not just one, sports. Jaden “Melo” White has committed to play his high school ball at the Central Storm and, in so doing, provides an explosive, big-frame athlete who can play on the edge or in the middle of the defenses second level. Enjoy the feature.

Aden Bolden, Small School All-State Athlete, is our Protein-packed Performer of the Week. @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @MCHSCoach, @AdenBolden, @JDaugherty1992

The great thing about high school football stars is often they are the guy who grew up down the street, went to church with us, and even look like us. The college guys are often inhuman, but the high school guys are “Regular Joes.” They are the boy next door. They are what is best about us if you really think about it. Aden Bolden is among the very best football players in Kentucky. He had a tremendous junior season, make the Big Ass Fan’s All-State, Small School, Football Team, and is now our Protein-packed Performer of the Week. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Jeremiah Austin, from Belfry High, is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator @BelfryFootball1, @wolford_bo, @_MLFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

January 24, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

JJ Austin is a workhorse for one of Kentucky’s premier programs. He leads the team in rushing, and rushing the football is what the Pirates do best. JJ is also more than a token defender. What will he do in ’25, as a senior? One might say he is “in the lead” to represent the “Big Ass Fans” Small School All-State Football Offense at FB/LB in 2025. It is still early. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it cool out there Kentucky!

Storm Warning: Dariyon Walker from Browning Springs looking to contribute immediately at Central @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

January 23, 2025 Fletcher Long 2

Every year, rosters are charged with replacing outgoing talent with upgrades (if they are lucky). Eighth graders leave middle school, and enter ninth grade, more and more prepared to contribute on Friday nights than at any previous time. Dariyon Walker looks to crack the Storm’s lineup early in his high school career. Will he? We like his chances!

Aiden Jesse is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @CoachAtchley @ColonelFootball @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

January 22, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Aiden Jesse is putting up prodigious numbers, particularly for a team which has struggled as mightily as have the Colonels. Jesse is also impressing the right people as recruiting interest in him is heightening. This is a prospect who we could see signing with any team at virtually any level of competition. If this kid can’t catch on with a college program, then the NIL and transfer portal has rendered that prospect unattainable. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.
