It is getting time for the now former 8th graders to report to their varsity teams. The Storm, when opening camp, will certainly have some prime timers joining them from middle school looking for PT. KJ Hayes will be one of them. As the reigning KYMSFA, Region I, Division I, Player of the Year, it wouldn’t surprise many to see this kid in the lineup early in his HS career. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Storm Warning: Jaylehn Johnson looks to launch in ’24 @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @HopkinsCentral @_CoachManning @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

Jaylehn Johnson is a versatile athlete who has made the most of his limited appearances on the grid iron. Johnson runs Track & Field and competes in the 400-meter where he clips off that longish sprint in around a minute flat. That isn’t too bad. He should get more opportunities in ’24 and, judging by what he did in limited appearances in ’23, should bode well for our Storm. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Storm Warning: If Isaac brings what he can (physically) to the athletic table, it could me a long (Mc)Knight for Storm Opponents @HopkinsCentral @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @1776Bank @_CoachManning

Isaac McKnight is a freshman who played 3-games as a freshman in ’23. Notwithstanding the limited run, he still registered 7-tackles, a TFL, and a QB-sack. That is phenomenal, if we are being honest. His production would rocket in ’24. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor. Friday Night Fletch.

Sam Clements is among the more versatile, dual-threat QBs playing in the 6A classification. He had a very solid ’23 which has landed the rising senior on quite a few recruiting boards. Clements is looking forward to a very solid ’24 to polish off what has been a fine HS career under center.

This guys was third on the team in rushing yards, was among the leaders in scoring, and led the team in several important and critical defensive categories. In addition to all of that, he is a first-rate powerlifter and star on the varsity baseball team. This Tyler Kautzman-cat can flat play.

Storm Warning: Cruz Cavanaugh getting ready to ‘put it all together’ in ’24 @cruz_cavanaugh5 @_CoachManning @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @HopkinsCentral @840WHAS

We featured this guy a year ago, in June of ’23. It was our prediction he would crack the lineup sometime over his freshman season. Well, he got in a game but didn’t exactly crack the lineup. There has been some graduation attrition since then and he seems assured of getting plenty of PT over the course of his upcoming sophomore season. Enjoy this look at Central’s Cruz Cavanaugh.

We have been featuring versatility this offseason. Today, we bring you a WR/CB who is also a star in basketball. Waryn Ebelhar had quite a junior season and, with the top two receivers out of eligibility, he should flourish as the top QB’s number one down field target in Kentucky’s most prolific passing offense maybe in the history of the KHSAA.
