Gavin Johnson and Mikey Hager are simply two of the best all-around football players in the KHSAA regardless of classification. These two guys will meet on October 25, 2025 in Hazard, Kentucky and there figures to be plenty on the line. Enjoy this look at two guys who have both worked tirelessly and who appear peerless (except for the other) in their district, their region, even their classification.

Carson Bugg has been blessed by nature. He has the length major college coaches covet and the height and mass preferred for where he projects. Can’t get much better than that in life, huh? Yessir, it certainly is a “Bugg’s life,” this game of football. Come and read this feature about one of the more imposing linemen playing high school football today in the commonwealth of Kentucky. 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 Versailles, KY.

North Hopkins is big, fast, mobile, strong, powerful, and explosive all over the field on both sides of the scrimmage line. This is especially true upfront offensively. “The Bigs” don’t ever get enough credit in our humble opinion. Credit or no credit, North figures to have a RB in the thick of a “Mr. Football” race in 2025. To get there, or to get where the team wants to go, the Maroons will rely heavily (pardon the pun) on the five or six guys upfront. Enjoy this feature.

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.

We started this journey we call Kentucky Prep Gridiron reporting mainly on middle school players. When our initial middle school stars matriculated to high school, we came with them. We don’t cover middle school football as much as we once did but we do cover it. Today, we report on a kid who may be the best 8th-grade QB in the commonwealth of Kentucky. He is darn sure athletic. He is darn sure well developed with room for quite a bit more anatomical development. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard as we tell you the story of Samuel Speakes Wilson from Paris, KY.

Storm Warning: Joel Murrah, Class of 2028, is getting stronger, is getting better @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

The high school game is a game where players like Joel Murrah may flourish. It is his game. It is the game for the “Chapter 16” type kid, the “Football Playing Jesse.” If these references are unfamiliar to you, you need to read Sam Harp and my book, “Football 101: Boo-Boo’s a Quarterback.” There is a link at the bottom of this article, will take you right to where you can order. It is just $9.99 on “Kindle,” best ten bucks you will ever spend. Joel Murrah will help anchor the Storm front this coming year. He appears well equipped to handle the assignment. Enjoy the feature.

We continue to feature some of the better QBs in the KHSAA. That being said, there aren’t too many better than Holy Cross’s Jerek Hoover who is 6’0,” 170-pounds, threw for close to two-thousand yards last year while running for another 634, and scored or was responsible for 22-TDs running and throwing. Oh yeah, he sports a 3.7-GPAs. This is a guy who looks very recruitable to us, particularly if your program has a tough admission’s committee to by-pass. 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 Louisville, KY.
