McLean County may be a team of whom you haven’t heard and Zach Wagner may be a coach with whom you are unfamiliar. However, what that tells me is you haven’t followed the KHSAA and its marquee sport (Football) very closely over the previous decade or so. Wagner is one of the area’s better head football coaches and the clip at which he has been fielding consistent winners in Calhoun, Kentucky is a testament to his ability to coach a football team. McLean runs a system the kids fit well and they consistently challenge for district and even regional supremacy in the area where they play and compete. McLean won another pivotal battle Thursday night and, with it, earned the ability to open the playoffs at home this year. Enjoy the article.

Sometimes we like to do things a bit differently. The Tigers are coming off an off week and come home to play a critical, first district matchup against the Henderson County Colonels. The district title is still out there for the taking to the “winner” of this Friday Night’s game. We will scout the matchup and attempt to predict a score and a winner. Big game, and the Tiger coaching staff couldn’t be anymore aware.

Muhlenberg at Madisonville North Hopkins was a heck of a Thursday night game in Madisonville, KY. Both teams entered the night at 5-1 and the game was a back and forth affair for over three of the four quarters. The problem arose when a couple breaks went against Muhlenberg in the 4th quarter and the team just sort of let down, sort of surrendered. That is the next step for the Mustangs; finishing games. The Mustangs have got to learn how to finish games where the final margin is more a reflection of the game and the degree to which the game was competitive. The final Thursday night was 48-14. Credit the Maroons for carrying the fight to the Mustangs for the full 48-minutes. The game was a bit more competitive than the final score would indicate. Enjoy the feature.

Lloyd Memorial is a team which has been overlooked as a potential 3A title contender. It is not our fault, we had them No. 3 on our preseason top-team’s poll coming into the season. Lincoln Tomlinson was the headliner coming into the year. Well, his classmate, Colten Barger (’28) looks as though he may have etched his name on the stud-wall in the locker room so far this year. The Juggernauts are 6-0 and have ripped through both a 5A team (Collins) and a 6A squad (Campbell County). With four regular season games left, this Juggernaut of a team may be headed to 10-0 and quite a few playoff games at home. Enjoy this look at a main reason why.

Sometimes individual performances give rise to promise and expectation for the future even where it came in an unsuccessful bid for a victory. This past weekend the Trigg County Wildcats were hammered by a Caldwell team which has looked good all season in the 139-Bowl. That loss aside, and dropping to 1-4 on the year aside, the Wildcats still found elements about which to feel like there its considerable promise for the future under legendary coach, Curtis Higgins. MarQayvion Green had a strong night rushing the football and Caden Scott, who has come off injury, showed resilience under heavy pressure, shrugging off sack attempts to keep plays moving in the second half. These young kids getting all these valuable live game reps will pay off before too much longer. It just goes to show, one has to be omnipresently prepared, ready. This week our jacket patch goes to the young freshman who played like anything but a freshman (MarQayvion Green). He has been expected this year to be prepared, to be ready, and to perform and, thus far, he hasn’t disappointed. Enjoy this look at young MarQayvion Green who is our Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company All-State Player of the Week and another patch-recipient as we enter mid-season and district play.

Christian Academy-Louisville product, Ja’Hyde Brown(’27), is indefensible…@JaHeisman, @CenturionAD, @Aspirationsgym, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @KHSAAFootball, @Cleats2Whistle, #Kentuckys #fletcherwlong #LeadershipLegacy #CoachingExcellence #MentorshipMatters #characterbuilding #SportsLeadership #BuildingChampions #kentuckyfootball #highschoolfootball #DisciplineAndDedication #athletics #successmindset #bookstagram #booklovers #fletcherlongauthor

Louisivlle’s Ja’Hyde Brown (Christian Academy-Louisville) is coming off quite a game for his Centurions against a 6A opponent in Hardin County, Kentucky (Central Hardin). Brown logged 6 receptions for 158 yards and 4 receiving touchdowns (receptions of 31, 51, 65, and 14 yards). He also returned a punt for a touchdown, totaling 5 touchdowns on the night. That is the type performance which leads a young player to the Atlantic Coast Conference and an NIL check to play for the homesteading Louisville Cardinals. Brown is a “Mr. Football” candidate and his candidacy is hard to argue against, except for the possible exception the team would be about as lethal with or without him, but that isn’t his fault. The Centurion roster is loaded with playmakers at about every position. Enjoy this look at a kid for whom the sky is literally the limit.
