Isaac Begley from Hazard High has the tools, the skills, the intangibles, the smarts #Kentuckys #fletcherwlong #LeadershipLegacy #CoachingExcellence #MentorshipMatters #characterbuilding #SportsLeadership #BuildingChampions #kentuckyfootball #highschoolfootball #DisciplineAndDedication #athletics #successmindset #bookstagram #booklovers @IsaacBegley, @hazardfbl, @KYHighFootball, @HazardAthletics, @jordanamis10, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @LasatersCoffee, @KHSAAFootball

Isaac Begley is a guy with all the intangibles. AT 6’1,” and 235-pounds he is a bit undersized to play C/DL next level though he could easily put on the necessary pounds but is perfectly suited to be a Long Snapper, something he has the ability to pull off. Perhaps most importantly, Begley is his class President in school, is a certified Next College Student Athlete (NCSA) prospect carrying a 3.8 GPA. That is a ton to love about this young man. Enjoy this look at a young guy entering his junior season for the Bulldogs, one of the Appalachia’s more formidable and storied programs.

The season is just about to start and the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company has signed on for another exciting season of featuring area star players and helping these young men net scholarships to further their academic and athletic careers. The Bank is committed to its customers and their dreams for a brighter and better future. They have proven it and it is why the Bank of Cadiz & Trust company is our bank, our family. Enjoy this look at a Trigg County Wildcat who has been a staple in the starting lineup since his freshman season. He looks to lead the Wildcats into ’26, his final year, and then will depart us for the college football ranks. We will miss Brody Calhoun when he’s gone but let’s not think about that right now. Instead, let’s all get ready to enjoy this his senior season and the fantastic journey Coach Higgins and kids will travel with all of us this Fall.

There is an old Greek proverb that reads, “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” It’s one the Stoics would have agreed with. This is a concept with which offensive linemen like Harrison McGraw are well familiar. Linemen like McGraw live to make others players more successful, to lighten the burden of those slotted around him, and not to glorify themselves. Still, guys like McGraw are hard to miss; especially for guys who are reputed experts like I am. Enjoy this look at a guy coming back to help insure North Oldham takes that next step.

St. Xavier’s Tigers are donning their leather work gloves and so are the Mulhalls #Kentuckys #fletcherwlong #LeadershipLegacy #CoachingExcellence #MentorshipMatters #characterbuilding #SportsLeadership #BuildingChampions #kentuckyfootball #highschoolfootball #DisciplineAndDedication #athletics #successmindset #bookstagram #booklovers @CoachLandis22, @KHSAAFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @LasatersCoffee, @stxtigers

We have for you today a story which may end up getting told around the Saint Xavier program for years hence. One of the Tigers tougher players showed up at practice donning a pair of leather work gloves. When Coach Landis asked him why he said, “It was all I had, Coach; besides that, we have work to do.” Don’t be surprised if you see Brian Landis down at Tractor Supply buying all they have in stock. We predict this will be a trend for the ’26 season and (perhaps) beyond. Enjoy the article.

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. Lasaters, where you aren’t just served; you’re loved.

The season is right around the corner and we are doing what we typically do every year. We are going through the classifications, 1A-6A, and breaking down how we see the coming year progressing. We study these type things, have analyzed coaching staffs, personnel changes, and other statistical data to arrive at an opinion which is far from a guess. Enjoy this look today at 3A, a classification one of our area high schools (Murray High) will likely figure prominently before the season is over. Thanks for your support and thank you to our friends, partners, and neighbors, the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company.

It is part of our yearly ritual. Every year, between the end of “Dead Period” and the beginning of the season, we run down the six (6) Kentucky classifications and forecast, for you, the best teams from the top down. We have done similarly this year. Now, if you have read us for any period of time, we don’t just publish lists. Anyone can do that. What makes “KPGFootball” the industry standard, in football, is our analysis. We don’t just tell you who; but, we tell you why. Enjoy the article.
