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.

Sometimes it feels, in the KHSAA, we see the same teams prospering year after year. Well, there is a reason for that…several reasons actually. One reason is not all programs in our commonwealth attribute the same level of importance to football as others. Another reason is some programs are better administered and coached than others. Some programs have superior access to talent as they have larger enrollments or more talent laden areas from which to pool football playing talent. For whatever reason, Versailles, Kentucky appears to mine a rich vein of football playing talent annually and Coach Dennis Johnson and staff appear particularly adept at reaping the benefit from this abundant and wealth-laden resource. Enjoy this look at Jordan Holman, a perfect example of the type of roster talent dotting the Yellowjacket roster and why the Yellowjackets perpetually and annually seem to be in contention.

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.

Murray High had a tremendous signal caller in 2025 who has moved on to the Murray State Racers and will now play on Saturdays. Still, Melvin Cunningham has built an enviable program while at Murray High and his Tigers figure to be in the title chase again in 2026. Lots of big-bodies on that Tiger roster. Lots of athletes on that Tiger roster. There is even a transfer from Dresden, TN who comes to town well thought of, successful, and much ballyhooed for his prior on-field successes. HIs name should be familiar to you. It is Bruce Willis, the same as the Hollywood “leading man,” Bruce Willis. This guy is a load, plays QB, lists MLB as his defensive position (which should tell the reader something of his demeanor and disposition), and is equally dangerous breaking down defenses with his arm or his legs. He ain’t going to juke you if you catch our drift. If you are going to tackle him, you better bring along your “Big Boy Britches.” Enjoy this look at this week’s Bank of Cadiz Featured Player.

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.

We generally go back and republish some articles during the Dead Period. This is the last day of Dead Period and it is full throttle to the opener from here until opening weekend. We are excited about what has been a thrilling offseason. We have accomplished quite a lot this offseason not the least of which has been our publishing the most decorated and distributed book on the topic of Kentucky High School football in Kentucky history. We are very gratified about the book, “Kentucky’s All-Time, High School Football Coaches & A Few More I Liked,” as it has spent a considerable amount of time on the “Amazon” International “Best Sellers’s List” in the categories of “Football,” “Football Coaching,” and “Football Biographies.” Enjoy this flashback to one of our favorite former players. Let the battles begin…

Miles Hollon, from Breathitt County, has come literally miles in a short time @Qb1miles4, @BreckenHarvey, @cleats2whistle, @wood7walker, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom

Miles Hollon is a rare commodity among ’28 QBs. While many of them are selling “potential,” he’s selling production. How many QBs throw for close to 4,000 yards with around 50-thrown TDs entering their junior seasons? You can count them on less than a single hand. Hollon’s frame and growth potential are big pluses for him as he is today’s feature and a guy who has won almost every award one can bestow.
