We talk all the time about Ricco Hughes having the eye and his ability to spot a next-level football star as soon as middle school. His isn’t wrong often. He sure wasn’t wrong about North Hardin’s Lavell Wright. Enjoy the article. HB.
We used to call him “Big Bear” when covering him for Team Kentucky while he was in Middle School. He asked us not to so reference him that way so we quit. Now that he has grown into a literal grizzly, he has given us the go ahead to call him that once more. We are thrilled. He is one of the digital magazine’s very favorite players. Read why. HB.
This was a guy who really stood out to us especially for a sophomore. Jacob Gaines didn’t quite have an all-State year, but he wasn’t too far off either. Going forward we wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him blossom into one of Kentucky’s most recruited gridiron talents. HB.
The secret’s out on one of Kentucky’s very best athletes and football players. With what he has been doing on the combine circuit, 2020 should really be a big year for him. Enjoy the article. HB.
Here is a young man who really showed of what he was made in 2019 after having been sparingly used the year prior. Javeius Bunton is poised to have a break-out, senior season for one of Kentucky’s most storied programs. HB.
Tyler Morris is one of the most explosive athletes in the Kentucky Class of 2022. He may be its best football player too. With the size and physicality of a LB and the speed, agility, quickness, and explosion of a “skill,” Morris is the KHSAA’s version of the one-man band. His skill-set and determination make him a likely “Mr. Football candidate” in two years if not even next year. Enjoy the article about one of our favorite players. HB.
We have chosen to bid farewell to a class of football players on whom we “cut our teeth” so to speak. These guys were on our first KPGFootball Sophomore All-State team. These guys never let us down and we don’t see them disappointing us in college either. Good-bye class of 2020, we will miss you…we will forever love and remember you. Coach Lyon, individually and for the entire staff of KPGFootball.
So college scouts you like them long, lean, mobile, agile and hostile upfront? Well, here’s 6-6, 288-pounds or Zach Tong from Middlesboro, KY. I would get to the party early, linemen like him tend to have the old dance card fill up quickly. HB.
In a departure from our customary Revolutionary Player of the Week, we thought it would be cool to award a Player of the Year for 2019 from out of the areas serviced by Independence Bank, the fastest growing bank in the commonwealth of Kentucky. We can’t imagine a player who meant more to the offensive production of his team than this season’s recipient, Jeriah Hightower of Madisonville North-Hopkins. We will get back to designating players of the week next week, but for now, enjoy this article about a kid who really came through for his team for much longer than one week.
We are going to say something here with which Isaac Dixon, who we know well, would readily agree. He doesn’t gain 228-yards rushing on 15 carries and walk away from Kroger Field with the Class 3A, State Championship Game MVP hardware without Ethan “Big E” Wolford and the rest of “Haywood’s Hogs.” In a game dominated by grown men able to move the unwilling from A to B despite the latter’s protestations, Belfry reinforces the adage one has to “run the damn football” to win games in November and December in the commonwealth of Kentucky. We are going to miss Big E.
