Player Profile

Spencer County’s Jamarion Smith (@Jizzlesmith5), Class of 2022…We think he’s for-izzle, my-jizzle!

August 13, 2019 Henry Lyon 1

Well, this young prospect is obviously a Snoop Dogg fan. So are we. He’s also Kadin Smith’s little brother and we remember how much of a stud Kadin was in high school before being recruited to play football in the Big-10 for Purdue. Well, Jamarion appears set to launch on a similar flight trajectory. It is coming up on his sophomore year and he has already clocked 40’s in the 4.5’s. It appears it is his time, and with Spencer County coming off a 4-6 year, that time can’t come any sooner for the Bears faithful. Enjoy the article about Jay the Jet.

Class of 2020’s Andrew Long, (@drew_long16) the pride of both the Long family and LCA

August 12, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

Andrew Long’s play has Longs all over the commonwealth of Kentucky claiming relation to him, whether they believe themselves to really be kin or not. Someone making themselves a star will do that. Andrew Long is a star football player and high school linebacker with an incredibly high ceiling and incredible production from his junior campaign (2018). Check out this article about one of the very best LBs in the 2A classification and in Kentucky’s Class of 2020.

Is Todd County Central’s Joshuah Keith the No. 1 QB in KY’s 2024 class? We think so, and here’s why…

August 9, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

We make no bones about it, Joshuah Keith is the best QB in the class of 2024 anywhere in Kentucky in our opinion. He may be 2024’s very best football player too. A lot of what makes him different is his poise and football IQ. Than there is an 8th grader who runs in the high 4.6’s, low 4.7’s, in the 40 and shuttles in a blistering 4.0-flat. Of course his throwing a HS ball 59-yards this summer in Knoxville at the Gunslinger Challenge didn’t hurt his reputation either. If you really want to know why he is different than any other top-flight, 8th grade QB, then read this article.

Louisville’s Kiyaunta Goodwin ready to bang with the big boys!

August 8, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

When Phillip Fulmer, now the AD at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, but once a National Championship winning football coach at the same school, met Kiyaunta Goodwin he exclaimed it was like being in the movie “The Blind Side” a second time. That movie featured the coming of age of Michael Oher who went on to become one of the NFL’s marquee tackles. Of course Michael Oher was only 6-4, 315-pounds. Kiyaunta Goodwin is 6-8, 350. Regardless, Kiyaunta has been favorably compared to such greats for years now and has the opportunity, this season, to come of age and really showcase what he can do. You see, the player formerly playing 1A football for Holy Cross has now transferred to Louisville’s Ballard High School (6A). Enjoy the article.

Byce Patterson is the “Woodford Reserve” of Woodford County QBs

August 6, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

This Woodford County product is rare among high school athletes, smooth, and comes in small batches. All of this sounds eerily like the Brown-Foreman Corporation’s whiskey known, world-wide, as “Woodford Reserve.” Enjoy this article about a young QB entering his sophomore year who we think, around the magazine, will be pretty special too.

Brody Wells, Knox Central, Ready for the Friday Night Lights

August 5, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

This guy has represented Kentucky in the Future Stars game and, coming out of middle school, is widely regarded one of the best football players in Kentucky’s 2023 class of prospects. What will he do under the shine of the lights on Friday Night? Well, that is anyone’s guess. We believe he will be an early contributor for the Panthers coming off a 10-4 season in 2018 and a birth in the Class 4A semi-finals. Enjoy this article.

Injury news from around the commonwealth…

August 3, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

Some pretty significant players from across Kentucky are nursing some injuries which could possibly impact their teams’ performances in 2019. Here are just a few of the more notable players reported as having sustained injury to KPGFootball. We are sure there are more. We can’t report on what we aren’t told. HB.

Connor Marshall (Class of 2020) has come into his own, looking for big senior year

August 1, 2019 Henry Lyon 1

How was Ray Graham able to step in and turn around a Thoroughbred football program in Cynthiana, Kentucky (Harrison County) which had won a total of 9 games from 2014-2017? Well, it certainly didn’t hurt to have a Marshall on hand. Coach Graham had previously coached two other Marshalls, one named Bubba, the other named Cliff. Now he’s coaching Connor. It would appear Connor is on the cusp of a big, big year.

Adam McCune, football is a family tradition (Featured Photo: Brendon Miller, Bluegrass Sports Nation)…

July 30, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

A lot of people questioned the legitimacy of our Class 5A poll because we didn’t have Montgomery County’s Indians among the top-ten teams. The mild uproar was understandable as Egli’s Indians have scalped 19 of the previous 25 opponents over the 2017 & 2018 seasons. Players like Adam McCune, and his brother Luke before him, are just two among many reasons for the run. No one should be surprised when a player with the surname “McCune” turns out to be a fantastic high school player. Heck, it’s a family tradition.

Is 2019 McKenzie’s Chanse at QB for Perry County Central?

July 29, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

We are always looking for undiscovered talent. We search far and wide to deliver to our readers news of players who are often undiscovered and under-covered until we come along. Well we believe we have done it again with Chanse McKenzie. We believe McKenzie will have a monster year for the Commodores and solidify his hold over the QB position offensively as well as contribute more meaningfully to the defense at LB. Enjoy this article.
