Storm Warning: Jeremiah Groves ready to take the reins of the football program @HopkinsCentral @_CoachManning @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps

June 13, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Jeremiah Groves is a guy who couldn’t be framed out much better. He is 6’3,” north of 200-pounds, and has a versatile skill set which has lent itself well to his contributing to the team in a variety of ways. Groves scored a TD receiving, logged a “scoop and score,” was among the team leaders in tackles and sacks. Enjoy this feature about a player in Morton’s Gap who will figure prominently in the program’s success in 2024. Friday Night Fletch.

Bardstown has a Marshall at the controls- @Amonti07 @_K_Young14 @BardstownFootb1 @Coach_Dunn_ @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @1776Bank @KyHighFootball

Amonti Marshall is among the more versatile athletes running a 4A football team anywhere in the commonwealth of Kentucky. In’23 he threw for nearly a thousand yards (953) and ran for nearly another (862) while being a defensive leader who contributed 9-TFLs and a pair of QB-sacks. He is a 315-pound presser and squats 410. Little wonder this 3.0-GPA student would run 40-yard dashes in 4.6-seconds flat. The Tigers have been preseason picked 5th in Kentucky 4A by NationsElite. Players like Marshall will do that for a coach every time. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch

Leelen Vanover, from Madison Southern High, is (likely) the best lineman in the KHSAA in its 2027 class @Leelen75 @Drake_Jackson52 @coachpayne64 @CoachHarpMS @FBCoachWolf @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

June 10, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Leelen Vanover has been judged one of Kentucky’s top five (5) OL in the high school game we would suppose. We believe it must be an overall ranking because we can’t fathom there being four other freshmen/rising sophomore linemen in Kentucky on par with Vanover. Vanover is 6’2,” 280-pounds of grown looking and he has a 4.0 GPA. He is getting Division-1 looks right now and that attention is only going to get more common and fierce as we move along his high school career. He can play any of the five (5) upfront slots along the offensive line. Enjoy this feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Ballard just another in a long line of Wolverine football stars @Zach_Ballard54 @CoachYong41 @WHHS_Football @CoachVanderpool @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS

Zach Ballard is a long, tall drink of water who plays DE mostly now but may thicken into an extremely mobile DT before his playing days are through. He is 6’5,” 225-pound, rail thin edge rushing specialist who plays a considerable amount of time in the opponent’s offensive backfield. If he’s going to be back there that much, might as well invite him into the huddle. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Demarcus (DJ) Wilson, from Paducah Tilghman High, is the @1776Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week @DJWilson_24 @Jarvisstrick14 @pths_football @jimmy_mooney23 @CouchStoutUTM @coachthomp9 @coachstarks25 @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

Storm Warning: Sylas will be Gunn [ing] for folks this coming Fall @JoshGunn311 @SylasGunn @_CoachManning @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @HopkinsCentral @840WHAS

June 6, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Sylas Gunn has been among the more impressive athletes to compete in Western Kentucky sports in several years. The QB, SS, FS prospect can play baseball, basketball, football, and run track. For all we know, he may take up dressage and gymnastics next. This guy is poise to have a huge season upcoming. We will be pleased to monitor it. Friday Night Fletch.

Kalen Washington is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @KalenWashington @coachhawkins1 @bryanstationfb @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

June 5, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

This is one of Kentucky’s very finest RBs in the ’25 graduating class. They call him “Jaws,” and he is a 3-star, nationally rated prospect in Rivals and 247Sports. He’s one more thing too, he is the Protein-packed Performer of the Week. Enjoy this feature and and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor of the country’s very finest beef jerky products.

Carson Clark is a rising sophomore we believe will heavily contribute to the bottom line this coming Fall @CarsonClark08 @CooperFootball @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

June 4, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Not all future stars got varsity run the year prior. This is even more true of young guys on 5A finalists who were, themselves, freshmen. We have young Carson Clark to feature today. While we can’t really report on anything he did (at the varsity level) in ’23; that doesn’t mean he won’t breakout in ’24. Matter of fact, we wouldn’t bet against him. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

They call him ‘Coen’ @Coen_Taylor2 @FCFlyerFootball @840WHAS @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank

June 3, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Jacob Taylor is one of two “Taylors” on the Flyers’ roster. The Flyers, under Head Coach, Eddie James, has been among the more stocked and successful rosters at the 4A level of play. Jacob prefers to go by “Coen” and the 5’8,” 165-pounder carries a 4.0-GPA a believes in hear over height. His 45-receptions a year ago indicate his play backs up his hashtags rather well. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.
