We like the Aces to get back to Lexington this coming season and believe they will escape with the crown. We also believe programs like Beechwood, LCA, and Mayfield will have a bunch to say about it. Somerset is lurking around and are coming off a fine season with weaponry coming back from last season’s roster. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Preseason Top Five in 3A plus a few more @BelfryFootball1, @TriggFootball, @centurions_fb, @CHSJacketFB, @echsfb, @LexCath @AlPopFootball @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas

Well, it is time for us to pick the 3A classification and how it will “shake out” this coming Fall. We could take the coward’s way out and pick last year’s champion, Christian Academy-Louisville, to repeat. Instead, we took the coward’s way out and picked eight-time title holder, Belfry. Enjoy. Friday Night Fletch.

In Middlesboro, the path to winning football involves some French @SportsOT @berea_football @Frenchie564 @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MBORO_FOOTBALL @barstoolmboro

Larry French has built a contender in Middlesboro, Kentucky in the five years he’s been at the helm, going 54-14. The Yellow Jackets were 10-44 the five seasons before his arrival. Graduation riddled the roster somewhat; but, in the end, French is back and that has proven to offset plenty of roster defections over the years. Enjoy the article. Friday Night Fletch.

We are going through and featuring a preseason all-state football team position by position. We are featuring players in the small classifications and players in the larger classifications. Today we are featuring the “Big Boys” playing for the Big Boys. This is the preseason, large school, All-State offensive linemen. Enjoy. Friday Night Fletch.

The season is upon us quicker than you would believe. Dead Period is over in two days and there is nothing on the other side of Dead Period apart from Seven’s tournaments, scrimmages, and openers. We are going to put together some preseason all-state groupings. We hope to get to all the position groups, but can’t promise it. Here are the Small School, Preseason, All-State offensive linemen. Enjoy, and let the arguing begin…Friday Night Fletch!

Doc Long is the Mingua Beef Jerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @1776Bank @williammlong @kyhighs @KyHighFootball

There are scores of “volunteers” who selflessly give of themselves for the benefit of the middle and high school programs across Kentucky. They never get any fanfare or recognition. Well, we thought we would change that today by recognizing the incredible contributions of “Doc Long,” Hopkinsville High School’s long-standing team physician from 1976-1996. Little late in coming; but, better late than never. Friday Night Fletch!

Prospects vs. “Friday Nighters;” Josiah Hope from North Hardin is quite a prospect- @AthleticsNHHS @JosiahHope6 @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @KyHighFootball @840WHAS

March 26, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Josiah Hope played on a roster which “officially” posted a 1-10 in ’23 notwithstanding its having two “Power Fives” in its lineup. Well, most of the “Ls” were actually “Ws” turned by forfeit for self-reported violations, so don’t cry for North Hardin quite yet. Either way, the Trojans boast another top-flight, in-KY guy that the “big boys” are clamoring to impress and recruit. This feature will help you understand what makes a player a prospect and not just an outstanding Friday Nighter. Friday Night Fletch.

The Colonels continue to amass a coaching staff which is the marvel of many around the western part of Kentucky. Coach Greenwell will be using technology to improve individual, team, and staff performance. He’s been doing it at Trinity High and they seem to be doing alright. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Brooks Kerwin at LCA is our @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Year @BrooksKerwin55 @Oakley_Watkins @CoachDCharles @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

March 13, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Brooks Kerwin is the total package. He is 6’3,” 275-pounds with a 4.33 GPA and a 26 on his ACT. Kerwin is a can’t miss prospect and has started every game for the previous two years in a pass-heavy offense without allowing a single sack. He is relentless, polished, athletic, and our Mingua Beef Jerky Protein-packed Performer. Enjoy this feature and and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor of the country’s very finest beef jerky products.
