The high school game is a game where players like Joel Murrah may flourish. It is his game. It is the game for the “Chapter 16” type kid, the “Football Playing Jesse.” If these references are unfamiliar to you, you need to read Sam Harp and my book, “Football 101: Boo-Boo’s a Quarterback.” There is a link at the bottom of this article, will take you right to where you can order. It is just $9.99 on “Kindle,” best ten bucks you will ever spend. Joel Murrah will help anchor the Storm front this coming year. He appears well equipped to handle the assignment. Enjoy the feature.

We continue to feature some of the better QBs in the KHSAA. That being said, there aren’t too many better than Holy Cross’s Jerek Hoover who is 6’0,” 170-pounds, threw for close to two-thousand yards last year while running for another 634, and scored or was responsible for 22-TDs running and throwing. Oh yeah, he sports a 3.7-GPAs. This is a guy who looks very recruitable to us, particularly if your program has a tough admission’s committee to by-pass. Enjoy this feature on a kid very deserving of some of the world’s finest beef jerky products and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor out there in Louisville, KY.

Jack Long, from Christian County, may have saved a coach’s life at practice last night; now that’s a primetime play! @jacklongFb, @KatherineL58069, @LasatersCoffee, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @davaree_gude6, @TriggFootball, @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers

We are always reporting on some guy making tackles, throwing some passes, catching TDs and the like. Football is more than just making plays; it is about being family. Last night, James Nicholas Whaley (Jack Whaley) Long may have saved one of his coach’s lives. New coach Kelly Myers was having a diabetic episode, which involved seizures, and Jack recognized it and called for his getting some help before the situation descended into the depths of no return. Thank the Lord Jack is as observant a kid as he happens to be. Thank God this situation didn’t end up being much worse. Way to go Jack Whaley Long.

Jalen Carr from Owensboro ready to show the KHSAA what he can do @JalenCarr22, @carsonbugg77, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @SrHighFootball

July 26, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

The Owensboro Red Devils haven’t won over 800-career games because they don’t know how to stockpile talent on the play roster. No sir, Owensboro (Senior) High routinely has some of the best talent on any roster any where in the commonwealth at any level of competition. This year doesn’t look to be any different. One of the less heralded players, Jalen Carr, might prove to be among the best. He is a six-foot corner with arms which go on for days. He uses his length well and has already fielded two offers with more certainly to come. Enjoy this look at one of the very best backend guys playing KHSAA football today.

Miles Hollon from Breathitt High is the Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @Qb1miles4, @Eli_thomas11, @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball,

July 25, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

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 2,000 yards with 21-thrown TDs as freshmen? You can count them on less than a single hand. Hollon’s frame and growth potential are big pluses for him as he is our Big Ass Fans, Kentucky Comfort Creator this week. Let’s keep it cool out there KY.

There are plenty of QBs in the KHSAA. That being said, there aren’t too many 6’4,” 210-pound QBs who throw for a couple thousand yards, enjoy a 2.5:1 TD to INT ratio, and sport 3.9-GPAs. This is a guy who looks very recruitable to us, particularly if your program has a tough admission’s committee to by-pass. Enjoy this feature on a kid very deserving of some of the world’s finest beef jerky products and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor out there in Somerset, KY.

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.

Friday Night Fletch.

Kaden Bogar, a ‘Chapter 16’ type kid on whose back championships are won and programs are built @kadenbogar79, @BelfryFootball1, @Cayden_Varney, @wolford_bo, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans

High school football will always be the land of the 6’0″ pulling guard. Programs have been built on the backs of exceptional football players at the high school level who found themselves an inch too short, 15 pounds too light, or a fraction of a second slower than the position requires. Notwithstanding these inadequacies, these guys tend to find a way to make it happen regardless. This guy today is such a guy. Now the may bloom late and grow into a larger, more suitable for D-1 type frame. For now, he is an exceptionally talented, hard nosed, football player on one of Kentucky’s premier teams vying for a championship. Enjoy the feature.

The Glue Guys; The Unsung Heroes Around KHSAA Football @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @WYMT, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @BreathittFb, @HopHighTigers

We have been familiar with the work of Craig A. Walters, a.k.a. “Blade,” and everything he has done to serve Hopkinsville High School and its sports programs over the bast half a century. We believe Walters has served the programs at Hopkinsville High, in whatever capacity is deemed needed, since his graduating from Christian County High School in 1976. What we have learned, traveling around the commonwealth covering football, is that every legitimate, successful program has a Walters-type guy. This article is in honor of Craig Walters and every other volunteer like him across our beloved Kentucky. The game we love and cherish wouldn’t be the same without your efforts. We are in your debt. Thank you.
