Sam Clements is among the more versatile, dual-threat QBs playing in the 6A classification. He had a very solid ’23 which has landed the rising senior on quite a few recruiting boards. Clements is looking forward to a very solid ’24 to polish off what has been a fine HS career under center. Enjoy this feature and and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor of the country’s very finest beef jerky products. Friday Night Fletch.

The Most Productive ’27 in the KHSAA’s 2023 Fall Season ( Leron Jackson) May Not Have Been Who You Would Have Guessed- @IroquoisHSFB @IroquoisAD @IROQUOIS_HS @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball @CoachKMay

Leron Jackson played for the worst team in 5A and perhaps all of Kentucky. The Raiders played 11-games and got drilled 11-times. The Raiders “high water” mark for the year was dropping a game to Trimble County on September 22 by three TDs. That doesn’t mean Keith May doesn’t have some great players in the “hopper.” Matter of fact, Coach May may (pardon the pun) be developing ’27’s premier LB and perhaps its best player at any position. His name is Leron Jackson and he had quite the freshman season. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Rohan Taylor from Henry Clay High (Lexington) returns to attempt to negotiate out of the 7th-District cellar @HCHSDevilsFB @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @HCHS_Athletics @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

Rohan Taylor returns at QB for a high school which traces its roots back to the first four-room public school built in Lexington. Taylor threw for nearly 1,000 yards and led the team in passing during a ’23 season which would experience an 0-11 work-slate with only one outcome, the 20-18 loss in the opener to Fleming County, in question. Obviously the play must improve and drastically. Is Taylor the man to lead this team through the wilderness? We think so. Enjoy this feature. Friday Night Fletch.

The Knights should be alright as long as there are some Wasiks lingering @BradyWasik @WasikJackson @CentreFootball @LexCathFootball @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball @N_Baisch42

Brady Wasik is a ’26 kid whose big brother was one Hell of a QB for the Knights over his career. Centre College, probably the most prestigious small college offer a Kentucky kid can possibly fetch, has taken the older Wasik (Jackson). Can the Colonels pick up a commitment from Brady too? Here’s to hoping…Friday Night Fletch.

Braxton Blackburn promises the Betsy Layne Bobcats will challenge for 2A supremacy, particularly in the Appalachias @BraxtonBlakbu3 @BLBobcatsFB @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS

There was a Blackburn kid who played at Paintsville High a few years back who was a fine player and a monster of a man. We have no idea of this particular Blackburn and he are related. However, we can confidently say the two of them share certain physical characteristics. This Blackburn (Braxton) is 6’3,” 275-pounds and sufficiently mobile to be a second level defender and the top returning tackler to the Bobcat defense. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Baron Hardesty, Leading the Charge(rs) Among 2026 Defenders @BECoachKendrick @BE_Chargers @hardesty_baron @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

Byron Hardesty is entering the Fall the 2nd ranked DE/LB prospect in Kentucky’s 2026 KHSAA class. He plays at a program which has emerged as a top outfit in Kentucky 6A not too far removed from a KHSAA title (2022). Talent like Hardesty ensures the Chargers are finished chasing additional championships. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Simon Rickman from Murray High is the Independence Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week @simon_rickman10 @MurrayTigerFB @murrayhighFB @Dickerson_Coach @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS

April 19, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Simon Rickman from Murray High is among the more accomplished defensive second level defenders in the Western Kentucky Conference (WKC). He made all conference a year ago and made All-State on the list of one of the major publications covering the commonwealth. We believe you will see him much more on offensive this coming season. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to get by your local Independence Bank and discover why and how our people, financial products, and services have started a revolution in the Kentucky banking industry.

Storm Warning: Kamran Harrison will be a junior in 2024 and there is a level of excellence expected from ‘Harrisons’ @HopkinsCentral @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @1776Bank @_CoachManning

April 18, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Kamran Harrison is the little brother of a Storm player who fully demonstrated his wares as a varsity football player. Kamran is outstanding and versatile like big brother. He runs track, power lifts, and contributed greatly to the finished product on the field in ’23 while just a sophomore. What will he do as a junior? It just may be mind boggling. Friday Night Fletch.

Timmy Emongo is a three phase contributor on a 5A roster and a ’27 superstar @TimmyEmongo9 @ScottCoSports @cards_football @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS

April 16, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Timmy Emongo may have been the best freshman in Kentucky in ’23. How many freshmen on nine-win, 5A ball clubs are among the team’s leading rushers, leading scorers, and housing both kick-returns and pick-sixes. Not too many. Enjoy this feature about a sprint champion who is stockpiling offers to play collegiate football as you read this article. Friday Night Fletch.

Devin Clayton, you heard the name first, right here! @CountyColonels @PureGradeA @CoachAtchley @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS

We pride ourselves on the ability to locate Kentucky-wide talent prior to anyone else. We are able to do this because we don’t wait on these prospects to attend our combine. We are out in Kentucky, with boots on the ground, where these guys live. Well here is a ’28 guy who has an FBS frae right now and he is still in 8th-grade. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.
