Lincoln Acree, from Graves County High, wins a second Protein-packed Performer Award from @minguabeefjerky @Lincoln_Acree @GracieAcree @Jody_Acree @coach_debo @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball

Lincoln Acree won this award this past offseason for an incredible outing at the Rivals camp in Atlanta. Once the season commenced, the stud athlete was up to his old tricks. When you play for Graves County, a win over Mayfield doesn’t happen everyday so it should be celebrated and rewarded.

Friday Night Fletch.

Mr. B with the fantastic opener, rockets to the top of the linebacker list @PCCHSFootball, @NoahCreigh, @WYMT @KyHighFootball, @sfitz_840whas, @840WHAS, @AlPopsFootball

We called him the best middle school football player in Kentucky last season. If the opener is an indication, we couldn’t have been any more on the money than we were with Bryson “Mr. B.” Johnson. Johnson had 16-tackles, 1.5-TFLs in the opener against a really good Somerset squad. While Perry County Central fans would have much preferred a different outcome, they still were enthused about the play of the young, freshman, LB.

Deven Leclercq from Southwestern High rising to the top of the Bigs in his class @JasonFoley22 @jherron_5 @Southwestern_FB @12thSports @CoachRenoYale @CoachJanecek

Deven Leclercq from Southwestern High is a lineman about whom we warned you this time last year. He was coming off an impressive freshman campaign and entering his sophomore season among the very best the class of ’26 had to offer. A year later, he hasn’t done anything to dampen our enthusiasm about his next level prospects. Enjoy the feature.

Gray Schmittel, from North Oldham, taking versatility to the extreme @gray_schmittel, @NOHSFball, @BDRoberts20, @AlPopsFootball

We have been focusing on versatility this offseason. We can’t think of a more versatile specimen than a guy who successfully stars in three varsity sports. This guy is ranked among the Derby City’s very best and is already sporting an offer to play at DePauw in Indiana. We love the Monon Bell Classic. Just thought we would throw that in there.

Preseason scrimmages: What do they mean? What do they tell us? @KyHighFootball @AlPopsFootball

We used to say when I was in the law game that nobody knows all the answers but that a wise man knows where the answers may be found. When I need perspective I have a text group I consult. These guys are either already in the KHSAA Hall of Fame or headed there immediately upon becoming eligible. I got a couple to weigh-in on the relative importance of preseason scrimmages and this is what the two gentlemen had to offer. Friday Night Fletch.

Scouting Report: Russellville Next Scrimmage Up Before Season Starts; Transfer Rumors[?]

August 15, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

We are steamrolling into the season opener on August 23rd. There is still the matter of a scrimmage against the Russellville Panthers. The Panthers were an extremely young, inexperienced team a year ago. These guys are always athletic and the added experience should indicate a different Panther squad than the one we saw limp to a 2-9 finish in 2023. Enjoy this “scouting report.” Friday Night Fletch.
