Storm Warning: The Storm needs a strong year out of Kamran Harrison @LasatersCoffee, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning

Kamran Harrison is a “Harrison.” There are those of you who have followed this program for many years who will not need the first statement explained. Kamran is a kid who was expected to do big things last season, and was doing big things, until injury derailed his season. Having him return to the lineup fully healthy makes the Storm a better ball club. The Storm don’t get players as good as Kam Harrison everyday. When the program gets a Kam Harrison, it is important to make it count. Enjoy this edition of Storm Warning.

Storm Warning: Aaron Wells, ’27 OL/DL, is itching to prove he belongs on the first string @KatherineL58069, @LasatersCoffee, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning, @evans02_mike

Wells played in a single game in ’24. However, the 6’3,” 330-pounder in the 2027 graduating class proved the old Stanislavski adage about there being no small parts, just small actors is true even in football. Wells is coming off a third place finish at the Kentucky Powerlifting Meet in the Super Heavyweight Division and the young OL/NG is expected to play both ways this season in addition to his defensive role. This is a guy readying for a prominent role in ’25, a leading role, and he has put in the type offseason a young player should looking for that type of varsity PT. Enjoy the feature.

Storm Warning: Connor Miles (’28 two-way lineman) is a man with many talents, many skills and entering the season healthy @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

The high school game is a game where we don’t see a ton of 6’5,” 225-pound lineman, but we are generally excited when we do. This is a kid who excelled, this offseason, at powerlifting and that is generally a very good sign. It is the game for the “Chapter 16” type kids and some of your more traditional types; the Football Playing Jesses out there. If these referenced 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. Connor Miles will help anchor the Storm front this coming year. He appears well equipped to handle the assignment. Enjoy the feature.

The high school game is a game where the 5’8,” 240-pounder may flourish. It is his game. It is the game for the “Chapter 16” type kid, the Football Playing Jesse. If these referenced 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.

Alexander Schuster from Trinity High is the Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @alexschuster69, @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @CoachVanderpool, @Aspirationsgym, @TrinityHSFB

Alexander Schuster looks to battle it out for a slot along the interior offensive line for Kentucky’s premier high school football program. It is hard to find the field for Trinity until your junior season no matter who you are. Schuster has worked his tail off and has bided his time. It is his day. Trinity is coming off a 13-2 season and yet another 6A KHSAA football title. All told, Trinity has won 29-championships and favored to make it 30. Schuster’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.

Storm Warning: Khristian Scott is looking to meet opponents at the cross roads this season… @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

July 17, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Khristian Scott has “the look.” He is 6’3,” in the neighborhood of 265, and has a glare that would make a stranger want to cross the street just to get away from him. We need more tough guys like him manning the lines of scrimmage in Morton’s Gap. Enjoy this exclusive look at a player who will factor in heavily in the Storm’s seasonal prospects.

Storm Warning, with nothing left but some Sevens throws, two scrimmages, and the opener what should we see from the Storm in ’25? @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

It is that time of year. We are all coming out of the “Dead Period” and we want to know how our hometown, high school football team is likely to fare in the coming season? We have taken an in-depth look into one of our favorite teams, Hopkins County Central, and have attempted to forecast that very thing. Enjoy this breakdown of the Storm’s team and upcoming season. Let’s brace for the glorious season ahead enjoying this country’s greatest and most significant export.

Storm Warning: Kaijain Hayes back for his sophomore season looking to fulfill his immense promise @CoachJRiley_, @hayes_kaijain, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

KJ Hayes came up from middle school with tremendous promise. We predicted he would start varsity as a freshman. We were right. Hayes was put into the starting lineup after the opener where he remained until being lost to injury the fifth game of the year. Hayes has rehabbed this injury, reports being back 100%, and is looking forward to getting back on the field and giving his all to the fans, his teammates, and brothers. We predict a break out year for Cajun Hayes in ’25 and believe as he goes, so goes the Storm to a large extent. Enjoy this feature about a kid who plays an important role on this team and a guy about whom you may have well forgotten.

Storm Warning: Look out for a pretty common name around Morton’s Gap, Collin Phaup @HopkinsCentral, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @CountyMustangs, @_CoachManning, @phaup40001

June 26, 2025 Fletcher Long 1

If you are a fan of the Storm, the surname “Phaup” isn’t an unfamiliar one. Collin is a ’29 guy and his varsity journey looks to get under way this coming Fall. Elizabeth Phaup is a known commodity who has just wound up her varsity tenure playing soccer for The Storm. From what we hear from our agents around Hopkins County, if you are excited about what Collin Phaup may bring to the playing field this Fall, you should be. Phaup is another of the 29’s we expect will see considerable playing time when the season opens in mid-August. If he does hit the stardom pay dirt, he will be following in his big sister’s footsteps. Enjoy the feature.

Storm Warning: Dallas Kinlaw has put in the time and is ready for the show @jasonhenc3, @Aspirationsgym, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @HopkinsCentral

We regularly keep up with rosters by asking agents of ours to monitor players as they lift, condition, and develop. We got a call from our Hopkins County guy and he was raving about Dallas Kinlaw. Kinlaw is a RB/LB combo guy who got a couple games of run in ’24. In spite of the limited run, Kinlaw still registered four (4) tackles. Not shabby for a freshman. Kinlaw has killed it this offseason. We don’t have a picture of him which is recent and he doesn’t appear to have either a Hudl page or X-Account. He will have to remedy that. If what we are hearing about this guy is correct, Kinlaw will want to have the means for schools to find him and evaluate his film. Enjoy this look at an up and comer who is coming right along.
