The Weekend’s BIGGEST upset! Week “zero” in the books (Featured Photo: Bac Totrong/Daily News)!

August 25, 2019 Henry Lyon 2

Well, week “zero” is in the books and old Coach Lyon was 63-50 this weekend. That wouldn’t be too bad if we were a major league baseball team but we aren’t accustomed to a win percentage south of 60% around KPGFootball. I literally can feel Fletcher Long out there smirking (He won with much more frequency last season). Anyway, it would help Coach’s win percentage considerably if defending State Champions could manage to beat 2-win teams from 2018 at home, where they had thrashed them last year on the road. It would also be nice if 2-win teams from Nashville, Tennessee could come up the road 50 minutes and not beat Class 5A contenders. Oh well, lots of things would be nice, I suppose. Enjoy the article more than I am enjoying my crow.

We picked our Friday night “Winners” two days ago. We promised we would come back as the weekend drew nigher and pick the Saturday “Winners” too. Now we have done just that. Let the debate rage.

It’s time for weekly winners…here are some of our predictions concerning games of interest to kick-off August 23rd…

Throughout the season we pick weekly winners. It was one of our more popular segments a year ago. This year we will decide which games we cover based on our “hits.” Read us, you get covered. Ignore us, we ignore you. These are some Friday night match-ups in areas where we get a lot of views. We will come back in and pick some interesting Saturday night games later in the week.

The Beechwood Tigers, reloading in 2019 for a new batch of quarry…

August 4, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

We thought it would be fun to look in on one of the Kings of Kentucky Football, the Beechwood High School Tigers. The boys from Fort Mitchell have put up both an enviable and unmatched record of sustained excellence which includes 3 State 1A football titles in a row (2016, 17, 18), one runner-up (2015), 5 Regional Titles and appearances in the Semis (2009, 10, 11, 12, and 14) and a regional runner-up in 2013. Over that decade the Tigers have averaged an 11-3 mark per season and won slightly over 78% of the games in which it has played. Needless to say, they don’t rebuild, they reload. How do they look in 2019? Well, let’s just see…Enjoy the article.

“Here at the Rock…” our look at Rockcastle County on the eve of the 2019 HS football season (featured photo credit: Mandy Lynch)

At KPGFootball, we just can’t think of Rockcastle County’s high school football team without thinking of Deputy Barney Fife, from the Andy Griffith Show, launching into his speech to inmates in the Mayberry County Jail which seemingly always began with, “Here at the Rock…” The boys from Mt. Vernon, Kentucky will hit you like an inmate pounding a rock with a sledge-hammer. Here’s a look at the Rockcastle Rockets and where they figure to be, personnel-wise, heading into 2019’s season.

Coach Lyon’s Class 6A preseason top-10 football poll…

July 29, 2019 Fletcher Long 2

Someone contacted old Coach Lyon and asked when we were going to put out our preseason top-10 football polls for each classification. Well, the day we were called seemed like as good a day as any to continue that tradition. Since KPGFootball started with the top classification when picking district winners, this time we started with Class 1A, then 2A, then 3A, then 4A, and yesterday we projected Class 5A. Today we give you our projections for the largest Kentucky classification, Kentucky Class 6A. We have now completed this series and hope this has peaked your interest in something we love around here with all our hearts…Kentucky High School football. Have a great season, everyone of you. We can’t wait to both watch and report on it.
