There is a storm brewing in Richmond, Kentucky! Brady Hensley and Kenyatta Hardge are “Thunder and Lightening”

July 5, 2019 Fletcher Long 1

We have heard thunder only happens when it is raining. We have also heard where there is thunder there is also lightening. Well, opponents of Caudill Middle School have been experiencing some terrible weather over the past three seasons. The two backs we have featured today, Kenyatta “Thunder” Hodge and Brady “Lightening” Hensley, are the most dynamic and productive backfield in Kentucky’s Class of 2024. Enjoy the article. HB.

Grayson’s offer, which was in the mail the whole time, was finally delivered…Grayson Cook offered by Air Force

You know what we encounter at KPGFootball too many times? Parents inordinately anxious about whether their son will be offered a football scholarship. We have talked to many a father on the brink of despair. For some of these fathers, their level of anxiety is both unwarranted and, frankly, ridiculous, if we are being completely honest. Let this article be a lesson to every Kentucky prospect our there with the dream of playing on Saturdays. You keep handling the parts over which you have control and leave the rest to the experts. Your level of football will find you, will invite you to camp, and will want you. It is out there for you. Don’t despair! Enjoy this article about a kid who was considerably anxious but now is entering his senior campaign on top of the world. We always said he would get there, ask him if we didn’t. HB.

Preston Spurlock, Class of 2021, Leslie County’s hit-man (Featured Photo: Larry Robinson, BSN)

Preston Spurlock is one of our favorite players commonwealth-wide and someone we have selected to our All-State team two straight years. He is someone for whom opposing coaches have to plan to contain. Failure to game-plan him is costly. We call him around the Magazine either the Mountain Hit-Machine, or the Leslie County Hit-Man. Yeah, we’re pretty clever. Enjoy this article which will fully explain the high regard in which we hold this guy who will play on Saturdays should he wish.

Devin Kilgore, Class of 2020, Caldwell County HS

July 2, 2019 Henry Lyon 1

There is a player listed on the Caldwell roster as wearing No. 63 and slotted at both offensive center and defensive end. This guy doesn’t exist within the public record outside of being awarded the Farmers Bank “Player of the Week” on YourSportsEdge.com. We hope we aren’t being “Cat-fished” here; but, if we aren’t, and if there is such a person who played as well as the 2018 stats indicate, he has to be considered one of the best DEs in western-Kentucky entering the 2019 football season. We suppose time will tell. HB

Anthony Johns is a bull rumbling at the head of the herd

June 30, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

At KPGFootball we admire the players who kind of have to work for stardom and then do. Anthony Johns has a good frame which appears likely to still be lengthening but his is not the best OL frame we have seen. However, his attention and dedication to strengthening, conditioning, and doing even the little things the right way is among the best we have seen. There aren’t any players in the Class of 2022 which work any harder than this one. Enjoy the article about a young man who so richly deserves anything good which comes his way.

Braxton O’Hara, Class of 2021, a dual threat guy causing headaches for defenses all over the Mountains

June 29, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

Folks, the Bobcats are rounding back into the most fearsome team on most people’s schedule and have the chance to be really special in 2019. Braxton O’Hara is just one of the reasons. This is a team which we believe will run the regular season table in 2019. Should they be able to get by Leslie County twice, and handle Beechwood High School and CAL, this may be Mayfield’s opponent at Kroger Field with a title on the line. Remember where you heard it first.

Garrard County’s Hayes Preston, Class of 2025, proof of Team Kentucky’s fallibility

June 27, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

Hayes Preston didn’t make the Team Kentucky Future Stars-6th grade team but was an alternate. We know what Hayes can do and we still believe him to be among the very best football players in Kentucky in his graduating class. We can say this because look at everything else he has done. Not everyone in football thrives in shorts and shirts running around cones. Some people need to pad-up and thud-up for the evaluator to get a complete and accurate look at what the kid can do as a football player. We think our buddy, Ricco Hughes, missed one here. We miss on far more guys than he does. Nobody’s perfect, though he is pretty close.

Jo Byrns High School’s Bobby Ogg is the Stewart Williams Company’s Robertson County Player of the Week

June 27, 2019 Fletcher Long 0

This Stewart Williams Company Robertson County Player of the Week is Bobby Ogg, who may be one of the finest all-around athletes at Jo Byrns between baseball, basketball, and football. Ogg, who is primarily a PK but can play OLB will be entering his senior year in the Fall of 2019 and figures to give Red Devil fans something to cheer. You know a sure three inside the Red Zone, avoiding an empty trip, will win a HS team quite a few games. We don’t feature the specialists enough in my opinion. Games are either won or lost on special teams. Enjoy this article brought to you by the fine folks at your locally owned, hometown Stewart Williams Furniture Company. Don’t forget to stop by again next week as we crown another deserving recipient.

Class of 2020 Tyquez Douglas, Clarksville NE High School, is the Meeks and Meeks Montgomery County Player of the Week

June 27, 2019 Fletcher Long 0

We are sure Christian County was none too pleased about Tyquez Douglas moving to Clarksville, Tennessee. After all, not a lot of back-end protection the quality of Tyquez Douglas just hanging around Western Kentucky rosters even in the 5A Classification. Oh well, the Eagles of NorthEast High School seem intent on taking full advantage of what amounts to quite a boon for its program. Enjoy this looks at this submission of the Montgomery County Player of the Week and join us next week as we crown a new recipient.

Ethan Phillips, Highland Middle, Class of 2024, a stalwart for his class along the line of scrimmage

June 27, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

We got a note from someone advocating our doing a feature on this particular player. With his having played on two successful and victorious Team Kentucky Future Stars it was easily time to be featuring him. The person sending us the information said “He may not be feature material, but I think he’s a name worth remembering.” Well, we couldn’t disagree with you more about the first part. We absolutely think he’s “feature material.” In fact, here’s his feature right here. Enjoy the article. HB.
