And so it begins…July 22…

Today, all over Kentucky, is the first day teams have been able to wear what the KHSAA calls “shells.” What gear constitutes “shells” is set out in Bylaw 23 and its subparts. “Shells” are defined as shorts, helmet, and shoulder pads. Judging from some social media postings we have viewed in advance of today, some of you were confused as to exactly when you could add shoulder pads to your practice equipment. We watched one middle school video of a member school practicing in “shells” last week. Anyway, the donning of shoulder pads means different things to different players so we sent out a query to some of Kentucky’s best high school players to see what, if anything, it signified to them. This article contains what we received back from some of the players asked.

The season creeps up on us more and more daily. Monday, teams will be permitted to don what we call “shells” in football. Starting Monday, we will be putting on shoulder-pads to go along with the helmets we have been wearing since “Dead Period” ended. As the openers approach, one team we believe will be a favorite to win District 8 in Class 2A is Shelby Valley. Players returning like Dalton Meade is the reason why the prospects for the Wildcats from Pikeville, Kentucky look so rosy. Enjoy the article about one of the Mountain’s best back-four defensive players and one of its most versatile backfield weapons.

At KPGFootball, we do more than just report on the football players about whom everyone under the son is giddy. We go out and find the players BEFORE our competitors have even heard of them. Today’s article is a perfect example of our network of informants. Everyone thinks of Boudreaux as either a RT or RG on offense. How many of you knew no one of the offensive roster has been able to block him in practice for the past two years? You will see way more of Boudreaux on the field at the “Other End” spot opposite Darion Dearinger this coming season. Remember who told you of it first. HB
