There is something special about high school football in Kentucky. That’s why I have committed my time to cover its teams and outstanding players across the Commonwealth. I wonder how many of you have really experienced it? I am not taking about watching high school football in a metropolitan, cultural center where the game is having to compete with the opera’s opening of La bohème or The Magic Flute. I am talking about a high school game in a community where the businesses close early to get to the stadium. I am talking about a community which draws much of its communal pride from the team’s Friday night showing. The type of town which feels invested in both the team and its players. I am talking about the type of community where any stranger on the street can name the starting right tackle or left guard, much less the quarterback. I am talking about the kind of place where the wisdom of the strategy employed, Friday night, is the topic of conversations around the liar’s table in the local diner Saturday morning.
Teams across the Commonwealth are either in Spring practice or soon to begin. It is almost April and football season opens for most of Kentucky, August 18. It will be here before you know it. Don’t miss any of the action and the opportunity to have it thoroughly dissected right here on Kentucky Prep Gridiron.

We can make this dream come true for so many young athletes working together. I’ll keep writing about them, if you will subscribe and keep reading the articles.
