@LaytonDavis4 Class of ’23 from @CaldwellCoFB is the @minguabeefjerky ‘Protein-packed Performer’ of the week! @PrepSpin @MaxPreps @1776Bank @KyHighFootball

Ronnie Mingua began experimenting with making beef jerky back in the 1990s. He shared his efforts with neighbors and friends, soon realizing he had come up with something different and superior to all other beef jerkies on the market. From these humble beginnings, Mingua Beef Jerky got its start.    

Today, the Mingua Beef Jerky Company still prides itself on using its old-fashioned, all-natural recipes which offer outstanding products to customers across the nation. The recipes are a family tradition, passed down from generation to generation.  

Migua Beef Jerky uses Enviro-Pac CHU-2000 equipment to cook its meat to USDA required levels for both moist or dry operation. Mingua Beef Jerky wants you to become one of its many satisfied customers by sampling its quality hand sliced, all natural beef jerky. We know you’ll love it and come back for more, again and again. 

Our recipes and our quality ingredients, hand-cut from solid pieces of beef, are never chopped or formed like other brands, making our products superior and one of a kind. That would make our products similar to this week’s Protein Packed Performer, Class of ’23, OL/DL, Layton “Drew” Davis from Princeton, Kentucky’s Caldwell County High School, wouldn’t it?  

First of all, and foremost, both Mingua Beef Jerky Company and KPGFootball send out their heartfelt concern for the survivors of what is being called “the worst tornado in Kentucky history.” There are so many people impacted it would be impossible to even know where to send our love first.

One of the communities impacted, and severely, was Davis’ Princeton, Kentucky. If you haven’t been to Princeton, it is one of the rare jewels which adorn the diadem that is our great commonwealth. All of us send out prayers to the communities so severely effected.

Sometimes the best medicine for tragedy is to go along and carry out your daily chores and responsibilities in the hopes it will take people’s minds off of the situation, if only for a few moments. In that vain, Mingua Beef Jerky and KPGFootball are soldiering on in the hopes our efforts may bring some “sunshine” into our readers’ days.

Just know you are in our hearts and prayers. Just remember we love you and stand ready to assist when called upon to the best of our joint abilities. As for this week’s jerky recipient, today we feature a player we believe to be among the very best interior defensive linemen in his or any graduating class competing in the high school game.

His name is Layton “Drew” Davis. He played this past season for the Caldwell County Tigers.

Davis is 6-0 and weighs 260-pounds which he wears like it is 220. If you know anything about large athletes, particularly those who play football, that is a prized characteristic. 

Davis, No. 55, against had a tremendous game last season in a game critically important to his team’s ’21 season. Against Murray High, a game we would have never picked his Tigers to win by the way but which they did, Davis had 9-tackles and one of the team’s five (5) TFLs. He’s was doing all of that along the interior with his hand in the dirt and the focus of the opponents’s scouting report.

On the year, Davis had 82-stops, 22-TFLs, 2-FRs, and 4 QB-sacks. Again, he played with his hand in the dirt along the defensive interior. If you will go back and look at the recent feature we did on Jack Jackson from South Warren, you will see why we would pick those two to play along the interior of our four down. That is assuming we were fielding a team and wanting to (actually) win the football game.

Davis registered the type production we have herein detailed. He slipped up on exactly no one. 

Let me translate all of that for you. This kid is a Kentucky High School, first team, All-State defensive lineman this year. He will likely be one next year too.

Join us next week as we honor another worthy player. Until then, pop some Mingua Beef Jerky in your mouth and savor the quality and flavor which sets it apart from all the competition. Remember, our product is superior and one of a kind; just like Caldwell County High School’s, Layton “Drew” Davis. 

This is HB Lyon reporting for Kentucky Prep Gridiron reminding you that WE’RE JUST CALLING IT LIKE WE SEE IT!
