@oscaravila2025 from @CchsTouchdown is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week. @RatpackCalloway @1776Bank @PrepSpin @MaxPreps @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 ’25, K/P, Oscar Avila from Murray, Kentucky’s Murray High School, wouldn’t it?    

One doesn’t have to look too far back in the pantheon of football to find examples of the difference a place kicker can make in a football game. Just go back a few weeks to this year’s NFL playoffs and monitor how many time the PK provided the margin of victory.

Kickers are sometimes referred to as the players even the QBs admire. That would fit this week’s recipient.

Calloway County had a tough year in ’21. No one, going into the year, believed the Lakers wouldn’t be in the playoffs at years end.

Although going 3-7, there is some reason to feel a sense of enthusiasm concerning the direction of the program. There is no greater reason for enthusiasm than having a place-kicker/punter coming off the freshman year Oscar Avila had in ’21.

Avila, a ’25 prospect, is built like a linebacker. At 6-2, 229-pounds, he looks like he is auditioning for play in the other two phases of football apart from special teams.

Over his freshman season, the kicking phenom hit 20 of 25 attempted PATs and converted one in four of his FG attempts. He was among the club leaders in points scored and has hit a 50-yarder, from off the ground, in practice, demonstrating his range.

This kid has a big leg and will be one heck of a weapon for this team going forward in ’22. He’s like finding money in the pocket of your dry cleaning.

We thought it would be appropriate to feature Oscar Avila in this article. We also found his efforts deserving of nourishment. 

Mingua Beef Jerky agreed this young man could use a bolt of protein. They volunteered to send him some straight away.

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 Calloway County High School’s Oscar Avila. 

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