William Long exits like he entered; a winner @CentreFootball, @williammlong

February 23, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

William Long has been featured many times on this forum which was partly created to publicize and support his efforts in the game of football from his middle school days forward. He never asked to be covered and, truthfully, William would have much preferred we not write about him. It has been a somewhat constant source of discord between us, truthfully. The problem has always been that William just kept accomplishing incredible things worthy of the “ink.” Yesterday, on his last official day as a football player, he did it a final time. Enjoy this feature about an athlete who made it a common, everyday, experience to bedazzle and bewilder us with the many accomplishments attributed to him through his many years as a football player.

BJ Flowers appears (to us) to be blooming @itsbjflowers, @malehighschool, @MaleBulldogs, @CoachMarcAClark, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans

BJ Flowers is like many young, talented athletes attending big-time, 6A schools with powerhouse football programs. Some of these guys struggle to see the field until their junior years. Flowers is a ’27 whose work on the JV was noteworthy. We believe Flowers is poised to make a splash in the Male defense this coming Fall. He has the skills. He has the tools. Does he have the “want to?” Only time will tell for sure. Enjoy this feature about a kid who is ready to make his move in ’25.

JaCaryous Perryman from @FC_FALCONS_FB is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

February 21, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

One doesn’t get much more versatile than Fort Campbell’s JaCaryous “JP” Perryman. Last season, as a junior (’26), Perryman rushed for 603-yards, housed seven (7)-TDs rushing, completed 62-passes for 912-yards and 13-TDs, caught four (4) passes for 62-yards and a TD, housed eight two-pointers, registered 20-tackles, forced two fumbles, recovered one, and picked a pair of passes for 5-IRNYs. Say all of that three times really fast. The guy is a fantastic athlete who competes in multiple sports for his high school which competed at a high level a year ago in winning half its games. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it cool out there Kentucky!

We have been hitting the history of the game we love better than any other this offseason pretty hard. Thing is, if we don’t do this then who will? We are telling you about players, coaches, and events which are such a rich part of the fabric of the KHSAA that they deserve to be told, they deserve preservation. This is another of those today. Today, we highlight a guy who is among the best QBs to ever grace the playing service on Morton’s Gap. Ladies and gentlemen…the great Mike Evans.

Ross Powers is a 5’7,” 190 pound football playing stud entering his senior year for the Hancock County Hornets. What did he do as a junior? Well he registered 162-tackles, 14-TFs, 3-sacks, 3-FFs, 3-FRs. That is quite a mouthful. Enjoy this look at the star MLB for Coach Bob Eubanks’ Hornet’s nest from Lewisport, Kentucky.

Timmy Williams from Trigg County High ready to rebound from injury @TriggFootball, @CoachEzell45, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @KyHighFootball

February 18, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Timmy Williams, a ’28 athlete and quarterback, came out of the middle school ranks among the more ballyhooed prospects the western Kentucky MS ranks could muster. Williams was off to a fast start when he got derailed by injury in the second week. If this guy can stay healthy, he could have a really solid sophomore campaign. So could the Trigg County Wildcats who have stepped down to 2A and will now face Mighty Mayfield on a yearly basis.

Slow Motion Replay: Remembering Trigg County’s George Radford @TriggFootball, @CoachEzell45, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @KyHighFootball

February 17, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

George Radford was among the greatest the Trigg County Wildcats ever put on a gridiron, a baseball diamond, or even a hardwood court. He was also a college letterman in football, an accomplished student, who became a wonderful coach, teacher, administrator, and now a businessman and entrepreneur. This guy could do it all. Join us now as we go over the fine career of George Radford and its impact on the KHSAA.

Blast from the Past: Breaking News…@HerdFB has added the biggest bull @DarionDearinger, @HerdFB, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

February 17, 2025 Henry Lyon 0

We were very pleased to get to break this news. Darion Dearinger, who was our top rated DE in Kentucky, decided to sign with Marshall’s Thundering Herd. Dearinger was derailed by injuries outside of his control but he was poised to threaten to start as a freshman at Marshall and was almost sure to start sometime his sophomore season. We believe this guy was headed for the league. He is a wonderful young man, from a wonderful family, and his star shines mighty brightly regardless. Enjoy this blast from the past.

Blast from the Past: Mike Holcomb, from @MCentral_FB, Wins No. 300! @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @MaxPreps

February 16, 2025 Henry Lyon 2

Coach Holcomb is a quirky, unique guy who deflects praise and criticism like its the Covid or the “Monkey Pocks.” However, “Old Holc” as we call him around the magazine has gone and accomplished something we aren’t willing to ignore. Congratulations Coach, from your friends at KPGFootball.

Blast from the past: @JohnCarterMyer1 from @scottie_glasgow is a ‘Football Player,’ from a football background. He has the ‘Scotties’ looking strong heading into the playoffs. @GlasgowDogPound @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @1776Bank @Gtown_Football

We wrote this article about John Carter Myers a few years ago. It was an HB Lyon piece about the son of a famous, high school football coach. John Carter was on a visit to Centre College when this was first penned. He ended up signing with Georgetown College where he is now a 6’2,” 210-pound linebacker. He gets plenty of play and makes plenty of plays. Looks like we hit the nail on the head here.
