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

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.

Henry Morgan from Henry Clay showing tremendous promise for a program ready for improvement @HCHSDevilsFB, @coachhawkins1, @HCBluedevilsMBB, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

Henry Morgan plays for a program which has seen better days. Henry Clay High won a 4A title in 1981 and played for a second one in 1995. That was when there weren’t but four (4)-classifications. The Blue Devils are ready to get this ship righted and have brought in a proven “program builder” in Phil Hawkins. With talent like Henry Morgan entering his junior season, it won’t be too hard for the Blue Devils to keep it comfortable out there around district 7. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it cool out there Kentucky!

It is the scourge of athletics today. Parents ignoring all sense or propriety to play their kids in the first string of an athletic contest regardless of merit. We see it causing fights and discord all over the place. Here is an analysis of the problem and how it may be fixed. FL.

Storm Warning: Isac Earl maybe the best athlete attending Hopkins County Central @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

If you were to look at all the ways Isac Earl contributed to Central’s bottom line over his junior season, you may draw the conclusion we did. He led the team in passing, led the team in receiving, led the team in scoring, was among the leaders in rushing, tackles, TFLs, and FFs. That is a ton of leadership out of one position. The 5’8,” 165-pound dynamo may be the Storm’s best all-around athlete on the roster not named “Gunn.” Enjoy this feature about a young man who brings on the stormy weather for Central foes.

Pabst deserves his own blue ribbon for his sophomore season @Liamtoml, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @BeechwoodFB, @beechwood_tiger

One of our favorite songs used to proclaim loving “red necks, white sox, and blue ribbon beer.” The blue ribbon beer was a reference to Pabst Blue Ribbon, a famous brand of alcoholic beverage. We don’t know if the Pabst family who son is a stud ’27 football player in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky bears any type relation to the Pabst family from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Then again, we don’t know that they don’t. What we do know is Nathan Pabst is dad-burn good at football and he makes his team all the better when he contributes his considerable efforts. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Slow Motion Replay: Remembering how Ed proved a Miracle for the Golden Bulldogs of Lynch East Main High @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball

February 10, 2025 Fletcher Long 2

Some of you may not remember Lynch East Main High. If you don’t, you may not remember its legendary, Hall of Fame football coach Ed Miracle. At KPGFootball, we remember everything and take our responsibility as the recorders of KHSAA football history very seriously. Join us now as we remember a guy who retired from coaching in 1992 with a pedigree of success and championships. Yessir, Ed’s career was a Miracle.

BJ Evans, 2026 RB, from Tates Creek (Lexington) is this week’s @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator @BJ_Evans5, @minguabeefjerky, @TC_CommodoresFB, @kyhighfootball

February 7, 2025 Fletcher Long 3

We selected BJ Evans to our Large School All-State Football Offense this past season as only a junior. Rushing for 1,799-yards on 194-carries, scoring 20-TDs and averaging 9.3-yards per carry against Lexington 6A competition will garner one some notice. What will Evans do for an encore? Challenge for the Mr. Football Award and a repeat appearance on our all-state team would be solid guesses. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it cool out there Kentucky!
