’24 LB (& Redhawk commitment) demonstrated prowess on offense and defense in round one We reported on this guy and awarded him this same distinction back in August of 2023. He had a night, in the first round, we just had to reward. It isn’t everyday a 5A player contributes […]

Williamsburg High has a ‘Goodin’ at QB and he is back next season- @WhsJacketPride @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @HopkinsCentral @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas @evans02_Mike

Nate Goodin is among the more productive dual-threat QBs in the mountains and plays for, historically, one of its stronger programs. Williamsburg hasn’t been as good this year as they have been in others but, they are young, and with talent like Nate Goodin around, the Yellow Jackets figure to be in the mix going forward. Of course, the young Jackets, coached by Jerry Herron, Jr. have to attempt to survive a trip to Pikeville, Kentucky in round two. That trip to Pikeville has taken down a many Yellow Jacket football team in years gone past. Friday Night Fletch

Watch out Sayre (11-0); here come the Paris Greyhounds in round two! @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @HopkinsCentral @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas @evans02_Mike

Paris heads to Lexington, KY to take on the 11-0, Sayre Spartans, and its splendiferous sophomore QB, Luke Pennington. Pennington had thrown 37-TD passes to zero INTs entering the first round game against Harlan. However, Paris has some fine talent of its own, including ’27 signal-caller, Julius Gregory and a young head coach everyone is talking discussing (Tyquan Rice, pictured). We will take a look at this matchup, which might go a ways toward reserving a slot on Kroger Field in early December. Friday Night Fletch

Boyle’s Geordon Brown with long strike capability as Boyle downs Whitley County 41-6- @Geordon3_ @Brown7G @BCRebelFootball @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas @evans02_Mike @MontavinQuisen1 @CoachHaddix11

Every one talks about Montavin Quisenberry around the Boyle program and rightfully. However, Boyle has another athlete on its roster clipping off fully automated 10.8-second, 100-meter track times. That converts to a 40-yard dash time of 4.5-seconds (fully automated) which is blazing. This guy has averaged over 30-yards a reception this year and is second on the team in TDs receptions. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

It is playoff time around Kentucky and every team enters the playoffs with the same 0-0 record shooting for 5-0. Warrant Central starts its journey tonight when it travels to Henderson County. Let’s see if Yzir Gray can help the Dragons get off on the right foot. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to celebrate with us the services, people, and financial products which have caused a revolution in Kentucky’s banking industry. Friday Night Fletch

Manning and McNary have traveled this ‘long and winding road,’ together- @Calil McNary @_CoachManning_ @Logan_rodgers- @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @KyHighFootball @evans02_Mike @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas

In 1970, on the band’s final album, Paul McCartney wrote a song which would be the Beetles’ last number one hit entitled, “The Long and Winding Road.” It has been such a road for Central’s Calil McNary, and his head football coach Chris Manning. Enjoy this feature detailing and highlighting a remarkable talent. Friday Night Fletch.

Montavin Quisenberry (‘Q’) from Boyle County is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week- @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @HopkinsCentral @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas @evans02_Mike @MontavinQuisen1 @BCRebelFootball @CoachHaddix11

Montavin Quisenberry, or “Q” as we call him around our offices, is the best football player in Kentucky’s ’25 graduating class. We have thought this for around three years, since back in his Garrard County days, and he has done nothing to dispel this belief. His night against Frederick Douglass, we felt, was jerky worthy. We could give him this award every week. Enjoy this feature and pop some of Kentucky’s finest jerky products in your mouth and savor the flavor! #SavorTheFlavor! Friday Night Fletch.

Anyone hoping to get past Bracken County and the Polar Bears would do well to avoid the Tarter Sauce- @TarterDaulton @brackencounty @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @evans02_Mike @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas

We love to come up with something clever in the title. Daulton Tarter’s name lends itself to “Tartar Sauce” references easily and we decided to go with that. I wanted to make a “Steak Tartare” reference but Coach Lyon pointed out the spellings were significantly different. Coach Lyon really enrages me some days. Enjoy this feature. Friday Night Fletch

Gatorade’s slogan, or one of them at least is, “Is it in you?” That is a very appropriate question and one which bears on how this kid came to commit to EKU. Hensley’s father was a four year football letterman at EKU and both his parents graduated from EKU. Do you know what is in him other than a legacy to EKU? We think the Gatorade Kentucky High School Player of the Year. Give this man a Gatorade. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch

Middle School Spotlight: Bryson Johnson, the best MS football player in Kentucky, Period! End of dictation-@1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @evans02_mike @sfitz_840whas @PerryCoCentral @WYMT

This is Bryson Johnson and he is the best football player in 8th-grade anywhere in Kentucky. He forecasts as a LB, most likely, in high school but could find a home in the offensive backfield. His being omitted from ANY middle school all-star, all-state team is a gross omission. Friday Night Fletch.
