@russosb_3 who plays QB for @SVCoachHiatt’s Wildcats is the @Minguabeefjerky “Protein-packed Performer of the Week.” @PrepSpin, @KyHighFootball @1776Bank

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, and never chopped or formed like other brands, make our products superior and one of a kind. That would make our products similar to this week’s Protein Packed Performer of the Week, Russ Osborne (2024) from Pike County, Kentucky’s Shelby Valley High School, wouldn’t it? 

First of all, Shelby Valley is primarily a power run scheme. We are accustomed to running backs compiling statistics for the Wildcats from Pike County, Kentucky; just not passers.

Russ Osborne had an incredible year in every statistical category imaginable. Osborne ranked 39th all-classes, in the statewide Leading Passers category, regardless of classification. Among Class 2A QB’s, Osborne was 6th, Kentucky-wide.

This superb frosh QB had numbers, rivaling or surpassing, any freshman QB we have ever before witnessed. Osborne completed 92 of his 173-passing attempts for 1,891-yards with 22-TDs against only 7-Ints in his 11-games of action. He ran the football 77-times, gaining 580-yards, and scored another 6-TDs on the ground.

The most important statistic for QB’s will always be wins/losses. He led his charges to an 8-3 finish with the 10th-highest RPI at the close of the commonwealth-wide calculations for the 2A-classification.  

If KPGFootball would have told Coach Hiatt, a few years back, he would have to rely on a freshman to run his offense but would still win 8-games in an 11-game season, we are quite sure he would have canceled his subscription. Why do I want to follow these guys, they are quite obviously crazy, we are sure he would have either said or thought.

However, here we giving Kentucky’s most prestigious weekly award to a freshman QB who has done everything we have above mentioned. Here we all are wondering just what Russ Osborne’s numbers will look like when his career is over and he moves on to play on Saturdays.

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 Russ Osborne.
