Storm Warning: Central drops a winnable road game in Russellville but has to turn it around quickly as 3A finalist from last year (Union County, 3-3) is headed for “The Gap” @LasatersCoffee, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning

The Storm welcomes a district one heavyweight to Morton’s Gap this Friday night. Union County comes to Morton’s Gap fresh off a finals appearance in 2024 and a 21-14 win over a Hancock County team coming off an 8-win campaign a year ago and 4-1 entering the contest with Union last weekend. This is a daunting task but certainly not an undoable one. An upset here would be so huge. We have the personnel and ability to deliver such an upset but we have to be on our game, healthy, and playing mistake free/penalty free (pre-snap/composure) football to prevail. Come on out to Morton’s Gap this weekend and take in this first district clash. For all intents and purposes, the real season starts tomorrow night.

William Shakespeare once mused “What’s in a name?” Well there is something in a name and as a fellow “Fletcher” I would profess Union County’s Abreyan “Abe” Fletcher is doing more with the name than I ever did. We are going to look at this special three (3) phase contributor and whether he can take the Braves back to Lexington to get another bite at the apple. Along the way, we may have a little fun with the etymology of the name the two of us share. Enjoy the feature.

Well, it is time for us to pick the 3A classification and how it will “shake out” this coming Fall. We could take the coward’s way out and pick last year’s champion, Christian Academy-Louisville, to repeat. Instead, we took the coward’s way out and picked eight-time title holder, Belfry. Enjoy.
