Fox Coons comes into the ’26 season a “favorite” to challenge for “Mr. Football.” He is 6’5,” 240-pounds and is coming off a year where he threw for over 3,300-yards and 41-TDs. Coons clocked a 4.9-second, 40-yard dash at the Best of the Midwest college combine and registered 4.83-seconds on his “pro agility shuttle.” This kid is playing at the right program too. Coach Dennis Johnson has his team contending yearly for 5A supremacy and making deep, deep playoff runs each and every November/December. Is this coming season the season where the Yellow Jackets break through and walk off Kroger field with a 5A title. Trotting Fox Coons out to run the offense is a pretty good place from which to start. Enjoy this feature.

We keep running across coaches deserving of recognition. This guy here lent a tremendous amount of credence to the proverb about acorns not falling too far from its tree. Alvis Johnson played football at Christian County High School in the 60s and went on to become a football player for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Upon graduation, Johnson came home to Hopkinsville and began as an assistant football coach at his alma mater. Thereafter, Johnson got the head coaching job at Harrodsburg where he built them into a 1A powerhouse. Johnson won over 71% of the games in which he coached, totaling 194-wins against only 77-losses with three (3) trips to the finals, losing in 1996 to Beechwood in overtime. This guy here was among the greatest track coaches in the history of the KHSAA like yesterday’s feature Ben Pumphrey. Sons Derrick and Dennis Johnson were part of Harrodsburg’s huge run of success in the ’90s and both went on to play at the University of Kentucky. Enjoy this feature.
