There are excellent players on literally every Kentucky High School Roster. Quintel Thomas is very good evidence of the phenomenon. Enjoy this look at a kid who tore it up in ’22 and appears to us definitely headed to “Saturday” football. We hope he stays in Kentucky. HB.
Mason Sulla may have been a name you hadn’t heard when the Associated Press announced its ’21 All-State Football team. However, there is a difference between the casual football fan and a working member of the Kentucky press corp. Mason Sulla is a name with which we in the press corp are intimately familiar and you will be too after reading this feature. HB.
Lucas Hughes is a late-developer who is really coming on this his senior season. Fact is, the 6-4 270-pounder is rendering an All-State caliber performance. Enjoy this look at a prospect we absolutely love at KPGFootball. HB.
AP nominations feel close to commencing. Who will win the last team to report’s “Mr. Football?” Well, we wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out to be this guy.
There is no better time than the present to anoint another Independence Bank Player of the Week.

Five of our KPGFootball All-Staters were awarded certificates last night (with Jaylen Turner not pictured) by the Breathitt County Board of Education. Congratulations boys and thanks to the BOE for recognizing their considerable achievement. HB.
Just to give you an idea the role Kentucky Prep Gridiron plays in the promotion of the kids we cover, we thought it would be neat to look at this year’s AP All-State Football Team and see just how many of them have, either formerly or presently, make one of our All-State Teams. The results were illuminating. HB.
Gough is used to doing things well before anyone thinks he can. He started at one of Kentucky’s premier high-school programs as a freshman, he set the school’s single-season tackle mark as a sophomore, he made the AP All-State Football First-Team as a sophomore. The list just never seems to end. When he broke his leg the projections were he would be through for the year. Well, in keeping with Gough tradition, he was cleared to return to action in game 9. This makes him available for the playoffs, rested and full speed. Owensboro, at 8-1, was winning even without its marquee superstar. Imagine what they will do in the playoff run with him. Boggles the mind, doesn’t it?
There is no better time than the present to anoint another Independence Bank player of the week. Independence Bank is proud to sponsor a weekly article highlighting players in the areas where Independence Bank flourishes who embody the same type of revolutionary service to their respective football teams which has made Independence Bank unique and special in the banking industry. This week’s recipient is a player who didn’t suit up last week, and we believe that to be a first for this particular award. Join us next week as we designate another worthy award winner.
It is getting time to start thinking about All-State selections. When it comes to voting on the All-State team (AP), we nominate guys positionally for inclusion. What we mean by that is when the AP asks for five linemen we nominate a center, two guards, and two tackles. The way we treat it is who would we want if this mythical team were going to play a game against another team and we really, really wanted to win. When we are asked for 4 defensive linemen, for instance, we give two DEs and two interior guys for the mythical defensive line. We nominate two safeties and two corners for the back end, so on and so forth. Our criteria is a simple one, our first-team player would have to be good enough to transfer anywhere in Kentucky and be first team wherever he landed at the position at which he is being nominated. With that as a working criteria, which isn’t going to change, we will feature, from now through the opening of the ballot, players we believe fit that bill and some we believe are second-teamers, and even some we believe should be Honorably Mentioned. Today we are featuring a football player’s, football player in the Class of 2020’s Cade Bleidt from Cadiz, Kentucky. We love him. High School football teams are made off of players like him. He will be nominated for the All-State team by us. On which string he lands, or whether he merits just an Honorable Mention (which is still quite an honor), is something the voters will have to decide.
