Belfry Football

Kaden Bogar, a ‘Chapter 16’ type kid on whose back championships are won and programs are built @kadenbogar79, @BelfryFootball1, @Cayden_Varney, @wolford_bo, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans

High school football will always be the land of the 6’0″ pulling guard. Programs have been built on the backs of exceptional football players at the high school level who found themselves an inch too short, 15 pounds too light, or a fraction of a second slower than the position requires. Notwithstanding these inadequacies, these guys tend to find a way to make it happen regardless. This guy today is such a guy. Now the may bloom late and grow into a larger, more suitable for D-1 type frame. For now, he is an exceptionally talented, hard nosed, football player on one of Kentucky’s premier teams vying for a championship. Enjoy the feature.

BO-dacious; Belfry’s big-time OG! @wolford_bo, @BelfryFootball1, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @WYMT, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee

Bo Wolford is a bodacious, fine tactician at the offensive line slot. That is one heck of a compliment. He is also the KHSAA’s best interior guy blocking along any front competing at the high school level. We have followed this guy for years. Our admiration for him just continues to grow. Last year, as a junior, Bo-Bo was a first team All-Stater on the Big Ass Fans Small School team and a 2nd teamer on the Courier Journal squad. We believe he is the KHSAA’s best player at the position even though he is likely to slide out to tackle and play there this coming season. Enjoy this feature about one of our favorite players.

We have been covering Bo Wolford since he was in middle school. We have hailed him as among Kentucky’s best IOL prospects for that long. Belfry has the 6’3,” 305-pounder on the edge playing tackle. We aren’t sure he has the length to do that at the next level. Wolford’s “next level” appears to be somewhere in the NCAA’s Division I; from Ivy League, to mid-major, to (maybe) even Power Four. Regardless, there is the matter of a championship to win for Belfry High. Belfry has moved down to 2A and may not find the sledding much easier through the top of that classification which Belfry is poised to join. Enjoy this “Check-in” with one of our all-time, favorite offensive linemen.

Kentucky’s top OG (Bo Wolford) and one of the best teams in 3A (Belfry) braces for tough road trip to even its record @wolford_bo @BelfryFootball1 @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas

We believe Bo Wolford from Belfry is the best OG in the KHSAA. We have bad news for the rest of KY, he’s a ’26 so he’ll be back another year. Bo is 6’3,” and has slimmed to 285-pounds. He bench presses 345, squats 525, and carries a 4.0 GPA. He’s an FBU Adidas All-American. Enjoy the feature.

How does any program replace a Mr. Football in the offensive backfield. Well, when that program is Belfry, they do it with a young talent who has shown he won’t shy from having to fill shoes that size. It must stink having to play Belfry all the time. When does the endless wave of superior football playing talent ever ebb? Seemingly never. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Let’s check in with @rudy_blackwell from @BelfryFootball1…

We thought we would check in on a kid which Belfry (lucky them) seems to grow on trees over there. Rudy Blackwell, Jr. made our Freshman All-State Football team in 2019 and considering how he played and the numbers he put up it really wasn’t a close call. Heading into his sophomore year, if he continues to develop physically, grow a little thicker to go with his growing taller, there is really no limit to how good he can be. Could he be another Grayson Cook? Hard to say, but one has to note the physical similarities. Enjoy the article. HB.

We are going to say something here with which Isaac Dixon, who we know well, would readily agree. He doesn’t gain 228-yards rushing on 15 carries and walk away from Kroger Field with the Class 3A, State Championship Game MVP hardware without Ethan “Big E” Wolford and the rest of “Haywood’s Hogs.” In a game dominated by grown men able to move the unwilling from A to B despite the latter’s protestations, Belfry reinforces the adage one has to “run the damn football” to win games in November and December in the commonwealth of Kentucky. We are going to miss Big E.
