2019 DT, Matthew Masternak, Corbin Redhounds

June 8, 2018 Fletcher Long 0

Matthew Masternak is Masternasty. Okay, that is not the most clever pun ever but you get the point. I will tell you who else got the point…Corbin‘s 15 opponents last year. Mr. Masternak, or should we say Mr. Masternasty, anchored a defense which allowed 85 or so rushing yards per game over 15 […]

Class of 2021’s Logan Smith, Corbin

June 7, 2018 Fletcher Long 0

We here at KPGFootball do something Commonwealth-wide which has been, heretofore, unheard of in prep football coverage…we give some love to the big uglies upfront. Sure, when it is time to sign the letter of intent, all the sports writers, across the Commonwealth, come frolicking up like a bunch of star-struck teenagers trying to learn […]

Class of 2019, Chase Estep…Corbin Redhouds

Coach Justin Haddix‘s Corbin Redhounds really had it rolling last year…until they hit Boyle County in the Championship game. I mean, they beat Tennessee’s Class 3A State Champion and perennial powerhouse, Alcoa High School, in their house. They had a slight misstep on the road against Class 1A Beechwood (Hey, […]

Willie Nelson, a.k.a. The Red Headed Stranger, once penned a song entitled Blue Skies in which he wrote…Blue birds singin’ a song/Nothin’ but blue skies from now on…I have no idea the motivation of Shotgun Willie in writing and then cutting a huge hit with those lyrics. There are two things I do know; […]
