This kid literally came from nowhere to make our Sophomore All-State Football team in 2019. Now he has people wondering aloud if he isn’t Kentucky’s top QB-prospect in the 2022-class to go along with that class’s top Safety. Enjoy this look at an athletic anomaly. HB.
Every season someone comes out of virtually nowhere to have a killer year. We saw this when Breathitt’s Caden Hogg came out his senior year with an All-State caliber year after having spent most of his time, before then, warming the bench. Will Ethan Gipson pull a Caden Hogg? Well…he just might! Enjoy the article. HB.
Sawyer Hall, Class of 2025 has all the markings of a future football elite player. In fact, we’re going to go ahead and call it now. What makes us so sure? Well, you will just have to read the article to discover the basis for our belief. You may learn our prognosis is far from just guess-work. Enjoy the article. HB.
KPGFootball was contacted by one of Kentucky’s more decorated rising seniors, William Long, of Breathitt County High School. He said he wanted to go on the record about the Top-30 Preseason Offensive-Line selections. This article is what he had to say…HB.
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.
In the business of covering Kentucky High School football we have a term we call “Championship Level Defense.” What we say about it is simply a Kentucky high school football team will never win a championship without playing defensively like a champion. Go back through your favorite team’s statistics and see whether you team played defensively commensurate with championship level play. What is championship level defensive play? Well, this article will tell you. HB.
We got to travel to Jackson, Kentucky this past Friday night and take in the game on “The Riverbank” between Breathitt County and Walton-Verona. The following is what KPGFootball thought of the game with the Bearcats from Walton-Verona and what it thinks of Breathitt’s chances against Somerset this coming Friday […]
Charles Andrew “Genny” Collins is on the cusp of eclipsing a Kentucky High School rushing record for yards per rushing attempt over the course of a year. The mark is presently held by Taveon Hunter who averaged 16.47-yards per rushing attempt over the course of 78-carries. The mark was formerly held by Ryan Timmons of Franklin County who averaged 15.73-yards per carry the year he set the record. What is Geeny doing? We have it for you right inside this article.
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. We will start with a DE from Anderson County for which there will be little to any debate.
When writing features and covering Kentucky high school football, many publications exclusively cover players on the really good teams. Well, there are players on rosters for teams who struggle. The difference between the rosters of teams doing well versus those who aren’t is often the number of good players the roster contains. Blake Whitaker for Knott County Central is a very good football player. Enjoy this feature about a player who (without us) may get both overlooked and underexposed.
