We believe the Hazard Bulldogs are well positioned to do something very special this season. We have crunched the numbers, studied the data, prepared ourselves diligently to tell you the following: The Bulldogs just might take this thing this year and we are going to be there to cover it. Enjoy this trip with us as well travel through the ’25 season and let’s just see where this trek ends. Our best guess…Lexington, KY. It will be quit a ride.

It is that time of year. It is time to start figuring which teams, entering the ’25 season, figure to factor in the title chase. We have detailed what we think here and it is based on our study of the incoming, ’25 rosters, what players return, what players graduated, and other various factors we have perfected through the years to render such predictions. We plan to do this for all of Kentucky’s six (6) classifications and there is no guarantee we will go in order from the top down, or the bottom to the top. There are good football teams in the KHSAA and there are bad ones and those teams span all of the six classes. Enjoy today’s look at 3A. Keep checking back as we may drop another class any time we feel like it.

Slow Motion Replay: Tom Larkey, ruled ‘The Rock’ for 23-years and experienced unparalleled success @Dack11Larkey, @coachlarkey11, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @RockHardFB

Tom Larkey was Mountain tough, a type of tough you almost have to experience to fully appreciate. Tom Larkey played center/guard and linebacker for London High School and went 31-11 from 1963-1966 as a player. He was SEKC 2nd team offense at center and Honorably Mentioned on defense at linebacker. He would become the winningest all time coach at two separate schools (Rockcastle & Harlan County) and would win over 300-games and appear in the title game twice over a fabulous, hall of fame-caliber career. Enjoy this look at Tom Larkey, the warden at Kentucky’s version of “The Rock,” Rockcastle County High.

Tucker Warren is a transfer from 5A North Laurel. He is killing it at “The Rock” and Rockcastle High is, in turn, killing it this season. Last Friday night, the team travelled to Middlesboro, Kentucky and took down a giant in the 3A classification in Bell County. Enjoy this feature and join us again next week when we recognize another outstanding athlete. Till then, pop some of Kentucky’s finest jerky products in your mouth and savor the flavor! #SavorTheFlavor! FL

Christian Larkey is fortunate enough to be born into one of the first names in Kentucky high school football. That shouldn’t (and doesn’t to us) take away from his own prowess and success he has had playing the game his family has loved and steered all these many years. Enjoy this feature about this very fine junior RB, FS, WR and don’t forget to #Savortheflavor. FL

Blake Mullins, class of ’27, Rockcastle County ready to go to work restoring “The Rock” to prominence… @abmullins @JBRowe1 @JoshBreslowTV @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @1776Bank @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLPreps @MaxPreps

Chris Larkey walks the sidelines at the same school his dad, Tom, developed into a consistent contender who teams often dreaded playing in the day. The boys from the Rock are always hard, with apologies to Easy E. Enjoy this look at the type talent which generally reverses varsity programs’ fortunes. Also, learn a little something about getting recruited and the type information colleges want to see warehoused on your social media sites like Twitter. HB.

Breakout Player: Caleb Moore, Class of ’24, believes he should be given The Rock! @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @RockHardFB @coachlarkey11 @MaxPreps @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball

Today we feature a kid who showed flashes of brilliance a year ago. Caleb Moore showed a dangerous burst, particularly on kick returns, and the Rock could stand a lot more of that type effort this coming season. If The Rock is to resurrect to its former glory it had under “the other Coach Larkey,” players like Moore will be called upon to “Breakout.” Enjoy the feature. HB.
