Storm Warning: Isac Earl maybe the best athlete attending Hopkins County Central @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

If you were to look at all the ways Isac Earl contributed to Central’s bottom line over his junior season, you may draw the conclusion we did. He led the team in passing, led the team in receiving, led the team in scoring, was among the leaders in rushing, tackles, TFLs, and FFs. That is a ton of leadership out of one position. The 5’8,” 165-pound dynamo may be the Storm’s best all-around athlete on the roster not named “Gunn.” Enjoy this feature about a young man who brings on the stormy weather for Central foes.

Every year, rosters are charged with replacing outgoing talent with upgrades (if they are lucky). Eighth graders leave middle school, and enter ninth grade, more and more prepared to contribute on Friday nights than at any previous time. Dariyon Walker looks to crack the Storm’s lineup early in his high school career. Will he? We like his chances!

We checked in on Sylas Gunn to see how he was faring this basketball season and found the Storm’s Hoops Team has several athletes who would help the school’s football fortunes considerably. Here is our “shot” to get one or two of them to try-out for football. They may find it makes them better at basketball. Enjoy the feature.

It has been hailed as the most thorough and comprehensive all-state football team in Kentucky history. Big Ass Fans and its selection committee honored 152-players, Kentucky wide, from each of its six (6) classifications. People on this team attend 81 of Kentucky 220-some odd high schools across the commonwealth. Two member of the Central Storm made the squad. We’re here to tell you about them.

Storm Warning: College programs, if you are looking for ‘plug and play’ versatility, Isaac Manning is your guy! @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral, @ChiefSmoke10, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @UnionBulldogs, @CoachLuttrell49

We have focused on versatility all season long and even in the offseason leading up to the year. Isaac Manning is among the more versatile talents around western Kentucky and provides superlative value for college football programs recruiting him. He is a three-phase talent who displayed plenty of versatility in high school. Enjoy the feature.

Storm Warning: McKnight Looks to Fulfill Considerable Promise @HopkinsCentral, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @_CoachManning

Some predictions age better than others. We wrote an article about this prospect in May of 2024. In that article we predicted this kid, who had an athletic frame and bounce, would have a “break out season.” He did just that. Join us as we crow about our innate ability to peer into the future regarding the prowess of a young player who has, once again, proven we know about what we are talking.

This Friday night the Pilots will guide its ship into an unfriendly port. Morton’s Gap will host this ball game which will be pivotal regarding how the Storm enters the upcoming playoffs. We need to go into the playoffs on a good note. We need to take care of business at home before going out on the road for round one. Enjoy the feature.

Central finds itself exactly where it was a year ago. However, this time just feels differently. The Storm pushed McLean to overtime before bowing out gracefully, 48-46, and Fort Campbell’s beating North has taught us all a little something about never quitting before the combatants even take the field. We like Central to win this game and set its ’24 record at 3-5 heading into the final two. Enjoy the feature.
