Isaac Earl is a QB who is shorter than most people seem to want. However, that doesn’t mean he isn’t the perfect field general for the Storm’s offensive attack. He has been very effective running the offense in his first two seasons and there is no reason he won’t enjoy similar success over the course of his junior year. Enjoy the feature.

We talked with some departing seniors about Storm players from whom they expected a lot moving on into 2024. The answers were fascinating. One player from whom much was expected was ’26’s Kamran Harrison. In this article we will discuss all he brings to the table.

Storm Warning: Isaac may prove to be the Man[ning] on the 2024 football roster… @HopkinsCentral @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @_CoachManning

Isaac Manning had an exciting junior season which would see him make some Sports Center type receptions. He also contributed on defense in spite of limited opportunities on that side of the scrimmage line. In ’24, his senior season, it may be time to drop the reigns and just let him go. This should get plenty exciting. Enjoy the feature.

We can assure you Central is plenty thankful it picked up a versatile athlete the likes of Silas Gunn. Gunn came through for the Storm, big-time, particularly roaming the defensive back-third. Many, many good things ahead for this young athlete and this fine program. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Friday Night Fletch.

Storm Warning/Weather Report: While officially out of the playoff race; still plenty about ’24 to remember, relish- @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @minguabeefjerky @HopkinsCentral @840WHAS @DylanMorris2025 @minguabeefjerky @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @sfitz_840whas

I will always remember 2024 and the season which provided fans plenty of suspense and thrills. It will always stand out to me of the “season which could have been.” Enjoy this look back at the year and look forward to stomping the ever-loving, gob-sobbing, crap out of Fulton County tomorrow night.

Storm Report: McLean got them a pocket full of Posey Thursday Night, escaping Morton’s Gap by the slimmest of Margins @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @minguabeefjerky @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas

James Posey is one of the better linemen playing football around western Kentucky this season. Against McLean he was a one man wrecking crew both offensively and defensively. Enjoy this feature about a heart-breaking loss but a sign better days are ahead. FL.

Storm Report: Central drops tough one to Webster in Dixon, KY…must come home and ready for McLean-@1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @minguabeefjerky @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas

Central went on the road needing a win to get into the number two slot when seeding commences. Central left Dixon, KY just hoping to have a seat when this “musical chairs” experience of a ’23 football season stops its music. Central came up short but still has plenty for which to play. Enjoy the feature. FL.

After last night’s 22-point loss to Union County, the remaining five games are games the Storm is capable of winning. It will take a Herculean effort to run the table (5-0) but we have the talent and ability to do just that. A 7-3 finish would put us in the number 2 slot in district 1 and assure us a couple home playoff games. This may be shaping up to be quite the year. FL.
