Part of what we do is preserve on our database the history of Kentucky High School football both for the purposes of posterity and because the present recorders of history suck at this. In this article we will go back and look at one of Northern Kentucky’s greatest teams ever, the Juggernauts of Lloyd Memorial.

Cooper Schwalbach, Class of 2019, bringing Highlands back

June 5, 2018 Fletcher Long 0

They were 6-6 last year, losing to South Oldham in the Class 5A playoffs, in round two, 35-34. They haven’t won a State Football Championship since 2014. The football team known throughout the Country as simply, Highlands, just isn’t the Ft. Thomas Highland High School football program we have traditionally come […]

Covington Catholic’s Casey McGinness, Class of 2019

May 23, 2018 Fletcher Long 0

Covington Catholic had Kentucky’s number one rated QB last year in University of Miami-Ohio Redhawk AJ Mayer. Mayer certainly didn’t disappoint in completing 170 of his 265 passes for 3,114 yards and 40 passing TDs in leading Covington Catholic to its seventh overall State Football Championship but first since 2006.

There is a saying that has been around football for years the exact origins of which I can’t pinpoint. I know Coach Phillip Fulmer, formerly the HC at the University of Tennessee, used to say it commonly, but I don’t think it originated with him. It really sounds like something […]

Now that the holiday is over, it’s back to business. In this piece we will break down the Receivers and the […]

The All-State Quarterbacks, Here’s why…

It was an exciting day yesterday as the All-State Teams for the 2020 & 2021 Classes were announced. As promised, now that the teams have dropped, I am tasked with explaining why the selection committee chose the players it decided to recognize. I can tell you that the committee believed […]

Two Giants Collide Friday Night in 5A

November 14, 2017 Fletcher Long 0

I know the Bowling Green High School Purples will be hosting the Spartans from South Warren for the Regional Championship in Bowling Green, Kentucky Friday night. That is not a match-up to overlook for either school. However, it will be tempting for either South Warren or Bowling Green to feel the urge to […]

Fort Thomas Bluebirds…singing a song…

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; […]
