Slow Motion Replay: Dixie Jones may have been among the best defensive coordinators the KHSAA has seen and was dad-burn competent in the head job too @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @TriggFootball, @TriggCoAD

We were compiling a list once of the men we thought were the finest five defensive coordinators the KHSAA has ever known. On our list was Jeff Hester, Chuck Smith’s DC at Boyle County; John Paul Chapman, Mike Holcomn’s DC at Breathitt; Mark Spader, Kevin Wallace’s DC at BGHS and now its head coach; Jim “Red Dog” Daughtery, the DC for several years for Dale Mueller at Highlands, and (of course) Dixie Jones, who was the DC for some of Craig Clayton’s more formidable teams in his first run at Hopkinsville High. If we were compiling a list of powerlifting coaches, we might list Dixie five times, as he is the best the sport has ever known. Enjoy this look at an all-time “lifer” in this sport we all cherish and love.

Blast from the past: @JohnCarterMyer1 from @scottie_glasgow is a ‘Football Player,’ from a football background. He has the ‘Scotties’ looking strong heading into the playoffs. @GlasgowDogPound @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @1776Bank @Gtown_Football

We wrote this article about John Carter Myers a few years ago. It was an HB Lyon piece about the son of a famous, high school football coach. John Carter was on a visit to Centre College when this was first penned. He ended up signing with Georgetown College where he is now a 6’2,” 210-pound linebacker. He gets plenty of play and makes plenty of plays. Looks like we hit the nail on the head here.

TK Kay maybe the most versatile performer in the KHSAA @AlPopsFootball @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @The_CoachLo @HopkAthletics

Triston “TK” Kay has had quite the career at Hoptown as a performer the Tigers could turn to for production whether on offense, defense, or special teams. He enters his senior year among the most versatile performers in all of the KHSAA. His head football coach swears he is among the best 50-players in all of Kentucky. We certainly would be inclined to agree from a production stand point. Enjoy the article. Friday Night Fletch.

Well, that yearly ritual known as Spring Practice has concluded for the class 4A football power many people are picking to finish at the top of the 4A classification this next Fall. We are one of those predicting a big year for the Tigers, as we picked them number one in […]

I saw something yesterday at Hoptown’s Spring Practice that will tighten up a lot of defensive coaches in class 4A’s district 1. It was definitely a sight for these sore eyes. I saw an apparently healthy, rehabbed, Jatorion Dillard participating in the seven’s portion of practice. At one point I […]
