Bryce Holbrook is one of the more accomplished QB’s in all of Kentucky. This is particularly true when comparing him with the QB’s hanging around the haunts known as the Appalachias. We believe he will be a top guy and we believe he will play early. Enjoy the feature about an area of Kentucky we have done well covering. FL.

2019’s Connor Roberts, Pikeville High School, scored 35 points in a HS basketball game with Clay County…anyone surprised?

Well, we have learned, mostly from following DavidandDarrylSports.com (@DavidandDarryl on Twitter), a practice we recommend highly for anyone interested in the athletes who hail from the mountains along the Virginia, West VA, and KY borders, that Pikeville HS’s QB, Connor Roberts (Class of 2019), recently “lit-up” Clay County for 35 […]

Defending our Selections…The Athletes

November 9, 2018 Fletcher Long 0

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 […]

Peyton Varney is happy to be back home again…

Hey, it’s good to be back home again/Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend/Yes, and hey, it’s good to be back home again…“Back Home Again,” the late John Denver. Nobody encapsulated what it meant to be a Country Boy or live in the Mountains or even be […]

I have included a picture to the left of this paragraph of East Perry Elementary School‘s campus and athletic complex. I have done this mostly because it is practically unparalleled in its rustic beauty, or at least that is the opinion of KPGFootball. We saw a football prospect at the Mountain […]

Isaac Dixon, Class of 2021, Belfry High School

June 26, 2018 Fletcher Long 0

Everyone on the Mountains knows that Class of 2021, Isaac Dixon, a guy who made our Freshman All-State Football team as an athlete, is fast. He averaged 15.15 yards per carry this past season at RB in limited action (13 carries, 4 of which were TDs) and had 16 tackles at […]

Connor Wright, FB/LB, Pikeville High School, Class of 2020

First of all I would like to thank our friends at DavidandDarrylSports.com for contributing the statistics to this article. We partnered up with them to conduct the first ever Mountain All-State Combine and believe this past event to be just the first in what will be many joint ventures along the lines […]

Pikeville Carson Wright, Class of 2023, LB…

June 25, 2018 Fletcher Long 1

In a performance which can only be described as Good Golly, Miss Molly, with apologies to Hopkinsville’s Little Richard, Carson Wright came to the Mountain All-State Kentucky Combine intent on proving that it is he, and not Hopkinsville’s JT Adams, who is 2023’s top LB. Wright certainly framed a very compelling argument. I […]
