Bryan Jones is among the hottest young coaches in the industry Kentucky-wide. He has his Cougars playing football at an incredibly high level and looking every bit like 5A threats coming down the season’s home stretch. Enjoy this look at another one of those coaches sure to get plenty of air time this offseason as programs will jockey for coaches.

The penultimate in high school football is gaining the inestimable privilege of getting to practice football on Thanksgiving. Well, there are 24 teams left who get this privilege and get to build this life-long memory. Half of the remaining will run out onto Kroger Field and play for a championship. Which 12 will it be? We attempt to answer that for you right here. Friday Night Fletch

Tucker Warren from Rockcastle County High (Mt. Vernon) is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week- @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @HopkinsCentral @evans02_Mike @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas @evans02_Mike @TuckerWarren04 @RockHardFB

Tucker Warren is a transfer from 5A North Laurel. He is killing it at “The Rock” and Rockcastle High is, in turn, killing it this season. Last Friday night, the team travelled to Middlesboro, Kentucky and took down a giant in the 3A classification in Bell County. Enjoy this feature and join us again next week when we recognize another outstanding athlete. Till then, pop some of Kentucky’s finest jerky products in your mouth and savor the flavor! #SavorTheFlavor! FL

File the Daniel Thomas, 2023 performance, so far, under the heading, ‘Are you serious?’ @DanielThomas_4 @BellCountyFB @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @minguabeefjerky @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @840WHAS @sfitz_840whas

“Mr. Football” gets annually awarded to the very best football player in the high school game from across Kentucky. It is almost always awarded to a senior. Daniel Thomas (’24), from Bell County, is eerily reminiscent of Isaac Dixon from a few years back who won “Mr. Football” himself. Thomas may be the odds-on favorite for this year’s distinction for what he does for the offense AND what he lends to the defens. Enjoy this feature. FL.

Blake Evans from Bell County is one tough hombre. @BlakeEvans24 @_cameronburnett @ncsa @BellCountyFB @report_kentucky @minguabeefjerky @_CoachManning @evans02_mike @1776Bank @PrepSpin @kyhighs @HLpreps

Kory Combs (’25, Breathitt, LB/FB) and Blake Evans (’25, Bell County, LB/FB) appear to be friends. This would make perfect sense as the two of them are the best two LB’s in the Appalachia mountains in their graduating class. We have featured Combs many times. We are long overdue featuring this guy. FL.

Goble to be enshrined! Long-time CCHS Colonel Football Coach to enter KHSAA Hall of Fame. @kyhighs @HLPreps @KyHighFootball @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @1776Bank @khsaafootball @ColonelFootball @CountyColonels @Christian_Co270

Dan Goble, a man whose teams terrorized the 4A classification when it was know in Kentucky as “big boy football” for 11-years has gained enshrinement into the KHSAA’s Hall of Fame Class of 2023. The magazine championed this cause. It numbers prominently among our greatest achievements.

Daniel Thomas from @BellCountyFB may be the most versatile Bobcat in the Bell County lair. @DanielThomas_4 @BoyGirls13th @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @HLpreps @kyhighs

Hard to imagine a more versatile athlete on any high school football roster than Daniel Thomas from Bell County, Kentucky. Coach Hilton knows talent when he sees it and he knows how to deploy said talent. That is why he has won over 400-games as a high school football coach. Enjoy this look at a football and wrestling star in the Middlesboro, Kentucky area. HB.

Here is our best guess at the five best teams heading into the ’22 season in the 3A classification. We were right on the money a year ago picking Belfry to win and Paducah to make the final game. Man, did we look stupid at the mid-way point and genius at the end. Hopefully, we will once again demonstrate our superior knowledge and work ethic. Enjoy. HB.
