Every year there is plenty of talk about some rising 9th grade being the best player at his position entering the high school game. Most of that talk is speculative and said by people who really don’t have a clue about football played outside their respective counties. We are an entirely different matter as we have reported on and followed the KYMSFA for over a decade. When we say an 8th grader, rising 9th grader, is special and will be hard to sit when the season arrives, you should listen to us. We know about what we are talking. Preston Schaffer is such a kid and such a RB. Eddie James is slobbering to get this kid in a uniform and on a playing field. Enjoy the feature.

It is that time of year. It is time to start figuring which teams, entering the ’25 season, figure to factor in the title chase. We have detailed what we think here and it is based on our study of the incoming, ’25 rosters, what players return, what players graduated, and other various factors we have perfected through the years to render such predictions. We had done this for all six (6) classifications as this is our sixth such article posted and published. We hope you enjoyed this series. There are good football teams in the KHSAA and there are bad ones and those teams span all of the six classes. Enjoy today’s look at 4A. Thanks for reading us.

Xzavion Brown from Frankfort is wrestling with important decisions @statejournal, @FCFlyerFootball, @KFCA_Coach, @CoachPerkins3, @LukeToothaker13, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

Xzavion Brown is among the more dynamic and explosive interior defensive linemen in the commonwealth of Kentucky. You talk about a guy who can penetrate and be disruptive as well as hold a gap or two, this is your man. His junior statistics bear out that he has a penchant for making big plays which put offenses behind the down and distance markers. Enjoy this look at this very fine football player.

They call him ‘Coen’ @Coen_Taylor2 @FCFlyerFootball @840WHAS @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank

Jacob Taylor is one of two “Taylors” on the Flyers’ roster. The Flyers, under Head Coach, Eddie James, has been among the more stocked and successful rosters at the 4A level of play. Jacob prefers to go by “Coen” and the 5’8,” 165-pounder carries a 4.0-GPA a believes in hear over height. His 45-receptions a year ago indicate his play backs up his hashtags rather well. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

If you want to tremble with fear, consider this…Franklin County has about every significant piece of the puzzle returning from a team which made it to the 4A semis a year ago. They should be among the favorites this coming Fall. Gavin Hurst is a large reason why although the Flyers have more ballyhooed players than the 6-1, 175-pound skilled athlete in the ’24 graduating class. Enjoy this look at one of Kentucky’s finest from the very finest in beef jerky from all across this mighty land of ours, the Mingua family. HB.

@Zack7Claudio, c/o ’22, from @FranklinCoHS is the @1776Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week. @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball

We thought we would stick around the Frankfort area and feature a young man whose ’20 performance was, frankly, incredible. If Zach Claudio could replicate his ’20 numbers with similar numbers in ’21 we could be looking at a “Mr. Football” candidate. Enjoy this look at an exceptional performer and join us a week from today when we feature another outstanding player. HB.
