Christian County opens tonight against Northeast @KatherineL58069, @samharp11, @ColonelFootball, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

The Colonels open play tonight (Saturday, August 23, 2025). When the Red, White, and Blue take the home field they will be debuting a new weapon in the lineup in Anthony Gabriel, Jr. from California. Gabriel is a big-bodied kids who is fast, explosive, and athletic. On top of it all, he is also a very skilled football player who knows how the game is supposed to be played. Head on out to the Stadium of Champions tonight and watch a vastly improved version of the Colonels than the squad which opened its season a year ago. Keep an eye on that Gabriel kid too. He has a message for you.

A few years ago, Cameron Bulle came out of middle school and asked the varsity Scotties to take a chance on him. The Scotties elected to take that chance and the results have been impressive and favorable. Today we bestow on Cameron Bulle the highest honor known to this level of competition, the prestigious Protein-packed Performer of the Week from Mingua Beef Jerky. Enjoy this feature on a kid very deserving of some of the world’s finest beef jerky products and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor out there in Glasgow, KY.

Ryder Sandidge from Madisonville North Hopkins is a darn fine football player @markezz_25, @BlueGreyFB, @RSandidge2027, @All_American_Me, @Maroon_FB_MNHHS, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @CentreFootball

There is a question around Madisonville concerning which commitment is his first ranking commitment between football and baseball. You see, Ryder Sandidge is a bone fide star in both sports. The simple answer is he is a college prospect in either sport and he shouldn’t have to choose in high school. Here is the bottom line, this kid is a three phase weapon in football who makes his team better by trotting out onto the field. At the end of the day, isn’t that really all we need to know?

BO-dacious; Belfry’s big-time OG! @wolford_bo, @BelfryFootball1, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @WYMT, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee

Bo Wolford is a bodacious, fine tactician at the offensive line slot. That is one heck of a compliment. He is also the KHSAA’s best interior guy blocking along any front competing at the high school level. We have followed this guy for years. Our admiration for him just continues to grow. Last year, as a junior, Bo-Bo was a first team All-Stater on the Big Ass Fans Small School team and a 2nd teamer on the Courier Journal squad. We believe he is the KHSAA’s best player at the position even though he is likely to slide out to tackle and play there this coming season. Enjoy this feature about one of our favorite players.

Brody providing ‘Cherry’ play along the Centurion front @sfitz_840whas @840WHAS @minguabeefjerky @centurions_fb @THunterCantwell

September 30, 2024 Fletcher Long 1

“Cherry” is a term with which we are familiar particularly in discussing vintage automobiles. Cherry is beginning to define excellent down lineman play for the Centurion defense, or that is what it meant this past Thursday night in the big road win at Manual High. Look out for these Centurions, 3A, they are getting their playoff legs ready for the running. Can’t wait to see what they do against Central in a few weeks.
