We are very pleased to welcome Lasaters Coffee & Tea to our growing family of advertisers. The Kelley family has a very long history in the local football industry and several of the Kelleys have had their numbers retired owing to their familial history of playing excellence. Football has been very good to their family and they look for ways to give back to this very special community. Lasaters is a place one goes to get caffeinated and motivated and couldn’t we all use a bit more of that invigoration in our daily routines. Get by one (1) of our four (4) Christian County, Kentucky locations and enjoy the roasted flavor of a hot cup of warmth and love.

Hopkinsville High entertains Prosser Career Academy (Chicago, IL) Saturday Night @KatherineL58069, @bigassfans, @Ale8One, @HopHighTigers, @Prosser_FB

Not all games are played on Friday Nights. Increasingly, games are being showcased on Saturdays and even Thursdays. Hoptown is entertaining a public school from Chicago, Illinois tonight. It is the Prosser Career Academy and the Falcons enter the game 1-0 on the young season. Hoptown (1-1) looks to be more than the Falcons can handle on paper at least and we like the Tigers by a sizable margin over the visiting team from Chi-Town. Enjoy this bit of Saturday Night special.

Storm Warning: Central gets back on track with fruitful trip to Todd County; braces for visit from North Hopkins @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning

Like we have done in prior seasons, now the games are finally here, we will take the last week’s action and break it down and then look at the road ahead. We had quite the successful road trip to Elkton, KY this past Friday night and North Hopkins visiting Morton’s Gap means the sledding will get much harder; certainly not any easier. North arrives with an enviable roster which includes plenty of All-State caliber players and even a Mr. Football frontrunner if your math is correct. Enjoy this feature and get out to the games this weekend. Remember, your hometown heroes need a little help from you! See you at the game!

We have a radio/podcast which is among the highest rated shows of its type across the commonwealth (Friday Night, Kentucky). Having a talent like, Scott Fitzgerald, to host the show with me is the real key to our success. When we convene this weekend, we will discuss some of these games and you will know whether I was right or wrong in my forecasts. Enjoy this “behind the scenes” look at the level of preparation it takes to produce the show you hear weekly.

Pikeville’s Mikey Hager flying against Christian Academy-Louisville…maybe the commonwealth’s fastest player @PikevilleHSFB, @CSS_TRAINING, @PrepRedzoneKY, @LippertScouting, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball

Christian Academy-Louisville opened with Pikeville High at home and won the game 45-7. That is nice and all but it wasn’t the most significant occurrence on the field on the night in question. If you don’t believe us ask Reel Analytics. In their “Fastest Man” challenge, Pikeville’s Mikey Hager achieved a speed of 20.7 MPH in chasing down CAL RB, Jeffrey Vanzzana, who was traipsing down the sideline toward a score at the time. The ability to run down plays the rest or the team has given up on catching is a very recruitable attribute for college third level defenders. Enjoy this look at a kid on everyone’s radar.

We believe the Hazard Bulldogs are well positioned to do something very special this season. We have crunched the numbers, studied the data, prepared ourselves diligently to tell you the following: The Bulldogs just might take this thing this year and we are going to be there to cover it. Enjoy this trip with us as well travel through the ’25 season and let’s just see where this trek ends. Our best guess…Lexington, KY. It will be quit a ride.

Well guys, we will be regularly appearing on two different podcasts this coming season. We will be on Cleats 2 Whistle and (of course) our own Friday Night Kentucky which will air for the third season with Scott Fitzgerald. This is just an example of the work required to be “Friday Night Fletch.” Welcome to my life, folks. I absolutely love it!
