We regularly keep up with rosters by asking agents of ours to monitor players as they lift, condition, and develop. We got a call from our Hopkins County guy and he was raving about Dallas Kinlaw. Kinlaw is a RB/LB combo guy who got a couple games of run in ’24. In spite of the limited run, Kinlaw still registered four (4) tackles. Not shabby for a freshman. Kinlaw has killed it this offseason. We don’t have a picture of him which is recent and he doesn’t appear to have either a Hudl page or X-Account. He will have to remedy that. If what we are hearing about this guy is correct, Kinlaw will want to have the means for schools to find him and evaluate his film. Enjoy this look at an up and comer who is coming right along.

Storm Warning: Central plans on unveiling a new scoring weapon in ’25 @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning, @evans02_mike, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans

Blaze Whitaker is an accomplished soccer player. He has made All-State teams and All-Region teams in that sport where he stars on the varsity team as an “Attacking Midfielder.” I would say if there is a soccer player in the world who could transition to American Football, it would be the “Attacking Midfielder.” When in doubt, attack! Whitaker got seven games of run in ’24 as a sophomore and converted 12 of his 23 PAT attempts. We would like to see that conversion rate increase significantly as would the Storm coaching staff. That said, there is no reason to not expect significant improvement with more practice and more experience coupled with anatomical development. Enjoy this feature about a kid who plays an important phase of football often overlooked.

Storm Warning: Isac Earl maybe the best athlete attending Hopkins County Central @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

If you were to look at all the ways Isac Earl contributed to Central’s bottom line over his junior season, you may draw the conclusion we did. He led the team in passing, led the team in receiving, led the team in scoring, was among the leaders in rushing, tackles, TFLs, and FFs. That is a ton of leadership out of one position. The 5’8,” 165-pound dynamo may be the Storm’s best all-around athlete on the roster not named “Gunn.” Enjoy this feature about a young man who brings on the stormy weather for Central foes.

It has been hailed as the most thorough and comprehensive all-state football team in Kentucky history. Big Ass Fans and its selection committee honored 152-players, Kentucky wide, from each of its six (6) classifications. People on this team attend 81 of Kentucky 220-some odd high schools across the commonwealth. Two member of the Central Storm made the squad. We’re here to tell you about them.

Sylas Gunn has been among the more impressive athletes to compete in Western Kentucky sports in several years. The QB, SS, FS prospect can play baseball, basketball, football, and run track. For all we know, he may take up dressage and gymnastics next. This guy is poise to have a huge season upcoming. We will be pleased to monitor it. Friday Night Fletch.
