Jack Long is a kid we weren’t sure would get cleared to play the coming season. As it turns out, he got cleared by provided he wears a helmet specifically designed to avoid head trauma, limit his contact through the week, and be permitted to wear a concussion cap during KHSAA games. As it turns out, Jack’s rejoining the team was important for reasons other than football. One of Jack’s coaches suffered a medical incident related to his exertion in the heat and other medical issues he was suffering at the time and Jack, mid-scrimmaging, was observant enough to notice it and call attention to it. The early detection may have made all the difference in the world.

Jack Long, from Christian County, may have saved a coach’s life at practice last night; now that’s a primetime play! @jacklongFb, @KatherineL58069, @LasatersCoffee, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @davaree_gude6, @TriggFootball, @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers

We are always reporting on some guy making tackles, throwing some passes, catching TDs and the like. Football is more than just making plays; it is about being family. Last night, James Nicholas Whaley (Jack Whaley) Long may have saved one of his coach’s lives. New coach Kelly Myers was having a diabetic episode, which involved seizures, and Jack recognized it and called for his getting some help before the situation descended into the depths of no return. Thank the Lord Jack is as observant a kid as he happens to be. Thank God this situation didn’t end up being much worse. Way to go Jack Whaley Long.

Jack Long has had an incredible offseason. He has flourished in the weight room particularly at Power lifting meets where his incredible strength visa vie his size has astounded onlookers at every turn. We think this ’27 prospect is going to have a tremendous high school career and there is literally no telling how his frame finishes. Enjoy the feature.

One of them (Tristin Dillard) is considered among the best RBs in Kentucky and is a member of the Team Kentucky FBU Elite squad and the other (Jack Whaley Long) is a relative unknown but is starting to demonstrate the skills requisite to achieve stardom at this and the next level. Together, they will take a young HMS squad as far as they are able to carry the Tigers. Enjoy this look at two ’27 stars. HB.
