KPGFootball’s Preseason Top-Five (5A) @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

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 plan to do this for all of Kentucky’s six (6) classifications and there is no guarantee we will go in order from the top down, or the bottom to the top. 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 5A. Keep checking back as we may drop another class any time we feel like it.

I saw an apparently healthy, rehabbed, Jatorion Dillard participating in the seven’s portion of practice. At one point I […]

Jay Bland, growing up before our very eyes

July 16, 2017 Fletcher Long 0

I was on a coaching staff at HMS which coached Jay Bland, Class of 2020, in middle school football. He quarterbacked that team to the Regional Final in Elizabethtown, Kentucky before bowing out to TK Stone one game shy of the State Semi-finals. Those of us who live in Hopkinsville, […]
