The Owensboro Red Devils haven’t won over 800-career games because they don’t know how to stockpile talent on the play roster. No sir, Owensboro (Senior) High routinely has some of the best talent on any roster any where in the commonwealth at any level of competition. This year doesn’t look to be any different. One of the less heralded players, Jalen Carr, might prove to be among the best. He is a six-foot corner with arms which go on for days. He uses his length well and has already fielded two offers with more certainly to come. Enjoy this look at one of the very best backend guys playing KHSAA football today.

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.

Evan Hampton may be the top baseball prospect in Kentucky’s ’26 graduating class. How good is he? Well, he’s already committed to play for UK and that is one of the better programs in the SEC; which is, in turn, the elite conference in NCAA baseball throughout the country. Hampton isn’t just good at baseball. The sophomore RB made the 840WHAS & KPGFootball Big-School All-Sate Football team. Enjoy the feature and don’t forget to celebrate with us the services, people, and financial products which have caused a revolution in Kentucky’s banking industry.

We don’t all bloom at the same time. Some kids blossom later than others. Xavier Maddox is an example of this principle. He is 5’10,” now but has extremely long appendages, a long neck, is high waisted, and narrow at the shoulder. Translation…this is a kid very likely to be quite tall before it is said and done. Enjoy the feature. FL.

We love to visit our many friends and locations in the Independence Bank family. Today we visit our branch in Owensboro, Kentucky known far and wide as the “West Parrish Avenue branch.” Ethan Gough is among the Red Devils brightest rising stars on defense and may be equally effective running the football at his offensive position of RB. We are confident Ethan Gough, like his brother Austin before him, will draw plenty of ink before his high school journey is through. Enjoy this feature on one of Kentucky’s very finest at the MLB/RB positions. Get on by and visit one of our fine branches today and discover what makes Independence Bank’s people, products, and services revolutionary in the financial services industry. HB.

Here is something right amazing, almost exactly a year ago, December 29, 2019 to be exact, we featured then 8th-grade All American Jak Lindsey from Owensboro MIddle School. Well, a lot has happed since last year, like his starting in the 5A championship game for Owensboro High School as only a 9th-grader (man, we called this one) but he is still a super-star player, nonetheless. Enjoy the article. HB.

Outstanding individual performances the second weekend in October from around @KyHighFootball. @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin
