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.

Slow Motion Replay: Paul Rains; Lord he was born a rambling man @coachpaulrains, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @GCwarhawksfball, @LCAKYEagles, @LCAEAGLESFB

Paul Rains won a title at LCA over Mayfield in 2009, two years after coming up just three points short to Beechwood. Rains had these guys yearly in discussion. Rains, over 29-years, won 209-games and a title while journeying all over Kentucky and competing at various classifications. No doubt in our mind Paul Rains is among the greatest of all-time football coaches across this great commonwealth. Rains was the consummate “Rambin’ Man.” Enjoy this feature and remember, in the end, we’re all just trying to make a living doing the best that we can.

Slow Motion Replay, Series Article No. 50: The near misses, the guys who would likely have been HOFers if they hadn’t moved on to something else @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @LCAEAGLESFB, @mercer_football, @CentreFootball, @HighlandsFB

We all know Phillip Haywood and Dudley Hilton are the two winningest football coaches in the KHSAA history. Haywood at 491 will be tough to catch but Hilton is 30 or so behind him and he’s still going strong. What about the guys who shone like bright, shining stars then moved on to “greener pastures.” Could some of those guys have been “the best?” Perhaps. If there is a short-timer who could be considered, we believe he may be in this particular grouping of three. Enjoy this feature.

Slow Motion Replay: The Fabulous Morris Men. Jack and Joe Morris led ‘Mighty Mayfield’ for nearly 50-years @MHSCards1, @MayfieldSchools, @Coach_Croft12, @mhscoachjoe, @BlakeSandlin, @khsaafootball, @CountyMustang, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky

There was a Ron-com musical called “The Fabulous Baker Boys” which was released to much fanfare in the 80s. While these guys were playing and singing there way across Hollywood, and chasing Michelle Pfeiffer all over hither, tither, and yon, the Fabulous Morris Men were winning games and championships in tiny, little Mayfield, Kentucky. Whatever Mayfield is or isn’t, it is the product of the labors of its two long-time coaches, Jack and Joe Morris, father and son. Enjoy this look at a Kentucky legend built by them for us. Enjoy the feature.

Blast from the past: @JohnCarterMyer1 from @scottie_glasgow is a ‘Football Player,’ from a football background. He has the ‘Scotties’ looking strong heading into the playoffs. @GlasgowDogPound @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @1776Bank @Gtown_Football

We wrote this article about John Carter Myers a few years ago. It was an HB Lyon piece about the son of a famous, high school football coach. John Carter was on a visit to Centre College when this was first penned. He ended up signing with Georgetown College where he is now a 6’2,” 210-pound linebacker. He gets plenty of play and makes plenty of plays. Looks like we hit the nail on the head here.

Friday Night Fletch.

Preseason, 2A, top-five (5) plus a pair of programs for which to keep a lookout @OCath_Football, @MHSCardinalsFB, @BeechwoodFB, @LCAEAGLESFB, @BJNFBALL, @BreathittFb, @MurrayTigerFB, @840WHAS, @AlPopFootball, @sfitz_840whas, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

We like the Aces to get back to Lexington this coming season and believe they will escape with the crown. We also believe programs like Beechwood, LCA, and Mayfield will have a bunch to say about it. Somerset is lurking around and are coming off a fine season with weaponry coming back from last season’s roster. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Mak Hoover, ATH from ‘Mighty Mayfield’ High, is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @mak_hoover @blts_network @APHatchellMHS

Mak Hoover is a 6’1,” 175-pound Athlete who plays receiver/SS in football and also stars in basketball and track. In an offseason where we have focused on versatility, this has been just another fine example of this attribute. Enjoy this feature and and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor of the country’s very finest beef jerky products. Friday Night Fletch.

Zane Cook from ‘Mighty Mayfield’ is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @Zane_Cook56 @mhscoachjoe @CortBraswell @CoachJBrandon @OLBeastCoach03 @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

April 24, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Zane Cook reminds us of an interior OL who doubled along the defensive front and has played defensively in college at prestigious Centre College. We are talking of the two-way, All-Stater, William Long formerly from Breathitt, which was also a 2A ball club. Cook’s QB from last season, Zane Cartwright has just inked with the Colonels. This guy here is a freaking football playing Jesse. Enjoy the feature. You will be hearing much more about him before it is all said and done. Friday Night Fletch.

Diego Torres from Mayfield High is set to explode onto the KHSAA scene @Diego_Torres78 @APHatchelMHS @mhscoachjoe @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS

This isn’t the story of a simple friar who became the patron saint of one of the larger metropolitan areas in the state of California. Ours is a story about a simple sophomore who entrenched himself in the lineup of the most storied and successful 2A football program on the western end of Kentucky. We hope you like our story as well as the other one. Friday Night Fletch.
