Slow Motion Replay: “Mr. Mojo” had his teams Risin’ @OwensboroSports, @1027TheGame, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @CoachEdge11, @OCath_Football, @HCCols_Football

His name was James Hollowell. He was from Henderson, Kentucky. He played high school football for Barrett Manual High and later for the University of Louisville. He was a teammate of Johnny Unitas at Louisville. He coached the great Sam Ball in high school who would later star for both UK’s Wildcats and the NFL’s Baltimore Colts. Everyone called him “Mojo,” and Mojo Hollowell brought good fortune, good luck, and good “Mojo” every coaching stop along his career path. Enjoy this look back at a guy who was among the better guards to ever lace them up in the KHSAA (or its forerunner) and to ever blow a whistle, or call a play, on a KHSAA sideline. Get your Mojo Risin’

Well, scrimmages are in full swing. This time last year, a 4A team I had predicted would struggle tied a 5A power in a scrimmage which made the 4A coach scream all over social media that I was a complete idiot. The 4A team went 1-9, the 5A team challenged for the title at its level of play. Obviously, that scrimmage was meaningless. Well, Friday night Johnson’s Apollo squad pasted Logan County, at 4A team usually in the hunt. What does it mean? Does it mean anything? We’ll discuss. Friday Night Fletch.

Jamison Brown, OLB/MLB from Apollo High, is this week’s @1776Bank, Revolutionary Player- @ApolloEaglesFo1 @CoachEdge11 @JamisonBrown_ @minguabeefjerky @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @_CoachManning @KyHighFootball @PrepSpin

This week’s Revolutionary Player of the Week is Jamison Brown from Owensboro’s Apollo High. The ’25 linebacker is fast becoming one of the more talked about, 2nd-level defenders in Kentucky’s south-central/western end. He seems to have drawn considerable D-1 interest particularly for a kid transitioning from 10th to 11th-grade. Enjoy the feature. FL.

Cooper Jones from Apollo High is the @1776Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week- @CooperJ2312 @ApolloEaglesFo1 @jtedge02 @minguabeefjerky @HopkinCentral @evans02_mike @_CoachManning @PrepSpin @teeroyhowell

Cooper Jones hasn’t played a ton of football at the varsity level, YET! That doesn’t mean he won’t. Matter of fact, we think this guy challenges this coming Fall camp at both guard slots as well as at center. He’s got some ground to make up; but, if he is diligent, he can demonstrate the same type revolutionary performance which has made Independence Bank stand out in Kentucky financial service’s market. Enjoy the feature. FL.

Brady Atwell from Owensboro’s Catholic High School is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week. @1776Bank @HLpreps @OCath_Football @BreathittFB @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @PrepSpin @MaxPreps

Brady Atwell has been called the QB prospect with the highest ceiling starting under center for the Aces in a long, long time. Scary thing is, he may be a better prospect at LBer according to one of his coaches. Enjoy this feature about a sophomore QB who appears capable of doing it all and who also seems assured of being on a ton of recruiting boards going forward.

@harold_hogg (Harold Patterson II) from @AHSEagleNation (Owensboro Apollo) is the @1776Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week

Harold Patterson’s Eagles really struggled in the opener against the Red Devils from Owensboro High School. Not many teams invade Red Devil Stadium and come away looking too good. The Eagles really need to rebound tonight when Meade County’s “Green Wave” come crashing into Apollo’s shore looking for high tide. Coach Edge’s Eagles will need another performance like Patterson turned in against Owensboro (Senior) High to have a chance to emerge victorious. Enjoy this article brought to you by your friends with the service and people who have revolutionized the banking industry in Kentucky: Independence Bank. Join us again next week as we highlight another terrific player.

This is an example where an early offer may have stopped other schools from offering. Logan was offered by the Wildcats in 2017 and has only added one other offer since (WKU). Of course, one doesn’t need but one, one can only accept one anyway. This is a consistently rated player who we think of more as a DE than the TE position where both major rating services forecast he will play in college. Enjoy the article. HB.

@OCathFootball’s Will Edge (C/O 2023) Reveals his “Inner-Dog”

Mike Tyson once said about prize fighting “Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.” Here is a prospect who will be a sophomore this coming season who will hit you in the mouth either in or out of the boxing ring. Those attributes will prove quite handy when football season opens for this Class of 2023 prospect.
