His name is Mason Griffin and he may be the best QB in the KHSAA with whom you might not be completely familiar. He is 6’4,” weighs 215-pounds and has a 4.0 GPA. Griffin plays for Next Up 7X7 and passed for 2,199-yards and 18-TDs his junior year in only 10-games of action. Griffin made his first team all-district squad and finds himself playing for a legendary head football coach in John Hines who has won over 200-career games. South Lauren is coming off a 6-win campaign and played in its first playoff game in years. Enjoy this feature about a young man whose star is on the rise and who may show up on some “Mr. Football” lists before all is said and done.

John Hines is among the greatest the high school game has ever known around the commonwealth of Kentucky. Besides that, the cowboy hat, which has become his trademark, makes him easy to spot from a mile away. If there is one thing this series has taught us at KPGFootball; it is that all-timers, lifers, the best to have ever done it, share similar traits, similar characteristics. Hines has all the earmarks which denote him as belonging amongst the other greats we have featured in this series. He won the county’s first state football championship amongst its three schools when he turned the trick in 2014. His Pulaski County Maroons went 52-8 between 2013 and 2016 in addition to the championship before referenced. We are proud to get to feature this guy in our series. Hines belongs here.

Bryan Jones is among the hottest young coaches in the industry Kentucky-wide. He has his Cougars playing football at an incredibly high level and looking every bit like 5A threats coming down the season’s home stretch. Enjoy this look at another one of those coaches sure to get plenty of air time this offseason as programs will jockey for coaches.

The Russell County Lakers would relate, not all 0-2 records are similarly constructed @LukePopplewell0, @Frenchie564, @kinnett_wills_, @sfitz_840whas, @840WHAS, @KyHighFootball

There are some mighty good football teams standing at 0-2 around the commonwealth of Kentucky. Largely, it all depends on whom you have played. For instance, Central High (Lou.), Pikeville, and Lexington Christian Academy are all 0-2. We promise you, none of the three are “throwing in the towel.” The boys from Russell Springs, Kentucky are in the same class. They are 0-2 but have opened with two mighty tough teams and look to get off that “schneid” this evening, at home, when John Hine’s Cardinals come a’calling. Enjoy the feature.

Cooper Mobley was a huge get for the Caldwell program when he came over from Pulaski County. “Coop” flourished this year for Caldwell and put together some numbers which are indicative of the kind of star he will mature into being. Enjoy this, our now 2nd foray, into attempting to inform our readers just how special this kid really is. Enjoy the feature. FL.
