Slow Motion Replay: Mark Spader evincing the characteristics consistent with his high school nickname @CoachSpader, @spadermom, @CoachKWallace, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @BGHSPurplesNews, @PurplesFootball

We called him Bruno in high school. One of the reasons was at 5’8,” 180-pounds, he was still tough enough to move out to tackle and man the post well enough to help the team get to the title game at the fairgrounds in Louisville, KY against Danville High in 1984. Bowling Green’s Mark Spader was a smart player. It only tracks he would make a fine coach. He certainly has. Spader is a winner. Spader has won (big time) at BGHS. Spader has three titles and a runner up under his belt right now. No telling how many he ends up with if he continues on the present arc. We believe him a future Hall of Famer, so we wrote about him in the series we have for such coaches. Enjoy the feature.

Friday Night Fletch.

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.

Some kids play at programs where it is virtually impossible to see the field as a freshman. St. Xavier is one of those programs. However, Jack Barker’s not seeing the field on Friday night in ’22 doesn’t mean squat once ’23 gets here. Enjoy the feature. FL.

Cameron Hollaway from St. Xavier High is looking to bloom last AND longest- @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @_CoachManning @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @CHOLLAWAY2 @CoachKWallace @StXTigersFB @StXTigerSports @stxtigers @kyhighs

This is an excellent ’25 WR prospect who looks to have quite a bit of lengthening yet to do. He is a superior athlete who found the field in ’22 in just two (2) games but who figures to burst out onto the scene in ’23. Enjoy this feature about Cameron Hollaway who is a football and track & field guy at Louisville’s St. Xavier High. FL.

This kid here has numbers, particularly in the weight room, which just sort of jump off the charts at the reader. He is crazy strong, crazy powerful, crazy explosive, and crazy young. Not even being a freshman could shelve him for the year. Wait until you see what this guy does over the next three years. Avoid the rush, get scared now! HB.

This kid here has all the attributes one would want for the cornerstone of the offensive line either in high school or college. We have given this award to him before, but this degree of outstanding is worthy of recognition whether or not he has been before adorned. This is quite possibly the standard across Kentucky for interior offensive line play and particularly at the center slot in the ’24 class. Enjoy the feature and Congratulations to Carter Guillaume from Louisville’s St. Xavier High from Kentucky’s fastest growing financial institution setting the standard for excellence in the financial services, Kentucky market.

We are finishing this series with our preseason top 5 in the 6A classification. There are some teams missing here which will surprise some folks. We have sort of gone out on a limb here, but we are gamblers what can we say? Anyway, this is how we see it. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves. HB.
