Talk about your versatility. Jackson Grantz can do it all, literally. Grantz, in 2025, in 10-games of run, registered 90-tackles, 2-TFLs, 2-INTs, 84-IRNYs, and a pick-six. Grantz made 23-PATs and a pair of FGs. Grantz led the team in scoring with 59-points (4-TDs receiving, 1-INT return, 2-FGs, 23-PATs). Grantz caught 19-balls for 232-yards and four (4) scores. Wow! Remember, this cat is playing 6A, District 7 football. Not a ton of three-phase guys playing “Big Boy” football. Grants is 6’0,” 185 pounds who runs a 4.4 40-yard dash, clips off the 100-meter in 11.2-seconds, shuttles in 4.3-seconds, verts 31.9-inches, and bench presses 245-pounds. This guy maybe among the best football players in Kentucky about whom you haven’t heard much. Get ready, you will hear from him this year.

Roy Walton led a group of young football players who would be known throughout the commonwealth as “Roy’s Boys.” He coached five years at Lafayette and 25 years at Tates Creek. It was at Tates Creek where he would win his two (2) football Kentucky titles, one in 1972 and the other in 1978. Roy Walton was part psychologist, part magician, and all football coach. Enjoy this feature.
