Middle School Spotlight: Bryson Johnson, the best MS football player in Kentucky, Period! End of dictation-@1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @evans02_mike @sfitz_840whas @PerryCoCentral @WYMT

This is Bryson Johnson and he is the best football player in 8th-grade anywhere in Kentucky. He forecasts as a LB, most likely, in high school but could find a home in the offensive backfield. His being omitted from ANY middle school all-star, all-state team is a gross omission. Friday Night Fletch.

Mountain Musical Chairs…mountain football prospects move from school to school. @kizer_slone @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @1776Bank @MaxPreps @EliteZoneShow @BGSportsNation @HLpreps

It is called Mountain Musical Chairs. Each year some of the mountain’s finest football talent moves from school to school. It is accepted, rarely bad-mouthed, and frankly just a way of life around the Appalachia region. Ask Belfry how many of its former superstar players were from over the West Virginia state line for instance. Well the three prospects pictured above, Kizer Alone, Landon Smith, and Ethan Combs, all played for Knott County a year ago. This year, zero for three…c’est la vie!

Outstanding individual performances the fourth weekend in October from around @KyHighFootball. @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin

Well we have some more of the world’s finest beef jerky to award this coming Wednesday in the weekly “Protein-packed Performer of the Week” and there were some strong performances around the commonwealth from which to choose. These guys listed in this article are all contenders this week and this article will fully illuminate why that is. Enjoy the article. Join us Wednesday when we reveal this week’s recipient. HB Lyon.

These same teams played early in 2019 in Hyden, Kentucky. Clay County won that game by 17-points. Fans can’t act like high school teams are the same year in and year out. There is something called “graduation” which plays a big part in any high school team’s fortunes. Who will win this year’s game to be played the 11th in Manchester? Glad you asked, we broke down for you in this article? Enjoy! HB.

@iamzanedeaton (Zane Deaton, C/O 2022) promises to keep @hazardfootball1 where they customarily reside, toward the top of the 1A classification

The Hazard Bulldogs, when they unload off the bus, just never look like how you would think a 1A team would look. They are always big, brutish, physical, well-coached, and in the 1A title-hunt. One problem they have is the emergence of district-foe, Pikeville, as the classification’s preeminent team. With young talent like Zane Deaton and Elijah Gayheart, coach Howard will find his way. Enjoy this look at Deaton. HB.

Coach Lyon’s Class 1A, preseason Top-10 Football Poll…

July 24, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

Someone contacted old Coach Lyons and asked when we were going to put out our preseason top-10 football polls for each classification. Well, today seemed like as good a day as any to start. Since KPGFootball started with the top classification when picking district winners, this time we started with Class 1A.
