Those of you who have been featured in our “Slow Motion Series” may not realize this, but you owe your inclusion to one of our intrepid staff members or agents at Kentucky Prep Gridiron. Many articles begin with “Hey Fletch, you need to feature this guy or that guy” together with a small explanation why the coverage is warranted. This article began that very way. We were contacted, last night, by our central Kentucky agent, who formerly coached on this end of Kentucky, and he told us we needed to feature Al Starnes. His reasoning was Starnes is the Hoover Niece of the western end of the commonwealth. Well, that was good enough for us…Enjoy the feature.

Friday Night Fletch

Meric-Dean Stinson, Class of 2019, Henderson County Colonels, is this week’s Independence Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week

We don’t know how the Henderson County Colonels will replace players like this week’s recipient, Meric-Dean Stinson. It is not everyday a team is fortunate enough to have a guy with Stinson’s heart and fight in the line-up. Make no mistake, Stinson was as responsible for the Colonels’s turn-around in 2018 as any other player on the team. No one works harder than Meric-Dean Stinson and efforts like his are worthy of recognition and celebration. That is exactly why he is being recognized this week by Kentucky’s fastest growing (and hardest working) financial institution, Independence Bank. Join us next week as we award this to another worthy football player.
