Christian Shackelford is built exactly like the “big boys” want to see him. He’s 6’7,” 290-pounds and sports a 3.8-GPA. Shackelford got six (6) games of run over his sophomore season and that isn’t too bad considering LCA had the most senior laden group of trench men in the KHSAA a year ago at any level of competition. There will be plenty of competition to fill some of these holes in ’25 resulting from the Spring ’24 commencement ceremonies. Enjoy this look at a ’27 who seems destined to grow into one of his graduating class’s very best offensive linemen before it is said and done. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard.

KPGFootball’s Preseason Top-Five (4A) @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @driver_brock, @CoachHaddix11, @khsaafootball

It is that time of year. It is time to start figuring which teams, entering the ’25 season, figure to factor in the title chase. We have detailed what we think here and it is based on our study of the incoming, ’25 rosters, what players return, what players graduated, and other various factors we have perfected through the years to render such predictions. We had done this for all six (6) classifications as this is our sixth such article posted and published. We hope you enjoyed this series. There are good football teams in the KHSAA and there are bad ones and those teams span all of the six classes. Enjoy today’s look at 4A. Thanks for reading us.

Klay Wilken, ready to seize the Stallion’s role in the Muhlenberg County Herd @CountyMustangs, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

We have learned about “Mustangs” and the herd mentality and society than we ever thought we would know. If we are going to cover Muhlenberg County this coming Fall, this knowledge will be right handy. This particular Mustang looks to be “The Stallion” of this particular herd. Wilken would be a solid choice for that assignment. He has all the physical tools necessary to fulfill the job description. Enjoy this look at a kid who should be bucking for All-State recognition at the end of next season.

Trevor Joiner from Muhlenberg County leading 5A in tackles @CountyMustangs @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @KyHighFootball @sfitz_840whas @KyHighFootball

Trevor Joiner moved over from Butler County to play football at the 5A level with the Mustangs of Muhlenberg County. He has been playing with a cast on his left arm which has been recently removed. Joiner and the “other Trevor (Hardesty)” are both averaging over 5-yards a carry on offense. Look out for Josh Staples’s “Stands,” as they are getting better and better by the week.

Northern Kentucky high school football fans are always complaining the area is ignored by media members from the other regions of the commonwealth. Well we can’t speak for other media members. However, we can tell you we have before taken great pains to cover players and teams from the region and will continue. Here is a kid coming on his senior year who will have to shoulder plenty of burden with the expected graduation losses the Mustangs are experiencing here in just a few days. Enjoy this look at a real weapon for Brossart coming back for one last tour around the region. HB.

This guy is the type explosive, dynamic, “twitchy” monster we love seeing deployed along an interior defensive front. Lord knows the Mustangs are mighty glad he has another year of eligibility remaining. Enjoy this feature about this spectacular football player and see our friends and learn why Independence Bank‘s products, people, and services have started a revolution in the Kentucky banking industry.

There is no better time than the present to anoint another Independence Bank player of the week. Independence Bank is proud to sponsor a weekly article highlighting players in the areas where Independence Bank flourishes who embody the same type of revolutionary service to their respective football teams which has made Independence Bank unique and special in thebanking industry.

If last year’s statistics have any meaning, and at KPGFootball we would strongly suggest they do, coach Robert Reader’s Mustangs know a thing or two about pass defense. In eleven games last year, the Mustangs of Marion C. Moore High School in Louisville, who are a class 4A, District 3 […]

At Kentucky Prep Gridiron, we realize we have a penchant for quoting obscure sources when we are sufficiently desirous of the sentiment conveyed. That’s a fancy way of saying you probably have never heard of Dale Dauten.  Dauten is an American business management columnist, an author, a professional speaker, a management […]
