Coach Lyon’s Class 6A preseason top-10 football poll…

July 29, 2019 Fletcher Long 2

Someone contacted old Coach Lyon and asked when we were going to put out our preseason top-10 football polls for each classification. Well, the day we were called seemed like as good a day as any to continue that tradition. Since KPGFootball started with the top classification when picking district winners, this time we started with Class 1A, then 2A, then 3A, then 4A, and yesterday we projected Class 5A. Today we give you our projections for the largest Kentucky classification, Kentucky Class 6A. We have now completed this series and hope this has peaked your interest in something we love around here with all our hearts…Kentucky High School football. Have a great season, everyone of you. We can’t wait to both watch and report on it.

KPG, almost completely correct and totally wrong simultaneously

June 17, 2017 Fletcher Long 0

I know you are wondering how one can be almost completely correct and totally wrong simultaneously. Before I explain that, can someone explain to me how the referees can call offsetting procedure and encroachment penalties? More on the referees later. This morning I published an article entitled Game Day…our prediction. In […]
