KPGFootball’s Preseason Top-Five (2A)

June 12, 2025 Fletcher Long 2

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 plan to do this for all of Kentucky’s six classifications and there is no guarantee we will go in order from the top down, or the bottom to the top. 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 2A. Keep checking back as we may drop another class any time we feel like it.

Jesse Clark, Murray High, is on quite a few prospect lists across KY @GoldRushNathan, @JesseClark2027, @murrayhighFB, @Coach_Hugo33, @Dickerson_Coach, @MurrayQBClub, @PrepRedzoneKY, @Chapman42071, @DCHS_Football, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

Jesse Clark is a 6’3,” 260 pound DE who many believe is about the best DE on the western end of KY. Clark has the frame, length, and size you want at the “big schools” and with a 3.5-GPA he is also sure to gain admission pretty much everywhere from the SEC to the Ivy-League. This kid has plenty of “leg kick” and get off coming around the end and his explosion will only increase as he matures physically. This is a long, tall, lengthy, edge presence schools love to be able to slot defensively. Enjoy this feature.

Slow Motion Replay: “Mr. Mojo” had his teams Risin’ @OwensboroSports, @1027TheGame, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @CoachEdge11, @OCath_Football, @HCCols_Football

His name was James Hollowell. He was from Henderson, Kentucky. He played high school football for Barrett Manual High and later for the University of Louisville. He was a teammate of Johnny Unitas at Louisville. He coached the great Sam Ball in high school who would later star for both UK’s Wildcats and the NFL’s Baltimore Colts. Everyone called him “Mojo,” and Mojo Hollowell brought good fortune, good luck, and good “Mojo” every coaching stop along his career path. Enjoy this look back at a guy who was among the better guards to ever lace them up in the KHSAA (or its forerunner) and to ever blow a whistle, or call a play, on a KHSAA sideline. Get your Mojo Risin’

Brady Atwell is firmly in the hunt for Kentucky’s “Mr. Football.” His uncle won the distinction in 1999 and playing at a level (Class A) which hasn’t boaster too many winners. Brady has a tough road to haul with Beechwood coming to Lexington seeking the same distinction as the Catholic club. Enjoy this feature and remember to both stop and smell the roses and #SavorTheFlavor.

Who is set to take the 2A title in football this Fall? We like the ‘little team which could,’ the Aces from Owensboro Catholic @CroweDereon @OCath_Football @SrHighFootball @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @BradyAtwell5

Every year we like Owensboro Catholic to challenge for a title in 2A. Every year they seem to do just that before dropping a game in a late round. Last year, the Aces had the ball, down five, with a chance to go down the field and win the title and fell just shy of the mark. We like these guys to “do it” in ’24. We are taking them to win it. Enjoy the article. Friday Night Fletch.

When last we heard, Catholic was going to have the Devil of a time holding on to its Mr. Football candidate at QB, Brady Atwell. It appears Owensboro Catholic has weathered the storm there. Truthfully, they did a little better than just weather that storm. They have added some big-time 2nd level talent from nearby Owensboro Senior High, Dereon Crowe. Enjoy the feature.

Catholic keeps drawing Aces; braced to be top-rated RPI- @1776Bank @HLpreps @OCath_Football @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @PrepSpin @MaxPreps @minguabeefjerky @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike

The RPI will be rolled out here shortly. In fact, we almost expect the same to come out this week or next. We want you to be braced for something, Owensboro Catholic will be either No. 1 or No. 2 in 2A regarding RPI. They will likely stay there all season long. If they do, they will be home for the playoffs until packing for Kroger Field. What makes us say that? Enjoy the article! FL

The football season opens tonight for most area teams. Owensboro Catholic travels to Bowling Green to play a tough Gibson Southern team in the Rafferty’s Bowl. For the “Aces” to have much of a chance, their junior QB/LB has to play really well. Enjoy this feature brought to you by your friends at Independence Bank. They have revolutionized the Kentucky financial services market. FL.

The Carrico brothers from Owensboro are really something. These boys lead one of 2A’s more successful football programs and both of them look to get ‘Next Level’ rides. They call this particular Carrico, “Tutt.” All Hail the King! Enjoy this look at one of the better football players in the entire commonwealth and don’t forget to #Savortheflavor. FL.
