Stay away from the A-Gap, LCA may sport the most imposing Guard/Center combo in the KHSAA @matthewmont57, @LCAathletics, @CoachDCharles, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

Good lines, whether at the high school, college, or even the professional level are solid up the middle. The shortest distance between any two points is a straight line. That is why pressure up the A-Gap, in a straight line to the players handling the football in the offensive backfield, is “no bueno.” LCA didn’t have to concern itself much with A-Gap pressure. The Eagles had a pair of All-State performers in the A-Gap in guard, Matthew Montgomery, and center, Nick Greer. Their continued strong play will be instrumental in any chance the Eagles have to repeat in ’26. With all of the young talent returning to the roster, chances of another title added to the program’s previous two looks like pretty fair odds to us. Enjoy the feature.

Paul Rains won a title at LCA over Mayfield in 2009, two years after coming up just three points short to Beechwood. Rains had these guys yearly in discussion. Rains, over 29-years, won 209-games and a title while journeying all over Kentucky and competing at various classifications. No doubt in our mind Paul Rains is among the greatest of all-time football coaches across this great commonwealth. Rains was the consummate “Rambin’ Man.” Enjoy this feature and remember, in the end, we’re all just trying to make a living doing the best that we can.
