This guy, numbers-wise, may be Kentucky’s premier MLB, particularly at his level of play (2A). His production is mind-blowing, and get this, he also contributed quite a bit to the offense. Any college program getting this guy will be getting a tank. Enjoy the feature and don’t forget to pick up a bag of Kentucky’s finest all-beef jerky products at your convenient store today. #savortheflavor

Featured Matchup (9-11-2020): @LeslieCountyHS at @clay_co_fb. @KyHighFootball @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank

These same teams played early in 2019 in Hyden, Kentucky. Clay County won that game by 17-points. Fans can’t act like high school teams are the same year in and year out. There is something called “graduation” which plays a big part in any high school team’s fortunes. Who will win this year’s game to be played the 11th in Manchester? Glad you asked, we broke down for you in this article? Enjoy! HB.

Multi-Sport Athletes…

March 16, 2020 Henry Lyon 0

Coaches prize athletes who demonstrate the ability to compete and thrive in more than just one sport. This is a phenomenon we have before covered ad nauseam. Enjoy this article about some of the best multi-sport athletes the commonwealth has. HB.

Our opinion of the Coaches’ All-State Football team? We offer the following friendly amendments!

December 20, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

No team gets them all. The Coaches’ All-State Football team was just announced and it was a fine one with every player we saw deserving of selection. Still, we feel they undervalued some of the players and missed on some others. So here are our “friendly amendments and additiions” to the Coaches’ team. The media team will be out before you know it and I am pretty sure we will screw the pooch in the eye of many when it is our time to draw the fire. HB.

Here is how we see 10 Friday-night match-ups fleshing out on October 11, 2019. We haven’t quite figured where we will be Friday night, leaning toward taking in the Anderson County at Bourbon County game in Paris, Kentucky. Anyway, this level of sarcasm is protected content for subscribers only. Sorry. #UMustPayToHateUs!

This is part three of our three-part series “Wandering through the wasteland…” Today we predict the district winners in Classes 2 and 1A. This concludes our series. I would mention Fletcher Long, formerly a writer here at KPGFootball and now working for Bluegrass Sports Nation called and said some coaches have taken strenuous exception to this analysis. To those offended, I am saddened you take offense. Still, we strive to be true to our craft and our opinion is just that…ours.

We got some correspondence from a recent graduate of Leslie County High School who informed us she had read our article on Preston Spurlock. She told us further that Spencer Napier was the perfect compliment to Spurlock and that the tandem constituted a nearly unmatched pair of second level defenders. We looked at Napier ourselves and, what do you know, we agreed. Enjoy the article. HB.
