Bob Beatty didn’t have 17-year old friends. Beatty coached 17-year old champions. Over a 21-year period at the KHSAA’s most revered, respected, and successful football programs (largely owing to him), the former OC at William Jewell College in Missouri wracked up 15-titles in 17-trips to the finals of the KHSAA’s largest classification. In 21-years, Beatty won nearly 86% of the games he coached (255-wins in 298 games played) and finished the year in the title game 81% of the time, winning the title approximately 72% of the time. That is a run of success to which no other coach in the history of the KHSAA can lay claim. This guy here may have been “The Best.”

Zane Johnson did the un-thinkable a year ago. He started at QB for one of the country’s premier programs against a nationally prominent schedule and led the team to its 28th title. Wow, what a mouthful! He is entering his sophomore season and he is poised to stake his claim as one of the commonwealth’s very best HS QBs at any level. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to get by your local Independence Bank and discover why and how our people, financial products, and services have started a revolution in the Kentucky banking industry. Friday Night Fletch.

Jarrren Johnson has been lighting it up for the Union County Braves. The Junior dual-threat QB has proven more dangerous with his feet than his arm but his team is 7-0 and will be favored in its remaining three games so just keep doing what you’ve been doing playa! Enjoy the feature. FL.

Trinity has before complained we don’t cover them sufficiently. We would beg to differ as we have feature quite a few of its primetime players through the years but we probably don’t write about Kentucky’s most talented roster as much as we could. Of course, we can’t just perpetually feature one team, unless their hiring. Anyway, this kid here will play big-time, college football because of his speed, regardless of what he does or doesn’t do on the football field. Good thing he is good on the football field too. Enjoy the feature and join us next week as we award this to another worthy player. HB.

The Preseason Top-5 in the 5A-Classification. Some stalwarts and a surprise await you! @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @1776Bank

We have been projecting the top-5 team, preseason, in each of Kentucky’s six-classifications. We have been bold in some of our predictions, picking some wild cards we aren’t sure everyone would pick. Here is how we see Class 5A fleshing out. If we didn’t pick your team and you see a district opponent listed among our top-5, that means we don’t think you see round three. Let the water-cooler debates commence. HB.

William Long, proudly carries his “lunchpail”

References to a lunchpail date back to 1890 by most accounts. It was a way for regular working men (not many women worked outside the home in the 1890s) to carry hot food with them to their blue-collar jobs. A blue-collar worker has always denoted one who performs manual labor. […]

Quick, which receiver in Kentucky led his classification in 2017 in number of receptions and yards receiving? This same receiver was tied for third in the classification in TD receptions in 2017 and fourth in the classification for TD receptions per game. Obviously, by virtue of the title of this […]
