The mascot for Simon Kenton’s athletic teams are “The Pioneers.” The man for whom the high school has been named was a legendary frontiersman in Ohio and the Midwest. The rising senior to be, ’23’s Josh Bowling, is getting fairly legendary in his own right. Enjoy this feature on one of Northern Kentucky’s more talked about and recruited 2nd level defenders. HB.

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.

KPGFootball’s Weekly Winners (08.31.2018)

August 29, 2018 Fletcher Long 0

Well, last week KPGFootball picked 17 football games and went 15-2. Not too shabby even if it is we saying so. We had enough fun doing that we decided we would go another round and, this time, we are picking 20 games. For some of these matchups we might make […]

The New York Yankees had a catcher/manager once named Yogi Berra. Berra used to say the damnedest things like…when you come to a fork in the road, take it and [y]ou should always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise, they won’t come to yours. Another saying which we believe is […]

We wrote the other day about Austin Hammack, who is a Class of 2020, RB, who, last year for the Pioneers, gained 806 yards from scrimmage. For the Pioneers to hope to do as well this upcoming season, even with the loss of a senior QB Matt Shearer, the 6-3, 210 pound […]

Simon Kenton, and I mean the real-life pioneer, and not the high school known as the Pioneers, was a pretty tough guy. He was made to travel a gauntlet of ritualistic Native American tortures as a captive of the Shawnee, or so the history books tell us. That gauntlet contained physical tests […]

Cooper Schwalbach, Class of 2019, bringing Highlands back

June 5, 2018 Fletcher Long 0

They were 6-6 last year, losing to South Oldham in the Class 5A playoffs, in round two, 35-34. They haven’t won a State Football Championship since 2014. The football team known throughout the Country as simply, Highlands, just isn’t the Ft. Thomas Highland High School football program we have traditionally come […]
