This week we have a pass-rushing specialist in Chris Allen, Class of ’23, as our recipient. Allen was instrumental in “The Blue Tornado’s” run to Lexington and shot at the title a year ago. His continued excellent play will formulate (perhaps) a return engagement. Enjoy the feature and remember to get on by and visit one of our fine branches today to discover what makes Independence Bank’s people, products, and services revolutionary in the financial services industry. HB.

“Middle School Spotlight” is an opportunity for the magazine to perpetually reload its invaluable trove of database containing information about the finest Kentucky footballers in each graduating class. Each year we lose great players and every year we gain a new crop of superstars. Avery Thompson, come on down! Enjoy the feature. HB.

@briiiann23 (Brian Thomas, c/0 ’22) from @pths_football (Paducah Tilghman) a big time, 3rd-level defensive prospect! @minguabeefjerky @KyHighFootball @PrepSpin @1776Bank @Lemmingscouting

We just learned Brian Thomas will be back at Tilghman for the ’21 season. If his production should increase proportionately to how it increased from ’19 to ’20, our pick of “The Blue Tornado” at number two in the preseason Class 3A football poll is looking better all the time. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Hey @pths_football! It is time to get @briiann23 heavily involved on both sides of the football.

Building up toward the Fall of 2020, which Commissioner Taggart assures us will come off, though when it will start is still hanging in the air somewhat, we continue to feature players we think will step forward for their respective teams. Today, we look at a DB who may need to carry some offensive load for Paducah’s Blue Tornado to experience the type success it realized in 2019. Enjoy the article. HB.

Class of 2023, Darionte Ragsdale, from @pths_footbll (Paducah Tilghman) is the Independence Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week

Here’s a young player who’s athleticism makes him a thrill a minute. Will it be rising senior Camdon Marshall or sophomore Darionte Ragsdale up under center when Fall practice breaks? We’ll see. Meanwhile, congratulations to Darionte for being the Independence Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week and join us next week as we recognize another deserving player.

Class of 2019, Colbe Crim, The Blue Tornado

I am from an area of Kentucky where The Blue Tornado is all one has to say. We know who that is, it is Paducah Tilghman. If any of you are the least bit suspicious about either the history or tradition of The Blue Tornado then I have linked you to an article […]
