If you have been reading our weekly “Outstanding Performances…” articles, the series of articles should have impressed upon you how very difficult winning this award really is. We had another spectacular week where there were numerous performances any one of which would have been a fine performance to single-out. This week, the high schools were off and the middle schoolers seized center stage. No one on that level of play thrust himself into a commonwealth-wide discussion any more forcefully than this week’s Protein-packed Performer. What do we mean by this? Well, read the article and see! Enjoy the article and join us next week as we honor another worthy recipient. HB.
It is getting time to start thinking about All-State selections. When it comes to voting on the All-State team (AP), we nominate guys positionally for inclusion. What we mean by that is when the AP asks for five linemen we nominate a center, two guards, and two tackles. The way we treat it is who would we want if this mythical team were going to play a game against another team and we really, really wanted to win. When we are asked for 4 defensive linemen, for instance, we give two DEs and two interior guys for the mythical defensive line. We nominate two safeties and two corners for the back end, so on and so forth. Our criteria is a simple one, our first-team player would have to be good enough to transfer anywhere in Kentucky and be first team wherever he landed at the position at which he is being nominated. With that as a working criteria, which isn’t going to change, we will feature, from now through the opening of the ballot, players we believe fit that bill and some we believe are second-teamers, and even some we believe should be Honorably Mentioned. Today we are featuring a football player’s, football player in the Class of 2020’s Cade Bleidt from Cadiz, Kentucky. We love him. High School football teams are made off of players like him. He will be nominated for the All-State team by us. On which string he lands, or whether he merits just an Honorable Mention (which is still quite an honor), is something the voters will have to decide.
Colleague of mine called me just yesterday and asked if I had heard about the game between Jordan Miles (Trigg) and Joshuah Keith (Todd) I asked him, “Are you serious? What kind of an outfit do you think we’re running over here?”

There are those who may profess a bit of dismay at the chosen title. What in the world does KPGFootball mean by “…Bleidt, working hard offseason to break out in 2019?” What would you call what he did in 2018? Well, to those who might be inclined to that reaction we […]
Crittenden County High School is a district 1 team in the 1A classification from Marion, Kentucky which chose the name Rockets for a mascot. The nickname seems entirely appropriate for both a school and a team which has a player the likes of Devon Nesbitt in both the backfield and walking its […]
The Tigers had lost everything from off the 2016, 10-2 football team. They had lost so much Coach Marc Clark took the first train to Paducah to land at McCracken County High School’s head coaching vacancy. The Tigers lost 4 out of 5 starting offensive linemen, 2 college athletes at […]
We have been to Bowling Green, to Louisville, to Mason County, and then back to Louisville, and we have seen the very best the Bluegrass has to offer in the classes of 2022, 2023, and a smattering of hopeful 2024s most of whom are a year away from factoring. Here’s […]
