We called him Bruno in high school. One of the reasons was at 5’8,” 180-pounds, he was still tough enough to move out to tackle and man the post well enough to help the team get to the title game at the fairgrounds in Louisville, KY against Danville High in 1984. Bowling Green’s Mark Spader was a smart player. It only tracks he would make a fine coach. He certainly has. Spader is a winner. Spader has won (big time) at BGHS. Spader has three titles and a runner up under his belt right now. No telling how many he ends up with if he continues on the present arc. We believe him a future Hall of Famer, so we wrote about him in the series we have for such coaches. Enjoy the feature.

Friday Night Fletch.

Dane Parsley may be the very best dual threat QB returning in ’23. Get this, he will only be a junior. His ’22 performance was legendary and his production filthy. We think we may just be looking at a “Mr. Football” front-runner in the ’25 graduating class. Enjoy this feature from Kentucky’s fastest growing financial institution; setting the standard for excellence in the financial services, Kentucky market. FL.

Among his many other duties, Elijah Davis handles place-kicking for the Storm. He is the @1776Bank ‘Revolutionary Player of the Week.’ @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @Yfnmcnary @KYFUTURESTARS @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @PrepSpin @MaxPreps @HLpreps

At Independence Bank we celebrate the uncelebrated sometimes and, curiously, no other position in football is more overlooked that the guy who gets assigned the placekicking duties. Much like a closer in baseball, the place kicker has it all on the line before his number is called oftentimes. Today we celebrate a player who has added placekicking to his regular duties on the Central football team. Enjoy this feature about this spectacular football player and see our friends and learn why Independence Bank‘s products, people, and services have started a revolution in the Kentucky banking industry.

This week’s “Revolutionary Player of the Week” is one of Kentucky’s better LB/TE prospects in the class of 2023. Simon Ghee is a name you might not know but we highly recommend you learn. He is 6-2 and weighs 220 pounds and he is having quite a year for Class 4A, District 2 Warren East High School. Ghee and his teammates have a huge district showdown Friday night against Franklin-Simpson, a team which has historically had its way with both Warren East and the rest of District 2. Doesn’t appear to be the case this year. This feature is brought to you weekly by the folks over at Independence Bank. Go see our friends and thank them, not just for this series, but for the outstanding services and products which have started a revolution in the banking industry.

Warren East‘s mascot is the Raiders. Raider is a noun originating around 1863 and derived from the American Civil War. It is defined, loosely, as a marauding person or someone who plunders, pillages, loots, robs, pirates, or rustles something or another from its actual owner. In a curious way, Coach Griffith […]
