The AP’s 2019 Kentucky All-State Teams

The AP All-State football teams came out yesterday. We thought it would be interesting an demonstrative to highlight just how many of these young men have previously been awarded KPGFootball All-State honors as either Middle School, Freshmen, or Sophomores.

The players formerly or even presently on one of our teams will have his name highlighted. Beside the name in parenthesis will be the team of ours on which he played either presently or formerly. Here we go!

“MS” is middle school All-State, “FT” is freshman All-State, and “ST” is sophomore All-State. If you are curious the “T” stands for “team.”
