@ztchristian from @Tomcat_football is @Minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week. @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @1776Bank

Ronnie Mingua began experimenting with making beef jerky back in the 1990s. He shared his efforts with neighbors and friends, soon realizing he had come up with something different and superior to all other beef jerkies on the market. From these humble beginnings, Mingua Beef Jerky got its start.

Today, the Mingua Beef Jerky Company still prides itself on using its old-fashioned, all-natural recipes which offer outstanding products to customers across the nation. The recipes are a family tradition, passed down from generation to generation. 

Migua Beef Jerky uses Enviro-Pac CHU-2000 equipment to cook its meat to USDA required levels for both moist or dry operation. Mingua Beef Jerky wants you to become one of its many satisfied customers by sampling its quality hand sliced, all natural beef jerky. We know you’ll love it and come back for more, again and again. 

Our recipes and our quality ingredients, hand-cut from solid pieces of beef, and never chopped or formed like other brands, make our products superior and one of a kind. That would make our products similar to this week’s Protein Packed Performer of the Week, Class of ’22 DT, Zane Christian, for Paul G. Blazer High School in Ashland, Kentucky, wouldn’t it? 

Zane Chrisitan is one of the more dynamic, defensive down lineman in Kentucky High School football. We don’t really think it appropriate to call him a “break-out” prospect because the jury seems to have pretty well rendered a favorable verdict on him.

Christian helped lead the TomCats from Paul G. Blazer High School to the Class 3A championship in ’20. Along the way he had 41-tackles, 11 TFLs, and 3-QB sacks.

He was underlined in every scouting report of every team on the schedule. It’s not like they were just blocking him with one guy. C’mon, you know better than that. He drew a double, minimum, every snap.

Zane Christian is a “Dude.” Highlights

Christian is 6-3 and weighs a well-carved up 235-pounds. He’s a guy who will play considerably thicker than that on the next level.

He’s a highly ranked wrestler. He carries a 4.0 GPA and has a registered ACT score of 28. This means he can literally play wherever he should choose. Guys with scores like his have lots of choices.

Christian made the Herald-Dispatch All Tri-State team. Christian was selected All-Area. Christian was honorably mentioned on the Coach’s All-State Team and seems assured he will crack the AP Team whenever it gets released.

Now making the all-this-or-that team is important to the kids. Coaches don’t put too much stock in them.

There are a lot of misses on any all-something team. We have been voters on enough of them to say that with certainty.

We would like to “get them all.” We don’t even come close.

All-Anything teams sell papers, generate interest in and discussion about the high school game. That is why they exist. They do what they are supposed to do.

We don’t need anybody else to look at this guy to tell you this is an All-State, first-team, caliber performer. High schools who play Ashland-Blazer know it. College coaches know it. Now, you know it.

We thought a guy like this could use a bolt of protein. Mingua Beef Jerky has elected to send him some via the prize package of product which comes with this award.

Congratulations to Zane Christian, Class of ’22, from Paul G. Blazer High School on his selection. Join us next week as we honor another worthy player.

Until then, pop some Mingua Beef Jerky in your mouth and savor the quality and flavor which sets it apart from all the competition. Remember, our product is superior and one of a kind, just like Blazer’s Zane Christian.

This is HB Lyon reporting for Kentucky Prep Gridiron reminding you that WE’RE JUST CALLING IT LIKE WE SEE IT!
