Also, from host Al Mayo:

 

Hey folks--it's been great using all the nominees (last year) week after week on the show, and we'll continue to use them for the foreseeable future. I wanted to remind you of a couple things. When you nominate a player, I need his height, weight, and class designation (Freshman, Sophomore, Etc). I also need the stats to be correct. Just telling me it looked like he ran for over a hundred yards won't do it. Please include all pertinent numbers like carries, pass attempts, completions, yardage gained, number of tackles--you all understand what I need. Otherwise, I have to track these numbers down. Not that I mind doing the legwork, but I normally save this part of the show for last, so I can take nominees until the last possible hour, so I just don't have the time to look it all up. I'll usually pull the information from here by Thursday afternoon, so try to have your candidates nominated by about 2:00pm Thursdays. I couldn't be happier with the information you've all provided, and I'm looking forward to continuing our association with BGP!

Alan Williams, junior TB, Marshall County ... over 300 all-purpose yards (190+ rushing, 130+ receiving) and seven touchdowns as Marshall County beat Daviess County 54-26. I can get exact stats later if you need them.

We officially had Alan WIlliams(Marshall County) for 24 carries 243 yards and 4 TD's. Also, 8 receptions 138 yards w/ 3 TD's. School record 7 touchdowns and didn't play 2 series in 1st quarter or all of the 4th quarter.

Bobby Owens , RB Knott Central, over 300 yards rushing, multiple TD's, unsure of the complete stats, as I was just wowed by his performance, by what I read in the paper.

Gerald Epling III, 5ft6inch 146lbs senior safty/rb, belfry 1 interception, 100 all purpose yards and MVP against Class A defending state chapion N.C.C. Will get tackle stats to you as soon as i get them. This kid was all over the field.

Shane Popham PK CovCath....How many times has a High School young man kicked a Field Goal farther than most College or Professionals have? A 54 yard FG is something that isn't done even at the highest level each and everyday. I realize that many might not agree with a Place Kicker, but to have a weapon like Shane on your team, is indeed a great advantage to have....

Kaelin Ammons- 9 carries 188 yards, 5 TDS. 19 for 29 passing for 333 yards and 2 tds., also caught a pass.

Hank Simpson- 210 6'1 MLB #33 for Letcher Central vs Estill County

All in 3 Quarters because he was out in the 4th
