Also, from host Al Mayo:

 

Sorry I'm a bit tardy getting back to you guys but, I'm here now.

 

First of all, this award applies only to VARSITY players.

 

Whenever you place a name for nomination, I need the following to be listed.

 

Player name, position, class (Soph, jr, sr. etc).

 

Stats for the week's performance. Carries, yards gained pass att/comp...tackles etc.

 

Please do not estimate stats. Just telling me a player may have run for 150 yards, won't make the cut.

 

Ideally a listing would look like this---

 

"Bob Smith a 5'1" Tailback from Smithville High School gained 100 yards on 10 carries. He also caught 4 passes for 30 yards in a 14-0 win over Jones High School"

 

OR

 

Bob Smith, a 5'1" QB from Smithville High School completed 15 of 20 passes for 100 yards, and 1 TD as the Smiths beat Jonesville 14-0.

 

Otherwise, post as many players as you like if you think they merit a mention. ALL Players listed will be used on the show as nominees, so their stats and performace will be included. A Ploayer Of The Week will be chosen from the weekly nominees.

 

Thanks in advance for the help, and have a GREAT season!

KNN High School Scoreboard Show

From knnal:

 

It was a very tough choice, but this week's KNN/Bluegrass Preps.com Player of the Week is Pulaski County QB Chris Muse. In a 62-49 win over Somerset, Chris accounted for 340 total yards with 248 rushing and 5 of 10 passing for 92 yards with 1 TD. Muse also scored 6 TDs rushing with runs of 19,46,25,25, 71, and 29 yards.

 

Start posting nominees for next week as soon as you can!

Pikeville QB, Tim Honaker led Pikeville to a 34-21 win over Ashland rushing for 260 yards on 21 carries including TD runs of 51, 11, and 60. Honaker also threw an 18 yard TD pass.

North Bullitt's Senior TE Brandon Daniels (6'1" 185 lbs) had 3 catches for 142 yds and 3 TD's as well as a 53 yd punt return for a TD in North's 66-0 win over Breckinridge County.

What about Lone Oak QB Corey Robinson throwing for 415 yds and 8 TDS 86 rushing yds against Caldwell County Tigers? Lone Oak won 56-3

I have a good one:

 

Ryan Phillippi, a 6'/175 lb. quarterback at Lexington Henry Clay HS was 16-27 for 255 yards, two touchdowns including the 28 yard game winner with 13.6 seconds left in the game. He also rushed for 224yards on 22 carries and scored three touchdowns in Henry Clay's 47-43 win at Boyle County.

I could not agree more. :thumb:

 

He ran for a firstdown... on a 3rd. and 10 to keep the last drive going. If not for that there wouold not have been a last second touchdown.

I would like to nominate Bathiani from Highlands. He kicked off out of the end zone to help eliminate the return threat by Trotwood Madison in the Birds down-to-the-wire win over TM in the Herbie on Sunday night.

Bathiany. Good choice. :thumb:

Aaron Watts, McCreary Central. He rushed for 334 yards, scored seven touchdowns and had one interception for the Raiders.

I will nominate Justin Hawkes, QB from Trimble County. In their 36-14 victory over Henry Co this week, Hawkes was 14 of 17 for 191 yards, including 1 TD pass. He also ran for 1 TD and ran back one interception for a TD.

Kaleb Curtis, Montgomery County. The Senior QB rushed 15 times for 65 yards and two TD's. He was also 10-15 passing for 143 yards. He also had a huge interception on the defensive side of the ball. He propelled the Indians to a 28-0 shutout on Friday night.

What about the "non skill" players. My son is a lineman and his only complaint about football is that he can be perfect at blocking and tackling and no one seems to know or care. When the back gets a big gain it's all about the back. When the back gets tackled in the backfield, its all the lineman's fault.

I'm all for it. If you can get blocking grades for a kid, and they're verified by coaches...post them up!

 

If a kid grades out at 100% or has a bunch or pancake blocks--he certainly deserves a mention!

How about separate categories?
