Well that begs the question, Just who in the Blue Blazes does Fletcher Long think he is anyway? Well, I will tell you who he is...he is Friday Night Fletch; the most influential and important figure covering the sport of KHSAA football in the sport's entire illustrative history. I have been reading Friday Night Fletch since his newspaper days in Jackson, Kentucky and as a storyteller the man is peerless. As an authority on the topic of high school football, the man is equally peerless. As a radio personality on his Kentucky-wide show, Friday Night Kentucky, if Friday Night Fletch has a peer; it is his co-host, Scott Fitzgerald (Friday Night Fitz) and he alone. Enjoy Friday Night Fletch while we have him. Guys, storytellers, football aficionados, and radio personalities like Fletcher Long come around once a lifetime; generationally, if we are lucky. Incidentally, I didn't think I belonged in the book and told him so. You see how much good that did me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJon (Jonny Appleseed) Collins, Assistant Football Coach at Nicholas County\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI have been involved in the sport of high school football in the commonwealth of Kentucky for some 40-years. In all that time, there hasn't been a promoter of the game of Fletcher Long's caliber either in or out of the Kentucky-wide press corp. It was an honor to work on the book Football 101: Boo-Boo's a Quarterback with him. I elected to sit this one out as I am a chapter in the book and honored to have been included. If Friday Night Fletch says I am among the greatest coaches in KHSAA history, then who is anyone to dispute it. He is that much of an authority. When Friday Night Fletch starts telling me something about the high school game in the commonwealth of Kentucky, I listen and sometimes I take notes. Fletcher Long has done the work. He has studied the subject matter. He knows more about this topic than anyone else working in the field today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSam Harp, Dawahares KHSAA Hall of Fame Football Coach (Danville), seven (7) time coach of a KHSAA football champion, eighth (8th) all-time winningest head football coach in Kentucky High School history (326-106), and co-Author of Football 101: Boo-Boo's a Quarterback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI have known Fletcher Long since we were kids. I have never had a better friend. I have never known a more committed or steadfast person. I formerly served on various KHSAA Rules Committees and was formerly fortunate enough to coach in the KHSAA, as a swim coach, for many, many years. I wish the sport of swimming had a Friday Night Fletch. I am willing to bet basketball, baseball, and a ton of other high school sports wish similarly. I enjoy reading Fletch's work and I am not even much of a high school football fan. I am a huge fan of Fletcher Long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJames S.
