It's not every year that Bath County High School is producing a D-1 football prospect but Clark Kissick seems to have changed that.

The 6'1 245 lbs. QB is already getting interest from "Mississippi State,Kentucky,Texas Tech,Western Kentucky,TCU,Michigan,Oregon,Eastern Kentucky,Bowling Green,Harvard,Georgetown (D.C.),Brown,Princeton, and Miami (FL)."

Kissick says "They all stand out in different ways, I love Mississippi State because I have a lot of family there. Of course with Kentucky always be toward the top because I'm a Kentucky boy. I also really like what's happening at Western Kentucky. TCU and Texas Tech have just came up recently as well as Oregon and Michigan. I really like Bowling Green and my dad played at Eastern Kentucky in the 80's."

As for which programs are pursuing Clark the heaviest he says "Kentucky,Western Kentucky,Bowling Green,Mississippi State, and TCU are recruiting me the hardest."

While those schools are pursuing him pretty hard Kissick says "Kentucky and Western Kentucky's coaching staffs have stood out to me the most."

The Owingsville (KY) star will take some visits soon and he says he'll visit "Western Kentucky again, and Mississippi State. I also plan to visit Georgetown and maybe Princeton,Brown, and Harvard." Kissick also plans on camping at either TCU or Texas Tech and says possibly even Miami (FL) or Michigan.

One visit and program that seems to have cemented itself in Clark's favorites is Kentucky which he visited for the spring game of which he says "I sat with Coach Smith, for most of the dinner along with Coach Sanders and I also talked to Coach Phillips. They said they want to see me in the camp one more time."

One program stopped by Bath Co. HS, as Western Kentucky stopped in to check up on Clark and say "They were very interested in me, and want me to camp there, before a offer is extended."

As for other prospects Clark wouldn't mind playing with is two Louisville Trinity stars in James Quick and Dalyn Dawkins, as well as Bourbon County (KY) RB Kentayvous Hopkins. Of Hopkins Kissick says "He was unreal, we battled with him the entire game but fell short, he was all the hype we had heard."

It's time to wrap up the 2012 class, and move onto the stars of 2013. Here's our final 2012 rankings and a new name sits at the top in Nerlens Noel who made the jump from the 2013 class into the 2012 class. With Noel holding down the #1 spot Shabazz Muhammad moves down to #2 which we'll call 1B.

Nate Diaz def. Jim Miller by Submission (guillotine choke) at 4:09 of the 2nd round

In a completely one-sided fight, Nate Diaz continued his recent dominance over the Lightweight division. Diaz used his jab to keeper the shorter Miller away. Miller couldn't quite find the right range for his relentless takedowns. Diaz looks like a man on a mission.

Johny Hendricks def. Josh Koscheck by split decision

This was an absolute war. In the first two rounds Hendricks got the best of Koscheck on the feet. However, in the third round Koscheck used his superior wrestling to land a takedown and continued to win the round. This fight should've been a 28-28 Draw.

Alan Belcher def. Rousimar Palhares by TKO (punches and elbows) at 4:18 of the 1st round

Rousimar Palhares used his strength to takedown the lankier Belcher. While on the ground Palhares attempted to go for a heel hook several times. However, Alan Belcher used great submission defense and eventually mounted Palhares before stopping him with elbows.

Lavar Johnson def. Pat Barry by TKO (punches) at 4:38 of the 1st round

These two traded big KO shots on the feet, Lavar Johnson with his hands and Pat Barry with a left head kick. Barry attempted a takedown that was sprawled by Johnson, but Barry eventually got mount. Unusually, Barry transitioned from mount to side control and almost made Johnson tap with an americana. Johnson scrambled free and hit Barry with several left hooks and right uppercuts before he eventually dropped.
