The part of the state where Elam is from is Hardin County, Elizabethtown being the biggest city. (There was oddly enough a movie set there with Kirsten Dunst.) Elizabethtown is about 45 miles south of Louisvillle along I-65. Also not far from Bourbon country. I don't know much about whether the school has a very good football program. It appears they went to a state championship game a few years ago before losing to Ft. Thomas Highlands (Austin Collinsworth's old school) but KY high school football is weird these days going up to a ridiculous 6A, 4A used to be the biggest. In some of the classes entire regions are very weak, for example my old high school won their class state championship game by like 40 points a couple years ago, basically as soon as they won their region it was known they were going to be state champions. The current powerhouses in KY football I believe would be Louisville Trinity (6A), Ft. Thomas Highlands (4A), and Bowling Green High (5A).
However, I was apparently wrong that North Hardin became John Hardin, it appears on the internet North Hardin still exists, I thought it had become part of John Hardin when the high school was created in 2001. I think it must have just taken over some of North Hardin's district, because North used to be one of the biggest public high schools in KY and is now significantly smaller. Sorry about the mistake.
