Big Ass Fans is so much more than just a gigantic fan. It is gigantic quality, gigantic performance, and a gigantic commitment to reliability and innovation.

Friday Night Fletch, “KPGFootball”
Williamsburg, KY: We are winding down our coverage of the ’25 prospects as they brace for the graduation stage and the “next level.” This is always a sad time of year for us as we bid them the best of luck and start setting the table for the ’26’s.
One guy who sure made a big difference for his team this season was Shane “Dee” Parker. Parker is a guy the Colonels will find it hard to replace.
Parker is a 5’9,” 160 or so pounder whose performance certainly belied his stature. Parker carried the ball 271-times for 1,975-yards and 29-TDs on the ground. Parker averaged 7.3-yards a carry and 180-yards a game.
Parker caught a handful of passes. Parker led the team in scoring (182-points for 16.5-points a game). Parker registered 37-tackles, three (3) TFLs, and an INT he returned some 43-yards. Throw in his four (4) two-point conversions on special teams and he had three phase utility, something not seen often at the 4A level.
Parker lists his primary position as RB. He can also play corner and with his 4.6-second, 40-yard dash. We could see colleges taking a run at him to deploy as a third level defender.
Parker led Whitley County to a 5-6 mark and before you turn-up your nose at the sub-five-hundred winning percentage there are a few things you should know. Whitley County lost to North Laurel (5A) by two points, and lost to both Letcher County and Wayne County by seven.
They were basically three scores shy of a vastly different seasonal outcome. Football can be a game of inches.

Now Colonel fans are wondering, “What are we going to do without Dee Parker in ’25 and succeeding seasons?” We have no idea. However, wasn’t it glorious to get to watch him the time we were permitted?
We can’t solve every problem. We’re just a digital magazine!
