Kelton Forrester, from Murray High, is the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Co.’s Feature of the Week @MurrayTigers, @MLT_Sports, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom @MurrayLedger, @teeroyhowell, @LasatersCoffee,

June 22, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Kelton Forrester is a kid with a ton athletic ability and potential who was put in tough spots particularly for a freshman on a championship caliber roster at the 3A level. He will be called going forward as many seniors have exhausted eligibility and are headed to play football on Saturdays. Forrester is a track & field prospect in the commonwealth among ’29s and is already enjoying success as a varsity performer. Forrester is the kind of kid coaches want to coach and, in the end, that may be the finest compliment which can be paid to him. Enjoy the feature.

David (Deegan) Ortega, Eminence High, is our @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week @g_mcpeek, @DeeganOrtega, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

June 18, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Back the old days, coaches generally (particularly in high school) would take the best athlete and make him the QB. After all, let your best athlete handled the ball most of the time, right? Coach McPeek is familiar. He’s been around a while. Last year, the year before hiring McPeek, Eminence High had Deegan Ortega at QB. While there he threw for three TDs, ran for five scores, was the second leading scorer and contributed some tackles along the way. What is in store for ’26? You may see Ortega at QB some more but we believe his next level home will be at WR or DB. He is 6’2,” 180, carries a 3.3-GPA, and is one of the best athletes on any field he enters. Oh yeah, before we forget, he is this week’s Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week too. Enjoy the feature.

There will be those who will tell you the newly consolidated “Tigers,” from Christian County High, will go as far next season as new players like the one we are today featuring can lead them. The newly consolidated school shouldn’t hurt for talent and the Tigers are amassing an array of coaching talent to “put the team through its paces” in its upcoming inaugural season. Regardless, young guns will be critical. Good thing there will be young men roaming the hallways who are also extremely talented. Enjoy this look at one of Hopkinsville, Kentucky more talented prep-level athletes brought to you by your friends and neighbors at Lasaters’s Coffee & Tea where you aren’t just served; you’re loved!

Kenyon Cunningham from Murray High has been strutting his stuff this offseason and is our Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company Feature of the Week @KYHighFootball, @MurrayLedger, @CClakerfootball, @teeroyhowell, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom

June 15, 2026 Fletcher Long 1

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Kenyon Cunningham is simply among the best multi-phase football talents in the Kentucky-wide, KHSAA football game today at any level and a tremendous prospect in more than just football (basketball). Cunningham came to the Murray High roster when his dad got the job and has become among the commonwealth’s most talented players. Cunningham has done nothing but confirm we were all right about him from the beginning. Cunningham is only going to improve over his sophomore season, particularly on offense where he should get many more opportunities. Cunningham is the kind of kid coaches want to coach and, in the end, that may be the finest compliment which can be paid to him (or any other kid). Enjoy the feature.

Griffin Benke from Highlands looking to help get the Bluebirds back where they belong… @Benke_Griffin, @HighlandsFB, @HSphire, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom

June 13, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We scour the commonwealth of Kentucky looking for playing talent on whom to report. We don’t always find the 6’6,” 235-pound DEs and Long Snappers, but we found this one. Griffin Benke has to be among the more imposing players across Northern Kentucky playing the high school game today. He plays for one of Kentucky’s more storied programs. Benke runs the 40 in 4.82-seconds, shuttles in 4.7, has a 30-inch vertical, presses 310-pounds, reps the high school rep weight (185-pounds) 28-times, squats 400, and power cleans 245. This kid is being courted by a ton of D-1s from FCS through the Power 4s. First he has to get the Bluebirds back where that program belongs, in the championship winner’s circle. Enjoy the feature.

Jahshua Frost from Trinity High set for a huge year at corner @TrinityHSFB, @trinitysports, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

June 11, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

You know, one thing about corners, if they are making too many tackles there is something bad wrong going on in the defensive run box. At Trinity, a program with 30, KHSAA football titles, there aren’t too many RBs still on their feet once they reach the defensive third level. Frost’s tackle numbers weren’t stellar (two tackles) but he had two picks, locked down his side of the field, helped his team win its third straight, 6A title, and garnered 12-games of run as just a sophomore playing “Big Boy” football for the KHSAA’s premier program. So, there is that…Enjoy the article.

Is JB Woolum a Mr. Football Candidate? We Think So! @JbWoolum2, @CoachWolford55, @BelfryFootball1, @cadenwoolum11, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @unwiredapp

June 6, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Last year, as a junior, JB Woolum helped lead Belfry to a 12-2 worksheet and a narrow, on the road, loss (5-points, 34-29) to the classification’s title winner (Lexington Christian Academy “LCA”). Woolum registered 82-rushes, 1,066-yards (13-yards a carry), 20-TDs, with 24-receptions, 520-yards, and 6-TDs receiving on offense while scoring 164-points (20-TDs rushing, 6-receiving, a KO return, and a two (2) pointer). On defense, Woolum registered 50-tackles, 1-TFL, and four (4) INTs for 70-IRNYs. On special teams, he returned punts and kicks, housing a KR. Another year like that and we have another “Mr. Football” plaque to place on the field house wall next to Isaac Dixon’s. Is JP Woolum a “Mr. Football” candidate? He is in our book!

Quinton Simon from Highlands High (Fort Thomas, KY) is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week @QuintonSimon29, @HighlandsFB, @HSphire, @Highlandspower1, @PrepRedzone, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball

June 5, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Quinton Simon is an under the radar guy who only got a couple nights run under the “Friday Night Lights.” Still, with limited opportunity, Simon has proven himself an exceptional talent among ’29 WR/LB/DB/KR/ATH across the commonwealth of Kentucky. One could even say Simon has been keeping it very cool there in the Fort Thomas, KY football scene. Simon was a star on the JV in both football and basketball and figures to mature into an every down, multi-phase threat for the Bluebirds in 2026. Simon sports a 3.77-GPA and at 5’10,” 175-pounds, he will be a tough matchup for plenty of opponents going forward. Coach Bob Sphire will be mighty happy, going forward into the ’26 season, to have an offensive/defensive/special teams (returner) weapon on the roster like Simon. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you in that regard at Big Ass Fans!
