Jack Long was medically retired from the active roster in 2025. That doesn’t diminish from a young man who was a heck of a football player over the course of his varsity high school career. Whatever Long’s roll may be going forward, Long will find someway to contribute and his contribution will be meaningful and impactful. That is why he is our Bank of Cadiz, Feature of the Week! Enjoy this look at an extraordinary young man, who accomplished extraordinary type things, both on and off the football field brought to you by our friends and neighbors at the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company.

Colleges are looking for QBs like Fox Coons and who could blame them? @coons_foxx, @WoodfordFBall, @PrepRedzone, @khsaafootball, @KyhighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

March 14, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Fox Coons comes into the ’26 season a “favorite” to challenge for “Mr. Football.” He is 6’5,” 240-pounds and is coming off a year where he threw for over 3,300-yards and 41-TDs. Coons clocked a 4.9-second, 40-yard dash at the Best of the Midwest college combine and registered 4.83-seconds on his “pro agility shuttle.” This kid is playing at the right program too. Coach Dennis Johnson has his team contending yearly for 5A supremacy and making deep, deep playoff runs each and every November/December. Is this coming season the season where the Yellow Jackets break through and walk off Kroger field with a 5A title. Trotting Fox Coons out to run the offense is a pretty good place from which to start. Enjoy this feature.

Gavyn Combs…the Mountain Monster! @GavynXLCombs33, @RecruitMatador, @USArmyBowl, @broncofan4life, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

Gavyn Combs has listed his residence as “Hazard, KY” on his X-Account Bio. When we featured him during the season, he listed Betsy Layne, Kentucky as his domicile. We aren’t too sure what that means, visa vie, where he is likely to play in 2026. Where he plays is a huge story with big implications. Combs is 6’5,” 275-pound nationally ranked combo lineman who also made our Big Ass Fans, Small School All-State FB team a year ago. Combs has long arms, long legs, great big hands and feet, and a frame which could easily jump up to the 295-305 range without losing any quickness or mobility. Combs is the best line prospect the mountains have produced in the previous five (5) to 10-years simply on the strength of his frame. Enjoy the feature.

We are very pleased to welcome Lasaters Coffee & Tea to our growing family of advertisers.

Lasaters is a place one goes to get caffeinated and motivated and couldn’t we all use a bit more of that invigoration in our daily routines. Get by one (1) of our four (4) Christian County, Kentucky locations and enjoy the roasted flavor of a hot cup of warmth and love.

Looking for a physical H-Back, LB, or ATH? Check out Elijah Little… @ElijahL_2k, @CoachHopperton, @trevorhoskins13, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

Elijah Little from Prestonsburg, Kentucky plays for Floyd Central. The Jaguars have been limping around 2A, district seven of late but Trevor Hoskins and company are looking to get that turned around in ’26. It is believe Little can advance that agenda substantially. Little is 6’0,” 200-pounds and completed some passes, averaged around six-yards a carry, was among the team’s leading receivers, was the 6th-leading scorer, was the leading tackler, and was tied for the lead in TFLs. That is a ton of production out of different slots occupied by just the one player. Little is thick, moves well, is aggressive, and physical. Your favorite college program may be searching for someone like that. We know where one may be found. If you read this article, you will also be armed with said knowledge. Enjoy the feature.

Caden Scott is the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company Superior Performance/Exceptional Quality Feature of the Week @KatherineL58069, @Quinbaggett73, @LasatersCoffee, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @davaree_gude6, @TriggFootball, @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers, @murrayFB

Last season we thought we were going to have to start calling them the “Heartbreak Wildcats” if things didn’t start trending differently. Trigg County dropped consecutive, one-point defeats to the toughest of competition under very strange and almost lightening-striking-ish type situations. Still, the play the team was getting from its then-sophomore/rising junior QB was extraordinary. Cade Scott was and still is a superlatively good, three sport, varsity athlete who excels at FB (QB), basketball (SG), and baseball (OF/LHP). He completed nearly 75% of his passing attempts and consistently put the offense in situations where it should and, often did, thrive. Enjoy this feature on this wonderfully gifted and talented young football star.

Drew Anderson from Somerset High the best corner in @khsaafootball’s ’29 graduating class. Period! @DrewAnderson118, @BJNFBALL, @ClayClevenger, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

February 28, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Drew Anderson is among the best ’29’s in the commonwealth of Kentucky. Matter of fact, Prep RedZone has the 5’9,” 170-pounder as the top corner in his class and the 10th highest regarded prospect overall. These guys are a nationally read and recognized as evaluators of football playing talent. This is an opinion which matters, unlike the scads and scores of other opinions you see proffered from individuals not in the business but pretending to be. Our opinion also matters. We believe Drew Anderson is easily among the better corners in his class and has every right to be considered top in his graduating class at that post. To know whether a prospect is or isn’t among the commonwealth’s best, one must first know what else is out there. Today, we will demonstrate for you the qualities, skills, and production which makes Anderson among the leading corners in his graduating class throughout the commonwealth of Kentucky. Enjoy the feature, start taking notes now.

Is Elkhorn’s Preston Schaffer the best RB in the @khsaafootball’s ’30 class? @PrestonSch48255, @Aspirationsgym, @JaylenGarnett24,@bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @ChiefSmoke10, @FCFlyerFootball, @FLYERATHLETICS

Every year there is plenty of talk about some rising 9th grade being the best player at his position entering the high school game. Most of that talk is speculative and said by people who really don’t have a clue about football played outside their respective counties. We are an entirely different matter as we have reported on and followed the KYMSFA for over a decade. When we say an 8th grader, rising 9th grader, is special and will be hard to sit when the season arrives, you should listen to us. We know about what we are talking. Preston Schaffer is such a kid and such a RB. Eddie James is slobbering to get this kid in a uniform and on a playing field. Enjoy the feature.
