If there is a matter on which we would readily wager it is whether or not Bryson Ford will be a superstar at the HS level. Ford rendered an all-state, caliber performance over his freshman season playing on a roster in its last year of existence for a high school which is being closed at year’s end and subsumed into a conglomerate high school which figures to have the largest enrollment in KY among public high schools. Ford led the team in tackles as a freshman and was among the leaders in TFLs. That TFLs stat is impressive as getting freshman to play “down hill” is no easy tack. Enjoy this look at a players everyone around western KY seems to be discussing, including us.

John Paul Carrico, ’28 OL from Owensboro Catholic, is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans @JohnPaulCarrico, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @SouthWarrenFB, @IamChaseBell15

You can’t coach height. You can’t coach length. There are measurements and characteristics or traits the Good Lord bequeaths you or doesn’t. Let’s just call John Paul Carrico amply blessed. Carrico is a ’28 lineman playing for an elite 2A program which seems yearly in the chase for a title. The Aces will entertain Beechwood’s Tigers and that is a tough draw for any team this late in November. Carrico is 6’8,” 295-pounds with an 80-inch reach and 35-inch arms. He also has anywhere from a 3.75 to a 4.0 GPA and his “dance card” is filling up fast. Enjoy this serial article awarding the Big Ass Fans “Kentucky Comfort Creator” to his long, tall, lengthy, and athletic lineman from Owensboro.

If you grew up in the 80s, you were familiar with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s line from the movie, “Terminator,” “I’ll be back.” That line has been spoofed and repeated, ad nauseam. Well it is applicable here. This ’27 prospect, Jude McWhorter, for North Laurel will be back; and, if he replicates his ’25 performance over the course of 2026, may find himself smack-dab, in the middle of a “Mr. Football” race. Steven Nelson is doing a fine job with the program and the Jaguar faithful have never seen its prospects appear much rosier than right now. Enjoy the feature.

This football season is over for the Mustangs from Muhlenberg County. The ‘Stangs finished five up and five down, won the last game of the regular season (42-0), and head into the offseason with plenty about which to be excited concerning the direction of the football program, overall. There is talent in the ’28, ’29, and even the ’30 and ’31 classes. We take a look at whom did what down on the farm this season and what is returning for next fall in a tough, six-team, first district (5A) which features Owensboro Senior and Madisonville-North Hopkins at the top vying for supremacy both district-wide and Kentucky-wide. Enjoy.

Storm Warning: It is a ‘new season’ and the Storm will travel to Munfordville to face the Hart County Raiders… @LasatersCoffee, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning

We get to travel to Munfordville and play the Hart County Raiders this coming weekend. That is a very hard place to have to play and the Raiders (8-2) are a very well coached (Chad Griffin), and red hot team. The Raiders opened the year with a 4-point loss to Logan County (4A, 8-2) in Russellville. That should tell you something about the talent we will be playing in round one. Still, we have some pieces which might well trouble the Raiders; and, where two teams enter a football field, either of them may emerge, on any give night, the victor. We need this game and are hoping our seniors can rise up and deliver it. Let’s get ready to car-pool to Murray, KY and cheer our boys onto victory. First read this…it will get you prepared for the road ahead.

Garyon Hobbs may be the best ’27 player in the KHSAA at any level. Many of the recruiting services are of this opinion. Many of the Division I, FBS football coaches in the surrounding areas concur. Hobbs plays for a team which has become among the hottest teams in the KHSAA. Atherton High, whom we call the “Big A-Train” around the magazine but which prefers to be called “The Big A-Factory,” has developed into a team others would just as soon not see on the schedule. Atherton, for years, was a joke in certain KHSAA circles but isn’t funny at all anymore since the arrival of its enigmatic, young, energetic young head football coach, Anthony White. Enjoy this look at the Ravens from Atherton High who are sure to make some noise at the 5A level in this season’s playoffs. Don’t be surprised if the Ravens hang around quite a while.
