Coach Profiles

Luis Lira, from Calloway County, is our Bank of Cadiz featured player @CClakerfootball, @Coach_CobyLewis, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Luis Ira is a ’26 left guard who was an unsung hero for his Laker ball club which experienced, under first year head football coach, Coby Lewis quite the remarkable turnaround. The Lakers went from winless in ’24 to six (6) wins in ’25 and proved a competitive spirit along the way. People around this program are excited about the strides it is making in a city (Murray, KY) getting known as a hotbed of football competitiveness on Kentucky’s western end. Enjoy the feature.

Stay away from the A-Gap, LCA may sport the most imposing Guard/Center combo in the KHSAA @matthewmont57, @LCAathletics, @CoachDCharles, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

Good lines, whether at the high school, college, or even the professional level are solid up the middle. The shortest distance between any two points is a straight line. That is why pressure up the A-Gap, in a straight line to the players handling the football in the offensive backfield, is “no bueno.” LCA didn’t have to concern itself much with A-Gap pressure. The Eagles had a pair of All-State performers in the A-Gap in guard, Matthew Montgomery, and center, Nick Greer. Their continued strong play will be instrumental in any chance the Eagles have to repeat in ’26. With all of the young talent returning to the roster, chances of another title added to the program’s previous two looks like pretty fair odds to us. Enjoy the feature.

TE Seneca Driver from Boyle County FB is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @SenecaDriver, @BCRebelFootball, @LemmingReport, @CoachHaddix11

January 2, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Boyle County, together with the titles won by cross town Danville High, have earned the nickname “Title Town.” Boyle has 13-titles, having just won Justin Haddix’s fifth (5th) title over the previous six (6) seasons. Players like Seneca Driver have much to do with the success. Haddix and his staff seem to regularly produce football playing talent like Driver. Montavin “Q” Quisenberry won “Mr. Football” just a few years ago and Seneca Driver has to be considered an early favorite for that, and many other, awards entering 2026. Enjoy this look at one of the best football players the commonwealth of Kentucky has produced over the last decade or so.

It is the cusp, the eve of a New Year. The previous year was marked with achievement which would see LCA’s football program welcome a new head coach in Oakley Watkins, break in a new OL (welcoming some new star to an outstanding unit from the year before), develop real weapons among the skills, win a 2A title (the school’s second all-time), and brace for a rosy appearing future ahead. In a couple of words, magnificent, glorious. In this article we want to feature our Small School All-Staters, many of whom we have before featured. Enjoy the article and thank you eCampus.com for taking this step to provide worthy high school kids this type recognition and promotion.

Haden Wise, from Fort Campbell, is the Lasaters Coffee & Tea Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (or Tea) Featured Player of the Week @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @FC_FALCONS_FB

December 30, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Haden Wise brings something to the table programs desperately need, particularly programs competing at the 2A classification. Haden Wise has a very versatile skill set with a variety of talents which lend itself well to playing multiple sports. Wise was among the defensive leaders for the Falcons football team this past Fall and is set to man the hot corner (3rd base) and play hind-catcher when baseball gets here this Spring. Both 3rd base and catcher employ skills which lend naturally (and specifically) to playing football. Wise’s multi-faceted, athletic tool belt makes him more, not less, recruitable to colleges around the commonwealth. Enjoy this feature.

Splash Hire! Garry McPeek tabbed for Eminence High Head Football Coaching Job @EminenceFball, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @g_mcpeek, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

December 26, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Not all hires are created equally. From our vantage point, and looking just at the numbers, the McPeek hire at Eminence High looks like a solid hire. Garry McPeek has a world of coaching experience, where he has experienced success and won championships from the Kentucky 1A all the way up to the professional ranks (Arena Football League). What are the chances he will fare well at Eminence High? We would be willing to wager on it and you know how conservative leaning we tend to be. Enjoy the article.

Bryson ‘Cowboy’ Ford, a ’29 multi-phase talent, is the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company Superior Performance, Exceptional Quality Player of the Week @KatherineL58069, @Ahmaariii12, @MurrayQBClub, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @Ale8One, @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers, @murrayFB

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

November 28, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

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.

You haven’t seen the last of North Laurel’s Jude McWhorter @NLJAGSFOOTBALL, @BlueGreyFB, @KatherineL58069, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @CoachNelsonNL

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.
