Storm Warning: Central played Union County tougher than many expected, they have the week off then brace to travel to Webster County…

October 9, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Central is off this week. With the injuries we have suffered this season, and with the effect on our bottom line having some of these kids limited has caused, this off week may have come at the exact right time. We need to get healed up and ready for the Webster, Murray, and Crittenden stretch run towards the playoffs. If we run the table, we are assuredly in the playoffs. Enjoy this recap of a game with Union County which was closer than most thought it would be and let’s take a look at the road ahead.

The Feds may shut down @FC_FALCONS_FB but nobody’s shutting down Dixon. He is the Kentucky Comfort Creator/Player of the Week @FC_FALCONS_FB, @KeshawnDixon23, @eCampusdotcom, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @cleats2whistle

This is a special edition of our Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator series. Keshawn Dixon, a senior RB/LB at 2A, Fort Campbell High, is posting some incredible numbers in this, his senior year. Unfortunately, this doesn’t stop the federal government shut down from shutting down his team, his coaches, his teammates, and his assault on the KHSAA statistical website among 2A and KHSAA players. We need to find some way to come together and end the gridlock. That is as close to a political statement as you will ever get from us. If we wanted to talk politics, we would cover it. Enjoy this look at Keshawn Dixon, our Big Ass Fans, Kentucky Comfort Creator!

Storm Warning: Central drops a winnable road game in Russellville but has to turn it around quickly as 3A finalist from last year (Union County, 3-3) is headed for “The Gap” @LasatersCoffee, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning

The Storm welcomes a district one heavyweight to Morton’s Gap this Friday night. Union County comes to Morton’s Gap fresh off a finals appearance in 2024 and a 21-14 win over a Hancock County team coming off an 8-win campaign a year ago and 4-1 entering the contest with Union last weekend. This is a daunting task but certainly not an undoable one. An upset here would be so huge. We have the personnel and ability to deliver such an upset but we have to be on our game, healthy, and playing mistake free/penalty free (pre-snap/composure) football to prevail. Come on out to Morton’s Gap this weekend and take in this first district clash. For all intents and purposes, the real season starts tomorrow night.

Bucket List Game, Trinity and Saint Xavier square off in Louisville this weekend @eCampusdotcom, @TrinityHSFB, @stxtigers, @CoachKWallace, @840WHAS, @FitzOn840WHAS, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans

In the world of Kentucky high school football, a world about which we are undoubtedly familiar, the Trinity/St. Xavier game is often referred to as “The Game.” It is so big neither on campus stadium is viewed as sufficient to host the event. This is why it gets annually played at the stadium which hosts University of Louisville football games instead. This year neither team has lost a game to a Kentucky high school. That changes this weekend. We have taken a deep dive into the matchup, done our homework/research, and have forecast a winner. Let’s see how closely we get this or if we miss altogether. Enjoy the look at a “Bucket List” type event and game.

The Holy War of Lexington…Catholic vs. Christian, how we see it going @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @LCAEAGLESFB, @LexCathFootball, @LasatersCoffee, @Ale8One

September 19, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

It is called the “Holy War.” Lexington Catholic versus Lexington Christian. It is one of the more anticipated rivalry games in the commonwealth of Kentucky. It is getting played tonight and we have taken an in-depth look at the matchup and the men who will play it. We will forecast a winner, then we will wait and see whether we were right or wrong. Enjoy this bit of in-depth analysis and this second Friday article to substitute for the fact we will not be publishing a Saturday article tomorrow morning owing to our time constraints and responsibilities to our radio show, “Friday Night, Kentucky.”

Storm Warning: Central drops a winnable road game at Fort Campbell but has little time for pity parties as Kentucky Country Day (Louisville) is coming to “The Gap” @LasatersCoffee, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning

September 18, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Like we have done in prior seasons, now the games are finally here, we will take the last week’s action and break it down and then look at the road ahead. We had a slight misstep on the road at Fort Campbell this past Friday night and return home to face one of the best 1A teams in the commonwealth of Kentucky, Kentucky Country Day from Louisville. Enjoy this feature and get out to the games this weekend. Remember, your hometown heroes need a little help from you! See you at the game!

Hopkinsville High entertains Prosser Career Academy (Chicago, IL) Saturday Night @KatherineL58069, @bigassfans, @Ale8One, @HopHighTigers, @Prosser_FB

September 6, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Not all games are played on Friday Nights. Increasingly, games are being showcased on Saturdays and even Thursdays. Hoptown is entertaining a public school from Chicago, Illinois tonight. It is the Prosser Career Academy and the Falcons enter the game 1-0 on the young season. Hoptown (1-1) looks to be more than the Falcons can handle on paper at least and we like the Tigers by a sizable margin over the visiting team from Chi-Town. Enjoy this bit of Saturday Night special.

Every week, in addition to our own show (Friday Night, Kentucky) we guest appear on the popular, YouTube podcast, Cleats 2 Whistle. These guys have a segment called “Pick Six” where they set out six big games and invite comment from the dais. We are on the dais. We have picked Raceland at Pikeville. After putting the matter to our editorial board, this is what we have to say on the matter. Enjoy this analysis.

Great Crossing Shocks duPont Manual in Playoffs

November 19, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

The second round of the KHSAA playoffs made me glad I have stopped publishing picks. With the upsets we saw in round two, I would have looked even dumber than I actually am. None of the round two exits were any more surprising than this one. Enjoy the feature.
