Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Cam Alsip! @BJNFBALL, @ZashaJones77, @kaeden_bean, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @CountyMustangs

Cam Alsip is the type of high school player we LOVE to cover. He’s a hard worker, kills it in the weight room, all the while looking like a mild mannered, Academic team member. Yeah, Clark Kent didn’t look like much either, at least not in glasses. This kid is busting his tail to get better and it will translate onto the field. With 15-TFLs, 6.5 sacks, and five (5) FFs in ’24, how much better can this kid possibly get? I feel sorry for the kids trying to block this monster. Enjoy the feature.

Slow Motion Replay: Marvin Dantzler has made a career doing the hard right over the easy wrong and winning the day!

April 18, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

We talk often about the versatility of the player we feature on this site. How about coaching versatility? Coach Marvin Dantzler has won a KHSAA title (Central, 2018) to go with two OSSAA titles at John Marshall High in Oklahoma City (2010, 2011) in Track & Field. In football, to go with the title in 2018, Dantzler’s teams have made six (6) semis, won six (6) regions, and made 13-playoff appearances. Dantzler has been the Oklahoman COY twice, Regional COY, OTCA COY, Tulsa World COY, and a four (4) time KHSAA District COY. If he isn’t one of Kentucky’s all-timers, he soon will be. We think the time for him is RIGHT NOW! Enjoy this feature.

The @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator is Dishawn Donaldson from Doss @CountyMustangs, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @Dishawn_2, @CoachMville, @DossdragonsFB

Donaldson has an interesting motto, and one we whole heartedly support. His motto is “Roam the Field, Never Yield.” Heck yeah, young stud! That is what you want from a guy who is playing DB/some Nickel, and SS. That is what you want from a two-year starter heading into his third year. That is what you, as a coach, definitely want from a senior leader. Things have been looking up for the Doss Dragons. They were 7-4 a year ago and dropped a four-pointer to Spencer County in the opening round of the playoffs. Lots of weapons return. We like Doss heading into the race for the District 3 crown. Enjoy the feature and let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky!

Storm Warning: Remembering Central great, ‘McNairy on the Carry!’ @HopkinsCentral, @CountyMustangs, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @_CoachManning

The offseason is a great time to look back on special times and special players. A wise man once said that people who failed to learn from their own histories were forever doomed to repeat them. I can’t speak for any of you but I would enjoy four more years of Calil McNary. Enjoy this look back at a player who showed he was special in middle school and never showed us anything different in HS.

Christopher Dezern, ’28 ATH from Pulaski County, is the @minguabeefjerk Protein-packed Performer of the Week @cdezern21, @coachtaburns, @CoachYoung41, @PCHSFB, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

April 16, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

You know we usually give this award to a player who counts among his team’s, district’s, region’s or even the Bluegrass’ very best at his position. Everyone has to start somewhere and sometimes a kid who gets five (5) games of varsity run on one of 5A’s more stacked rosters is deserving of some recognition and some world famous, all-beef jerky products. Christopher Dezern got quite a bit of play for a frosh a year ago and looks to get a ton of PT this coming season. Enjoy this feature on a kid very deserving of some of the world’s finest beef jerky products and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor out there in Pulaski County, KY.

’28 Tripp Setliff at Huntington High, could we see him in the KHSAA before all is said and done? @setlifftripp, @Mikesetliff3, @khsaafootball @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans

April 15, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Tripp Setliff is a guy we saw quite a bit from on the Future Stars circuit. He played on the KY Future Stars team in seventh and eighth grade. He is a hulking interior guy who has done quite a bit of work on his feet, speed, spacial quicks, and explosion. He is rounding into a top-flight interior OL in the KY/WV area and is at Huntington High presently. Could we see this kid migrate down south to play for a Kentucky High School? Well, you know anything is possible and very similar like moves have been before tried and successfully. Enjoy this feature.

Slow Motion Replay: Remembering Doug Thompson from Greenville High @CountyMustangs, @UKFootball, @KHSAA, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

April 14, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Doug Thompson was one of Greenville High’s better all-time players. He died tragically of cancer, leaving this world and a bevy of good friends way sooner than anyone would have liked. Thompson was a very versatile athlete for Coach Ron Wigglesworth’s Blackhawks and was all-district in four (4) separate sports simultaneously. Thompson and his teammates were a testament to what good a group of benefactors can do when they recognize the benefits of a football program and what it provides both a community and its youth. Thank God for all of those guys.

Shannon Lofton is ready for the blow-up and is coming out! @shannondupree21, @ScottParkey, @WBH7272, @TCCardinalsFB, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

April 12, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Shannon Lofton came out of MS and led his Region I, Battle of the Region, team to the tournament championship. Region I has been gaining in both stature and prestige in that tournament as Region I high schools have been benefitting from the boost in talent being added to the roster each Fall. Shannon Lofton is a guy who should break out onto the high school scene for the Cardinals this year and in a big, big way. You will hear of him plenty this coming season. Enjoy the feature.

Cody Gibson is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @CountyMustangs, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball,@CodyGibson7443, @GRCHS_Football, @GRC_Strength

April 11, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Cody Gibson is a good looking OL prospect from George Rogers Clark High in Winchester, KY. Gibson is 6’3,” weighs 255, with good length, good feet, and with a 295-pound bench and a 225-pound power clean, the kid has good strength and explosion which only figure to improve. This is a ’26 kid we expect to see some college programs get after. Gibson list DL among his positions, though he has mostly been a one-platoon guy along the offensive front. Enjoy this feature about a kid whose performance made the unbearable heat a tad more bearable and who hopes his performance brings comfort to the home fans around Winchester, KY this upcoming Fall. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard.

Storm Warning: Former Maroon and Murray State Racer matriculates to Morton’s Gap to join up with the Storm @HCCHS_Football, @jordanv89292975, @CountyMustangs, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans

Jordan Vaughn was a player we covered regularly when the ’20 OL was owning defenders around Madisonville North-Hopkins. Now the OL coach, who played for Murray State in college, is moving from the OL coach at South Hopkins (Coach Logan) up to the varsity program at Central. The lines of scrimmage are where championships are both won and lost. Central is bringing in a “big gun” in the hopes he provides the edge the program needs to take its next step. Enjoy the feature.
