We are very pleased to welcome Lasaters Coffee & Tea to our growing family of advertisers. The Kelley family has a very long history in the local football industry and several of the Kelleys have had their numbers retired owing to their familial history of playing excellence. Football has been very good to their family and they look for ways to give back to this very special community. 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. Lasaters, where you aren’t just served; you’re loved.

Kelton Forrester, from Murray High, is the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Co.’s Feature of the Week @MurrayTigers, @MLT_Sports, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom @MurrayLedger, @teeroyhowell, @LasatersCoffee,

June 22, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Kelton Forrester is a kid with a ton athletic ability and potential who was put in tough spots particularly for a freshman on a championship caliber roster at the 3A level. He will be called going forward as many seniors have exhausted eligibility and are headed to play football on Saturdays. Forrester is a track & field prospect in the commonwealth among ’29s and is already enjoying success as a varsity performer. Forrester is the kind of kid coaches want to coach and, in the end, that may be the finest compliment which can be paid to him. Enjoy the feature.

JT Judd from Rowan County is a stud! @VikeN8ionRC, @CoachElfers, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @eCampusdotcom

June 20, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

There are good players on literally every roster no matter. how much that particular roster struggles. We have shown you, the reader, countless examples of this. Coach Kelly Ford’s Vikings aren’t getting a ton of ink these days. One and nine seasons will to that to any program. Still, the Vikings return most of its production from a year ago and JT Judd is a multi-phase, multi-sport stud. Last year, Judd was the ball club’s leading INT guy, leading fumbles recovery specialist, leading rusher, receiver, and scorer. That is leading the ball club in several crucial statistical categories. Heading into ’26, this is a kid who could end up on some all-state teams, like our’s (Big Ass Fans, Large School) for instance. Play hard, young man; we will be watching.

David (Deegan) Ortega, Eminence High, is our @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week @g_mcpeek, @DeeganOrtega, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

June 18, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Back the old days, coaches generally (particularly in high school) would take the best athlete and make him the QB. After all, let your best athlete handled the ball most of the time, right? Coach McPeek is familiar. He’s been around a while. Last year, the year before hiring McPeek, Eminence High had Deegan Ortega at QB. While there he threw for three TDs, ran for five scores, was the second leading scorer and contributed some tackles along the way. What is in store for ’26? You may see Ortega at QB some more but we believe his next level home will be at WR or DB. He is 6’2,” 180, carries a 3.3-GPA, and is one of the best athletes on any field he enters. Oh yeah, before we forget, he is this week’s Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week too. Enjoy the feature.

Will Stickdorn stick at QB for Bullitt East? @GarrettSticky1, @BE_Chargers, @drew_toennies, @BECoachKendrick, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans

June 18, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

The Chargers are not too many years removed from winning a 6A title (2022) in football. Bullitt East didn’t contend in ’25 (7-5) but it isn’t like they were a bad ball club either. The Chargers beat Fern Creek (Lou.) and North Hardin (Elizabethtown) while dropping games to Boyle and Franklin Counties, Manual, Male, and St. Xavier (the last three among the toughest opponents the Derby City can muster in its 6A classification). The Chargers are going to need consistent and reliable QB play in 2026 and we believe we know where they might find that and more. Enjoy this feature.

 TJ Booker, the Christian County Tigers ’29 prospect is our Lasaters ‘Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (or Tea)’ Feature of the Week… @KatherineL58069, @coachclsmit, @ChiefSmoke10, @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @CoachJEzell, @eCampusdotcom, @HenryMi74881410, @HopHighTigers, @FC_FALCONS_FB

There will be those who will tell you the newly consolidated “Tigers,” from Christian County High, will go as far next season as new players like the one we are today featuring can lead them. The newly consolidated school shouldn’t hurt for talent and the Tigers are amassing an array of coaching talent to “put the team through its paces” in its upcoming inaugural season. Regardless, young guns will be critical. Good thing there will be young men roaming the hallways who are also extremely talented. Enjoy this look at one of Hopkinsville, Kentucky more talented prep-level athletes brought to you by your friends and neighbors at Lasaters’s Coffee & Tea where you aren’t just served; you’re loved!

Kenyon Cunningham from Murray High has been strutting his stuff this offseason and is our Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company Feature of the Week @KYHighFootball, @MurrayLedger, @CClakerfootball, @teeroyhowell, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom

June 15, 2026 Fletcher Long 1

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Kenyon Cunningham is simply among the best multi-phase football talents in the Kentucky-wide, KHSAA football game today at any level and a tremendous prospect in more than just football (basketball). Cunningham came to the Murray High roster when his dad got the job and has become among the commonwealth’s most talented players. Cunningham has done nothing but confirm we were all right about him from the beginning. Cunningham is only going to improve over his sophomore season, particularly on offense where he should get many more opportunities. Cunningham is the kind of kid coaches want to coach and, in the end, that may be the finest compliment which can be paid to him (or any other kid). Enjoy the feature.

Griffin Benke from Highlands looking to help get the Bluebirds back where they belong… @Benke_Griffin, @HighlandsFB, @HSphire, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom

June 13, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We scour the commonwealth of Kentucky looking for playing talent on whom to report. We don’t always find the 6’6,” 235-pound DEs and Long Snappers, but we found this one. Griffin Benke has to be among the more imposing players across Northern Kentucky playing the high school game today. He plays for one of Kentucky’s more storied programs. Benke runs the 40 in 4.82-seconds, shuttles in 4.7, has a 30-inch vertical, presses 310-pounds, reps the high school rep weight (185-pounds) 28-times, squats 400, and power cleans 245. This kid is being courted by a ton of D-1s from FCS through the Power 4s. First he has to get the Bluebirds back where that program belongs, in the championship winner’s circle. Enjoy the feature.
