Carson Powers, from Ohio County, is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator this Week @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @ohiocofootball, @OCEagleFootball

March 21, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Ohio County struggled through an 0-11 campaign in 2024. That doesn’t mean the Eagles won’t be significantly improved in 2025. Matter of fact, we believe the prospects for the Ohio County Eagles are considerably rosier than this time a year ago. One bright spot was the play of Carson Powers and he returns. 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 Hartford, KY over his senior year. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard.

JoaQuinn Drake from Butler Traditional is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @JoaQuinn15Drake, @_ButlerFootball, @bigassfans,

March 19, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

JoaQuinn Drake from Butler Traditional is our Mingua Beef Jerky Protein-packed Performer. He had 32-tackles, broke up 15-passing attempts, had a pair of tackles for loss, and didn’t allow a single TD in 178 pass coverage snaps. That is quite remarkable on a team which finished 2-9 and toward the bottom of the Kentucky RPI for 5A programs. Sometimes it is the guys who perform in spite of the performances around them who really astonish us. This guy here is a player colleges in the area should really study. You know, good corners are hard to find. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to pick up some world famous jerky products from Mingua Beef Jerky and “SavorTheFlavor.”

Mustang Stampede: Muhlenberg County is a program on the rise! @CountyMustangs, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball

March 18, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

We are pleased to announce we are getting in the “Mustang business” this season, the Muhlenberg County variety. This is a program which is developing talent at an impressive clip and has a core group of young talent coming up from middle school ready to compete for “Friday Night PT” as 9th graders. Some of them have the frame, power, strength, and explosion to “plug in” and they will certainly have the guidance. Brighter days are dead ahead Greenville. We will be very pleased to bring it to you right here on our forum.

Trever Hardesty from Muhlenberg County is the Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week! @tjoinerfb3, @1027TheGame, @CountyMustangs, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

March 7, 2025 Fletcher Long 1

Greeneville, Kentucky has been described by one of our generation’s finest folk artists and song writers (John Prine) as “paradise.” We don’t know about that, but don’t dispute it, but we do know the Mustangs have some enviable, young talent to mix in with some big-time returners for the ’25 Fall season. One of those returners is Trever Hardesty who, we have been assured, will NOT come off the field next season. Today we celebrate Trever Hardesty as he earns the week’s coveted Kentucky Comfort Creator Award from Big Ass Fans. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it comfortable out there Kentucky!

Storm Warning: Isaac McKnight showed glimpses which should make Storm Chasers pretty excited @evans02_mike, @Meloishim3, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

We have been highlighting versatility and utility pretty hard for over a year now. These are prized attributes, ask any football coach. We are telling you about players, coaches, and events which are such a rich part of the fabric of the KHSAA that these stories deserve to be told, these fanciful yarns deserve preservation. This is another of those today. Today, we are highlighting a guy who really played well as a sophomore finding the lineup for eight (8) of the team’s 11-games. What will he do as a junior? Quite a bit we wager.

Kris Hughes from Somerset High is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @krishughes2026, @BJNFBALL, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball

March 5, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Kris Hughes is a “Dude.” If you are unfamiliar with that term and its meaning, you need to read our book. There is a link at the bottom of his article. Hughes scored 29-TDs in multiple phases of the game in ’24 as a junior. He picked a pair of passes, housing one for a “pick-six.” He is also the 5th leading rusher and scorer in Somerset history and we are talking about one of the more accomplished histories in the KHSAA. What will he do for an encore? He just may win ’25’s Mr. Football, that’s what. Enjoy the world’s very finest in meat jerky products and enjoy reading about this week’s Protein-packed Performer. #SavorTheFlavor

JaCaryous Perryman from @FC_FALCONS_FB is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

February 21, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

One doesn’t get much more versatile than Fort Campbell’s JaCaryous “JP” Perryman. Last season, as a junior (’26), Perryman rushed for 603-yards, housed seven (7)-TDs rushing, completed 62-passes for 912-yards and 13-TDs, caught four (4) passes for 62-yards and a TD, housed eight two-pointers, registered 20-tackles, forced two fumbles, recovered one, and picked a pair of passes for 5-IRNYs. Say all of that three times really fast. The guy is a fantastic athlete who competes in multiple sports for his high school which competed at a high level a year ago in winning half its games. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it cool out there Kentucky!

We have been hitting the history of the game we love better than any other this offseason pretty hard. Thing is, if we don’t do this then who will? We are telling you about players, coaches, and events which are such a rich part of the fabric of the KHSAA that they deserve to be told, they deserve preservation. This is another of those today. Today, we highlight a guy who is among the best QBs to ever grace the playing service on Morton’s Gap. Ladies and gentlemen…the great Mike Evans.
