Today we wish to recognize and true fixture in the world of KHSAA football. This guy has 27-years experience at the helm of programs at Trigg County, Hopkinsville, and Madisonville North-Hopkins and infinitely more experience as an assistant coach throughout the commonwealth. Also noteworthy is his being the greatest of all time in the world of Kentucky high school powerlifting, which is one heck of a fun cover, by the way. Enjoy this feature about a true Kentucky icon and remember, with Big Ass Fans, let’s keep it comfortable out there Kentucky!

Storm Chasers: The baseball diamond is a great place to find football talent @evans02_mike, @Meloishim3, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

There have been plenty of football stars who also played baseball. We think, on the advent of the opening of baseball around Kentucky, Coach Manning would do well to scour the diamond looking for talent which might serve the football team well this coming season. This has been before tried and successfully. Enjoy the article.

Arion Roach, from Waggener High, is the Protein-packed Performer of the Week @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @WHS_Wildcats_FB, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball

March 12, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

’27 QB,SS had an all-state performance in spite of his team’s struggles in ’24 Arion Roach had an uncharacteristic performance in ’24 for a team which finished the year 0-10. The 6’1,” 195 pound sophomore with the 4.65-second, 40-yard speed, 475-pound squat, and quarter-ton deadlift, found a way to markedly […]

Dan Goble deserved to be inducted into the KHSAA Hall of Fame for what his teams did on the football field. We helped spearhead this push for his induction and successfully. It is one of the noblest callings for which we have ever been summoned. We were honored to be invested in the search for justice and propriety.

Slow Motion Replay: Jon Collins, the “Johnny Appleseed” of the KHSAA @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @FDouglassFB, @TC_CommodoresFB

March 9, 2025 Fletcher Long 5

We call Coach Jon Collins “Jonny Football” around our offices. Partly it is because we can’t come up with a more perfect description than that and we are aware Johnny Manziel was similarly christened. Jon Collins has come to symbolize all which is fantastic about the KHSAA and its member institutions and coaches, be they head coaches or assistants. Once might say that he is an institution. We would say that. Enjoy a rare Sunday article we published just because…

Slow Motion Replay: The Great Danny Sundberg, the pride of Waggener High @WHS_Wildcats_FB, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @HopHighTigers, @SenecaHSFB

March 5, 2025 Fletcher Long 6

His matriculation to UK was ill-timed. When the great Danny Sundberg, the pride of Waggener High arrived on the Wildcat campus, reporting for football camp, the Big Blue had just hired a Bear Bryant assistant named, Charlie Bradshaw. Needless to say, it didn’t go well. Thereafter, Sundberg and several of his Wildcat mates transferred to WKU where Sundberg would earn three varsity letters (1963-65) as a fullback. When you look into the soulful eyes of the man, you see the pain from some hard living welled up inside. You see something else too. You see contentment, you see pride, and you see a guy who has been a hero to so many through the years, this author included. Take a bow, Danny Sundberg. You have earned it.

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

Larry Irvin from Ballard High redefining ‘PeeWee’ ball by becoming the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @BHSBRUINS, @Ballard_Bruins

February 28, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Larry Irvin is called “PeeWee.” That isn’t a name which opponents of the Bruins call Irvin. His performance at times in ’24, as a junior, was down right major league. Irvin turned it on when the playoffs began and led his team past Male High in round two in overtime. Today we celebrate PeeWee Irvin 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!

February 27, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

They were referred to in tandem most of the time. The Kingtons were among the most powerful and explosive players to ever play the game of football on Morton’s Gap. Today, principally, we take a look at the career of Cyrus Kington both on the gridiron and in the weight room. Enjoy this “Blast from the Past” and “Storm Warning” all rolled up into one.
