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.

February 26, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Cade Scott has everything big-time programs covet among QBs. He is tall (6’5″), well put together (200-pounds), with plenty of bounce (varsity basketball star) and a versatile skill set athletically and intellectually (4.14 GPA). Scott, like so many other Kentuckians, is a football/basketball combo guy who several D-1s are noticing, including the three (3) who have already offered. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Slow Motion Replay: Remembering the late Poppa Joe (Jaggers) @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @KHSAA

February 25, 2025 Fletcher Long 12

He was lovingly referred to, throughout Kentucky, as “Poppa Joe.” He was also called the “Bear Bryant” of Kentucky High School football. Joe Jaggers, the patiarch of the first family of Kentucky High School football, died at the age of 81 in 2022. Jaggers was a 1958 graduate of Caldwell County High and a 1963 graduate of WKU where he played both football and golf. Jaggers was inducted into the Dawahare, KHSAA Hall of Fame in 1993. Enjoy this look back into the past at one of Kentucky’s all-time greats.

BJ Flowers appears (to us) to be blooming @itsbjflowers, @malehighschool, @MaleBulldogs, @CoachMarcAClark, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans

February 22, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

BJ Flowers is like many young, talented athletes attending big-time, 6A schools with powerhouse football programs. Some of these guys struggle to see the field until their junior years. Flowers is a ’27 whose work on the JV was noteworthy. We believe Flowers is poised to make a splash in the Male defense this coming Fall. He has the skills. He has the tools. Does he have the “want to?” Only time will tell for sure. Enjoy this feature about a kid who is ready to make his move in ’25.

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.

Timmy Williams from Trigg County High ready to rebound from injury @TriggFootball, @CoachEzell45, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @KyHighFootball

February 18, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Timmy Williams, a ’28 athlete and quarterback, came out of the middle school ranks among the more ballyhooed prospects the western Kentucky MS ranks could muster. Williams was off to a fast start when he got derailed by injury in the second week. If this guy can stay healthy, he could have a really solid sophomore campaign. So could the Trigg County Wildcats who have stepped down to 2A and will now face Mighty Mayfield on a yearly basis.
