There will be those who will tell you the newly consolidated “Tigers,” from Christian County High, will go as far next season as players like Tremayne Clay can lead them. Clay is a talent and one of five (5) former Hoptown Tigers to make the Big Ass Fans’s Large School, All-State Football Team. 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, Clay will be critical. Good thing he is 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 the Bank of Cadiz.

William Long exited like he entered; a winner and the “flashback,” Bank of Cadiz Feature of the Week @CentreFootball, @williammlong, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

June 29, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

William Long was featured many times on this forum which was partly created to publicize and support his efforts in the game of football from his middle school days forward. He never asked to be covered and, truthfully, William would have much preferred we not written about him. It has been a somewhat constant source of discord between us, truthfully. The problem has always been that William just kept accomplishing incredible things worthy of the “ink.” On his last official day as a football player, William did it a final time. Enjoy this feature about an athlete who made it a common, everyday, experience to bedazzle and bewilder us with the many accomplishments attributed to him through his many years as a football player.

Traditional ‘Dead Period’ Article, Just So You Know… @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans

June 27, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We are in the midst of a period commonly referenced as Summer Dead Period. The actual period is described and specifically set forth in the Bylaws of The Kentucky High School Athletic Association. Bylaw 24, § 3, under Summer Dead Period, sets forth partially and particularly, as it pertains to subscribers of Kentucky Prep Gridiron, the following…Students […]

Ethan Cobb from Taylor County is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week @Ethan_Cobb946, @TCCardinalsFB, @ScottParkey, @WBH7272, @hudsenc55, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

Ethan Cobb has proven himself an exceptional talent among ’28 IOLs across the commonwealth of Kentucky. One could even say Cobb has been keeping it very cool there in the Campbellsville, KY football scene. Cobb was a starter and every down kind of guy for the Cardinals in 2025 and sports a three-plate (315-lbs.) bench press and a 505-pound back squat. At 5’11,” 275-pounds, that makes him extremely hard to dig out of the A-Gap. Coach Harris has come along to take Scott Parkey’s place at the helm and his staff at Taylor County High will be mighty happy, going forward into the ’26 season, to have an offensive center like Cobb. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you in that regard at Big Ass Fans!

It is “Dead Period,” so a good time to revisit some work formerly published. This is an article we first published in 2019. We thought it would be fun to dust it off and spruce it up and bit and re-run it. That is called having tradition and it lends itself to doing this type thing. Enjoy this look at a former great we greatly miss covering. Owen, if you’re out there, we wish you nothing but success.

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,

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.
