Chase Bell and Camden Page look to battle it out preseason for the QB-slot at South Warren vacated by Bryce Button’s graduation. South Warren is coming off a 12-2 season where it was arguably the second best team in 5A in ’24. Where will they figure into the 6A title chase? Well, we don’t know. We would suppose they will go as far as either Page or Bell carries them. Chase Bell is a ’28 guy with an incredible frame and athleticism so impressive Maryland has already offered. Bell’s frame and growth potential are carrying the day for him as he is our Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator this week. Let’s keep it cool out there KY.

Storm Warning, with nothing left but some Sevens throws, two scrimmages, and the opener what should we see from the Storm in ’25? @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

It is that time of year. We are all coming out of the “Dead Period” and we want to know how our hometown, high school football team is likely to fare in the coming season? We have taken an in-depth look into one of our favorite teams, Hopkins County Central, and have attempted to forecast that very thing. Enjoy this breakdown of the Storm’s team and upcoming season. Let’s brace for the glorious season ahead enjoying this country’s greatest and most significant export.

Hulking TE from North-Hopkins (Madisonville), Jayden Travis is our Protein-packed Performer of the Week @Jayden_travis87 @markezz_25, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @Maroon_FB_MNHHS, @price_kadence

It is easy to get caught up in the Markezz Hightower fan fare. Hightower is a fantastic ball player, an all state running-back, and coming off a near 1,800- total yards season with 21-TDs scored running and receiving. That aside, Hightower isn’t running a one-man band over there at North. Jayden Travis is a hulking TE with good speed, excellent power numbers, a fine GPA, and a 280-pound power clean evidencing tremendous explosion. Travis is coming off a 25-reception season himself and that is darn-fine playing on a run first team at the TE slot. This guy will field some offers in short order. If he has the kind of season in ’25 he had in ’24, look out 5A because the Maroons will be looking to improve drastically over the 7-4 it posted in ’24. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to pick up some world famous jerky products from Mingua Beef Jerky and “SavorTheFlavor.”

There was a movie released by Disney in 1994 entitled “Angels in the Outfield.” It was a remake of a 1951 film of the same name. The remake starred Danny Glover, Tony Danza, and Christopher Lloyd and resulted in two (2), made for TV sequels. The movie was about a young child, in foster care, sarcastically told his family would reunite “when the Angels win the pennant” by his newly widowed father. Roger, the young boy who is the movie’s protagonist, prays for such and a group of angels appeared to help the team. At the end of the day, it was explained that while the “Angels in the outfield” helped the team surge to the top of the division, the “Angels” could not help the team win a title or championship. Well, Lincoln County looks to have gotten some Angelic assistance of its own in a 6’3,” 335-pound OL transfer from Southwestern with the surname of Flores. There are no heavenly imposed limitations on his assistance. Enjoy the feature.

The ‘White Rhino’ hoping to hit the lineup for St. Xavier sooner rather than later @JaxonFrench29, @coacharichman, @Trent_Steelman, @CoachKWallace, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

We are just a few days from coming out of the abyss we affectionately know as “The Dead Period.” The season lies in wait for us on the other side. One thing we do offseason is inform readers about some of the stars coming out of middle school who figure to contribute right off the bat. Jaxon French is certainly a ’29 we could see working himself into the lineup early. He is 6’3,” 200-pounds and clips off 40-yards in the 4.5s. He is so good in the weight room he is called the “Iron Giant.” He is such a rarity as an athlete he is also nicknamed the “White Rhino.” Regardless of what you call him, if you’re calling football games at St. Xavier this Fall, you will be calling out his name sooner or later. Enjoy the feature.

Dayton Kron is the Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @DaytonKron1, @BECoachKendrick, @BE_Chargers, @N_W_Sports, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

July 4, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Dayton Kron is a talented kid who looks to land at the next level easily. Kron is being courted heavily by Hanover, Hampton-Syndney, and DePauw University, among others. One secret to his success is that the 6’1,” 225-pounder can play DE or can long snap. That type versatility is extremely important for a small college program who may find offering Kron is a “ton of bang for its buck.” In any event, Kron is performing at a very high level for a team which plays in Kentucky’s largest competitive classification. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard.

Storm Warning: Kaijain Hayes back for his sophomore season looking to fulfill his immense promise @CoachJRiley_, @hayes_kaijain, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

KJ Hayes came up from middle school with tremendous promise. We predicted he would start varsity as a freshman. We were right. Hayes was put into the starting lineup after the opener where he remained until being lost to injury the fifth game of the year. Hayes has rehabbed this injury, reports being back 100%, and is looking forward to getting back on the field and giving his all to the fans, his teammates, and brothers. We predict a break out year for Cajun Hayes in ’25 and believe as he goes, so goes the Storm to a large extent. Enjoy this feature about a kid who plays an important role on this team and a guy about whom you may have well forgotten.

Jacob Litteral from Raceland Worthington High School is quite literally our Mingua Beef Jerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @jlitt56, @racelandramsfb, @Bryson1Rowsey, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @Ott_Football

There are loads of exceptions offensive linemen in Kentucky who may not have the “frame” and measurements to get recruited to the SEC or some other NCAA Division I (Power 4) conference type program. This doesn’t mean football isn’t in the cards and it certainly doesn’t mean the young men so afflicted won’t have tremendous college football experiences. Jacob Litteral is quite literally a beast, a dog, and a future college football player. Heck, a very good Ohio Athletic Conference team, from Westerville, OH (Otterbein), is all over this guy and who could possibly blame them? I am hoping this article gets some commonwealth programs on this guy, as we would like to see him stay home. Enjoy this feature on a kid very deserving of some of the world’s finest beef jerky products and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor out there in Raceland, KY.

The Barber of Bowling Green! Is he headed for a ‘Mr. Football?’ @BarberTrevy, @PurplesFootball, @CoachSpader, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball

July 1, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Figaro, the Barber of Seville, sings in the song, “Largo al factotum” that he has a role as the tows “factotum;” meaning Figaro does everything and is constantly in demand. Kind of sounds like Trevy Barber, the Barber of Bowling Green Senior High doesn’t it? Barber has a tremendous junior year where he led Bowling Green to another 5A championship catching 79-balls, for 22-TDs, housing a kick, and playing some defense while leading the team in scoring 9.2-points per in its fifteen (15) games played. What’s there left to do? Well, we believe this guy is a solid choice and frontrunner for the coveted “Mr. Football” award upcoming. If you were to bet on him, right now, to win that award it would be a solid wager. Enjoy this feature.

Checking in with Bo Wolford from Belfry @wolford_bo, @BelfryFootball1, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @WYMT, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans

June 30, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

We have been covering Bo Wolford since he was in middle school. We have hailed him as among Kentucky’s best IOL prospects for that long. Belfry has the 6’3,” 305-pounder on the edge playing tackle. We aren’t sure he has the length to do that at the next level. Wolford’s “next level” appears to be somewhere in the NCAA’s Division I; from Ivy League, to mid-major, to (maybe) even Power Four. Regardless, there is the matter of a championship to win for Belfry High. Belfry has moved down to 2A and may not find the sledding much easier through the top of that classification which Belfry is poised to join. Enjoy this “Check-in” with one of our all-time, favorite offensive linemen.
