We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Aiden Ellington is a kid with a ton of tough, great size, and who played middle school ball last year and will play varsity this coming Fall. Aiden is only going to improve as he fills out and develops. Ellington is already enjoying success with the powerlifting team on the high school level. Ellington 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.

Silas Sandusky, Trimble County, as versatile and talented as they come @TrimbleGameDay, @NCKCathletics, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee

There are good players on every roster in the commonwealth of Kentucky competing in the sport of football. Silas Sandusky is an example of this principle. If you look at the percentage of production he has contributed to his team’s bottom line in 2025, it is hard to believe he was only a sophomore. Sandusky is the kind of kid this publication exists to find and feature. If we don’t tell you about him, the chances his story will ever be heard is exceedingly remote. You’re welcome.

We heard a player described by a coach who had offered him as a “Football Playing Jesse.” We looked that term up and, what do you know, it really is a thing. A “Football Playing Jesse” is a guy who may not be the right frame, may be a tad small, or a tad slow, or whatever but is just a guy who “does it” when he gets o the field between the lines and under the lights. Today we feature a kid who is as Football Playing of a Jesse as any kid in the KHSAA. Enjoy this look at one of the best football players the commonwealth of Kentucky has competition at any level of competition.

Kenyon Cunningham, from Murray High, is our Bank of Cadiz featured player @KenyonCunn61547, @MurrayTigers, @MLT_Sports, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Kenyon Cunningham is a kid with a ton athletic ability and potential who was put in a very tough spot for any freshman both in the semi-state and then in the championship game. He will be called on to be “The Man” going forward as senior Wyatt Robbins has exhausted his eligibility and is headed to play football for the Murray State Racers. Cunningham is a ranked basketball prospect in the commonwealth among ’29s and is already enjoying success as a varsity basketball player on a 12-2 ball club. Cunningham 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.

Mighty Mayfield will look to England to get back on track in 2026 @MayfieldSchools, @Josiahzay777, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans

England once had an empire so fast the sun never set on it. This article is NOT about that England, it is about the Josiah England who may be the best returning RB/Corner in the KHSAA’s ’27 graduating class. Both Englands are thought of as leaders and noted for excellent performance. In this feature we will take a look at a player who’s junior season was cut short by injury but who showed us, as a sophomore, exactly of what he was capable. England is among the more coveted prospects in his graduating class and a bone fide, D-1 prospect. It will be entirely interesting to see how far he can take this Mayfield club provided he stays healthy in ’26. Enjoy the feature.

Gavin Johnson from Hazard off to fast start; braces for tough stretch run… @Gjohnson1418, @coach_chandler, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @KatherineL58069, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom

We were watching Breathitt and Hazard play last Friday night on the Bluegrass Sports Nation. What stood out to us was the intricate way in which Coach Chandler and his crew utilized screens to chunk off yardage. There was one screen in particular where the ball was rifled to Gavin Johnson and he ran away from Breathitt’s back-third like they were being run in a plowed field. Talk about your “separation speed,” Johnson was showing it off and then some. The fact of the matter, as we approach mid-season, Gavin Johnson has amply demonstrated his being as good a multi-phase athlete as there is anywhere in Kentucky at the small school level (1A, 2A, and 3A). This kid will have to be discussed heading into next year as a possible “Mr. Football” candidate or my name isn’t “Friday Night Fletch.” We all know it is…

Kain Patton (’26 RB) from Prestonsburg is the Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @PrestonsburgHS, @BoysGirls13th, @Wes_Hager, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball

We tried to tell everyone Prestonsburg was back last year when the team posted 11-wins against 2-losses. Everyone got too caught up in P-burg’s late season loss to Breathitt, a Breathitt squad with a very young offensive backfield which had grown up quite a bit by the 1st of November. Anyway, Prestonsburg just beat the best team on its schedule in overcoming Hazard in Prestonsburg this pas Saturday. We don’t see many teams among th remaining seven (7) able to play with the Blackcats. 10-0, here they come. Enjoy this look at Kain Patton, our Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator!

We have identified in the offseason and leading up to the season’s commencement some star guys we foretold would “break out” this year. We are three games into the regular season and many of these guys are doing exactly what we forecast they would be doing. We are going around the horn and checking in on some of these former predictions just to see how we did and where we are. Join us, won’t you?
