Today we decided to spotlight a freshman footballer who was a middle school star and who is looking to find the field under the “Friday Night Lights” sooner rather than later. This time, one of our most devoted sponsors, Big Ass Fans, decided it wanted in on the fun of looking at player whose tomorrows look brighter than their todays. We feature a freshman who is a two-way trenchman with a good frame and tremendous work ethic and length. He doesn’t pout. He doesn’t hang his head about where he is being slotted. He just does his job. Those are attributes which will make him a star in the game of football across our great commonwealth. Big Ass Fans out of Lexington, Kentucky is one of our most prized and beneficial relationships in the corporate world. This article is a regularly appearing, Friday serial similar to some of the sponsored content we have before published here. Big Ass Fans has committed itself to quality more than the mere size of its industrial sized fans. The product is backed by commitment to performance, reliability, and innovation which has been a driving force behind the company in the twenty or more years it has existed. Enjoy this feature.

First of all, we apologize for this article being so long. However, if you really have an interest in KHSAA football you should read it anyway. In this article we analyze 15-huge matchups. These are the critical matchups which will shape classification races as we embark on this 2026 season. We will be talking about these games plus some others come Saturday morning on “Friday Night Kentucky.” Thanks for your support.

LCA travels to Danville for the Rebel Bowl to play a 5A finalist in Pulaski County; we pick a winner in this week’s @eCampusdotcom Big Men on the eCampus Feature of the Week @eCampusdotcom, @nick_greer2028, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @LCAEAGLESFB, @CoachDCharles, @matthewmont57, @Oakley_Watkins, #Kentuckys #fletcherwlong #LeadershipLegacy #CoachingExcellence #MentorshipMatters #characterbuilding #SportsLeadership #BuildingChampions #kentuckyfootball #highschoolfootball #DisciplineAndDedication #athletics #successmindset #bookstagram #booklovers

We are doing something a little different this year. We will highlight individual performances like last season but we also want to give fans a “scouting report” on some of the pivotal games. This week, at the Rebel Bowl, the Eagles will play a team and be cast in an unfamiliar role; the role of “underdog,” a role to which LCA isn’t very accustomed. However, if the Eagles can emerge from this game 2-0, with consecutive wins over a quality 6A squad (North Hardin) and a 5A finalist from 2025 (Pulaski County), think of the boost it will provide the team’s RPI! Enjoy the scout. Go Eagles!

Sayre comes off a big battle against last year’s champion (Kentucky Country Day) looking to Jake Morita to set the pace! #Kentuckys #fletcherwlong #LeadershipLegacy #CoachingExcellence #MentorshipMatters #characterbuilding #SportsLeadership #BuildingChampions #kentuckyfootball #highschoolfootball #DisciplineAndD

Jake Morita is a weapon defensively at the second level of the Spartan defense. In addition to playing TE on offense, the 6’2, 205-pound junior mans a linebacker post and holds down a 4.2-GPA in a very ambitious and difficult college preparatory curriculum. Sayre had a big opener last night against a team which is defending at the 1A level and only returned three (3) starters, per side, from off its championship roster from a year ago. How did this all resolve? Better read this article, this morning, and we’ll tell you. Tune us in over the radio on “Friday Night Kentucky” and we’ll talk about it.

We are doing something a little different this week. This week, we are scouting the opening opponent for the Christian County Tigers and forecasting a winner. This was shot around the table at our weekly editorial board meeting and wildly and excitingly discussed. The Longs like the Tigers in the matchup and the remaining table liked the Jaguars. It was 3-2. Can’t get much closer. Anyway, this is who we see it and this is the magazine’s official position. Enjoy the scout and don’t forget to get by one or Lasater’s four county wide locations and remember; at Lasaters you aren’t just served, you’re loved!

Middle School Spotlight: Landon Asher from North Laurel standing out against his competition @Landonashr, @CoachFipps, @CoachWillStein, @KHSAAFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, #Kentuckys #fletcherwlong #LeadershipLegacy #CoachingExcellence #MentorshipMatters #characterbuilding #SportsLeadership #BuildingChampions #kentuckyfootball #highschoolfootball #DisciplineAndDedication #athletics #successmindset #bookstagram #booklovers

Assessing bigs is a tough, tall task. Assessing rising 8th grade left tackles who are 6’7,” 320-pounds can be equally challenging. Landon Asher comes out of a middle school program which traditionally wins KYMSFA titles and produces top-flight talent. Asher would fit that bill pretty dad-burn well. Asher is a behemoth, gargantuan lineman who plays at a high pad level now but who we believe will develop into a highly recruited young man before his high school career is concluded. Asher is a ’31 guy who figures to challenge for varsity reps early in his career. Remember from where you heard all of this first.

There are usually plenty of skill guys around a 6A program. That is the benefit of having such large enrollments in a sparsely populated state or commonwealth like Kentucky. The 6A programs which thrive are the programs which can produce and develop big men like Alex Schuster. When you have an All-State QB like Zane Johnson, the last thing a program needs is to permit easy access to him right up the A-Gap. So Trinity, the standard for 6A football in the commonwealth, protects its investment with a 300-pound interior guy with a 495-pound back squat and a 750-pound pull. Great idea! Today’s feature about a kid who is as good at the center slot as one might see in the Derby City.

Ryder Sandidge, from North Hopkins High School (Madisonville) is poised for a huge season… @RSandidge2027, @Maroon_FB_MNHHS, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, #Kentuckys #fletcherwlong #LeadershipLegacy #CoachingExcellence #MentorshipMatters #characterbuilding #SportsLeadership #BuildingChampions #kentuckyfootball #highschoolfootball #DisciplineAndDedication #athletics #successmindset #bookstagram #booklovers

The season is literally a week or so from commencement. It is going to be an exciting season like it generally is. There are tons of questions abound as the beginning to 2026 looms. One of those is how profound of a performance may we expect from one of Western Kentucky’s brightest and more versatile stars? Ryder Sandidge has a different gear. If you have ever seen him play, you know what we are describing. Just when you think you have pulled even with Ryder, and are about to overtake him, he hits “that gear” and you are left grasping for a ghost, trying to corral that which is no longer there. We have seen him hit that separation speed in many games, in many “Sevens” throws. Now it is time to access it during his “Swan Song” of a senior season. Enjoy this look at one of the KHSAA’s better commonwealth wide athletes and versatile pieces of high school football equipment and personnel. Enjoy the feature.
