Sometimes individual performances give rise to promise and expectation for the future even where it came in a blowout victory against a pretty stout opponent. This past weekend the Trigg County Wildcats put it all over Fulton County 41-12 and several Wildcats had really big performances. Coach Curtis Higgins’s ‘Cats improved to 4-6 and are hoping to travel to Owensboro and (perhaps) surprise an Aces team very much considered a “title contender” at the 2A level. Zamarrion Broussard had another strong night and turned in a multi-TD scoring effort. These kids getting all these valuable live game reps will pay off before too much longer and Broussard coming up, big-time, in pivotal moments will too. It just goes to show, one has to be omnipresently prepared, ready. This week our jacket patch goes to the junior WR/DB/Athlete who played his butt off in a pivotal moment, giving his team victory. He has been expected this year to be prepared, to be ready, and to perform and, thus far, he hasn’t disappointed. Enjoy this look at Zamarrion Broussard who is our Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company All-State Player of the Week and another patch-recipient as we brace for the ’26 season’s “second season.”

The standout star for Murray High School (KY) is Ryan Walls, a highly touted four-star offensive lineman. Walls is widely ranked as the #2 overall player in the state of Kentucky and a top-10 interior offensive line prospect nationally for his class. Walls has been a cornerstone of the line, starting every varsity game over his freshman and sophomore seasons to lead Murray High. Walls was also th State Shot Put Champion a year ago as only a sophomore. Walls’ dominant run-blocking at left tackle permits Murray’s offense to operate at a massive advantage, clearing paths for top rushers like Bruce Willis (’27 QB) who is averaging 187.0 rushing yards per game this season. Enjoy the feature.

Sometimes individual performances give rise to promise and expectation for the future even where it came in an unsuccessful bid for a victory. This past weekend the Trigg County Wildcats were narrowly beaten by a Crittenden team who had to have felt fortunate to escape the encounter. The loss aside, and dropping to 1-5 on the year aside, the Wildcats still found elements about which to feel like there its considerable promise for the future under legendary coach, Curtis Higgins. Connor Bellows had another strong night and returned a pivotal kickoff 52-yards to give his team a chance when it needed a chance the most. These kids getting all these valuable live game reps will pay off before too much longer and Bellows coming up, big-time, in pivotal moments will too. It just goes to show, one has to be omnipresently prepared, ready.

Sometimes individual performances give rise to promise and expectation for the future even where it came in an unsuccessful bid for a victory. This past weekend the Trigg County Wildcats were hammered by a Caldwell team which has looked good all season in the 139-Bowl. That loss aside, and dropping to 1-4 on the year aside, the Wildcats still found elements about which to feel like there its considerable promise for the future under legendary coach, Curtis Higgins. MarQayvion Green had a strong night rushing the football and Caden Scott, who has come off injury, showed resilience under heavy pressure, shrugging off sack attempts to keep plays moving in the second half. These young kids getting all these valuable live game reps will pay off before too much longer. It just goes to show, one has to be omnipresently prepared, ready. This week our jacket patch goes to the young freshman who played like anything but a freshman (MarQayvion Green). He has been expected this year to be prepared, to be ready, and to perform and, thus far, he hasn’t disappointed. Enjoy this look at young MarQayvion Green who is our Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company All-State Player of the Week and another patch-recipient as we enter mid-season and district play.

I was watching a college football game on television last night (September 12, 2026) and Georgia Tech had a monster at TE who couldn’t be stopped. Over and over again the Ramblin’ Wreck kept targeting this 6’9,” 270 pounder over the middle of the defense. It was impressive. I would have run it until someone showed me it could be stopped or even slowed a bit. The kid for Georgia Tech was named Kevin Roche, Jr. and he hailed from Connecticut. Murray High has such a TE and his name is Owen Howell. Howell is a 6’4,” 220-pounder with a 4.7-GPA and a 29 on his ACT. Scores like that and you can gain admission to Georgia Tech or anywhere else you might want to go. Enjoy this look at Howell as he is our Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company weekly featured player.

I was on a podcast and remarked that one of the superlative athletes rostered on the Christian County Tigers team needed to stand up and be “Daddy.” Every team has a dog and perhaps we learned on the road at McKenzie that Jalen Ray is ours. The Tigers got a big win, its first program win, on the road against a ranked TN opponent and one has to wonder aloud what this does for the season prospects from this point forward? This week our jacket patch goes to s senior WR who came up “big time” when it mattered most, Jalen Ray. Ray will be expected to be prepared, be ready, and to perform at a very high level as this journey we call the 2026 football season continues. Enjoy this look at young Jalen Ray who is our Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company All-State Player of the Week and third patch-recipient this young season.

With apologies to the late Yogi Berra, you will have to forgive us if what happened Friday night in Hartsville felt a little like déjà vu all over again… For what amounts to the third season in succession, the Wildcats have lost its starting QB in either the opener or the second game. In stepped Jacob Stewart, a precocious, young freshman QB called upon to lead the varsity offense in a year where he didn’t expect to be doing such things. It just goes to show, one has to be omnipresently prepared, ready. This week our jacket patch goes to the young freshman thrust into the lineup against a tough road game with a bigger road game looming. He will be expected to be prepared, to be ready, and to perform. Enjoy this look at young Jacob Stewart who is our Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company All-State Player of the Week and second patch-recipient this young season.

Bruce Willis, a dual-threat, 2027 QB from West Tennessee who moved (luckily) into Murray High’s district this offseason, led his new team to an impressive, 58-50, double-overtime victory over Class 5A, first District contender Owensboro Apollo. Willis looks in firm control of Melvin Cunningham’s offense and able to deliver the type offensive production necessary for the Tigers to make another run at the Class 3A, KHSAA football title this year. Willis doesn’t throw it quite as well as last year’s QB (Wyatt Robbins) but he runs it better and the result in a dynamic, versatile offense that will be hard for 3A, western KY defenses to manage. Enjoy this inaugural, 2026, Bank of Cadiz Player of the Week. We’re playing for patches now, Men! Now, it gets serious! Enjoy the feature…
