We are very pleased to welcome Lasaters Coffee & Tea to our growing family of advertisers.

Football has been very good to their family and they look for ways to give back to this very special community. Lasaters is a place one goes to get caffeinated and motivated and couldn’t we all use a bit more of that invigoration in our daily routines. Get by one (1) of our four (4) Christian County, Kentucky locations and enjoy the roasted flavor of a hot cup of warmth and love. Lasaters, where you aren’t just served; you’re loved.

It is part of our yearly ritual. Every year, between the end of “Dead Period” and the beginning of the season, we run down the six (6) Kentucky classifications and forecast, for you, the best teams from the top down. We have done similarly this year. Now, if you have read us for any period of time, we don’t just publish lists. Anyone can do that. What makes “KPGFootball” the industry standard, in football, is our analysis. We don’t just tell you who; but, we tell you why. Enjoy the article.

Camden Page, ’27 from South Warren, is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans @CamdenPage2027, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @SouthWarrenFB, @IamChaseBell15

Ever heard of the catbird seat? It is called “sitting pretty” and that is exactly where Camden Page appears to have his South Warren Spartans sitting entering tonight’s regional championship game with Henderson County (6-6). Page is having a tremendous season and completing close to 73% of his passing attempts with a four to one, TDs to INTs ratio. We call that efficiency. The most important part of the equation is Page having his team sitting undefeated with the highest RPI in the 6A classification. Can the Spartans win a 6A title their first year in the classification? Well, Page has them in the “catbird seat,” that is for sure. Enjoy this serial article awarding the Big Ass Fans “Kentucky Comfort Creator” to his long, tall, lengthy, and athletic QB from south-central Kentucky.

James Bradley, Jr., and his Hoptown Tigers took the home field for the final time this past Friday night for the first round of the KHSAA, 6A, football playoffs. The Tigers rolled to a 50-20 gut punch to the Daviess County Panthers. Along the way, Bradley rushed for 223-yards on 20-carries, five (5) of which went for scores. What a game this kid had. Bradley scored 36-points on the night (5-TDs, and 3-two point conversions). Bradley even threw in three (3) tackles on defense. Enjoy this feature on this wonderfully gifted and talented young football star from your friends and neighbors at the Bank of Cadiz.

Malik Butler (’26) and his Spartans belong with the ‘Big Boys!’ @CoachDerekMason, @SouthWarrenFB, @Malikbutler23, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee

South Warren has some of the best talent rostered anywhere in the KHSAA at any level of competition. This coming year should be no different. The Spartans are 6A, instead of 5A, this season but the argument can be made the trek through 5A on the western end of the commonwealth is at least as daunting as 6A if not a little mores (Louisville excluded). Either way, this Malik Butler is the real-freaking deal. Enjoy this feature about a kid we featured before when he was still playing football at Franklin-Simpson. This kid can do it.

Chase Bell (’28 QB) from South Warren is this week’s Kentucky Comfort Creator from @bigassfans @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @SouthWarrenFB, @IamChaseBell15

July 11, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

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.

We all know Phillip Haywood and Dudley Hilton are the two winningest football coaches in the KHSAA history. Haywood at 491 will be tough to catch but Hilton is 30 or so behind him and he’s still going strong. What about the guys who shone like bright, shining stars then moved on to “greener pastures.” Could some of those guys have been “the best?” Perhaps. If there is a short-timer who could be considered, we believe he may be in this particular grouping of three. Enjoy this feature.

Bryan Jones is among the hottest young coaches in the industry Kentucky-wide. He has his Cougars playing football at an incredibly high level and looking every bit like 5A threats coming down the season’s home stretch. Enjoy this look at another one of those coaches sure to get plenty of air time this offseason as programs will jockey for coaches.

Colton Veltkamp, ’25 WR/LB, from South Warren is the @1776Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week @ColtonVeltkamp @Coach_Helton @DavisMerritt @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @WarrenCoSchools @SouthWarrenFB

This prospect has a brother named Caden who showed in Western KY’s bowl game, a year ago, he was nothing at which to sneeze. That particular Veltkamp looks to be headed to the portal, or maybe has already shipped out; we don’t know, we cover the high school game. This Veltkamp is a freaking football player and plenty versatile. He will challenge for “Mr. Football” next season and will likely be the district, region, and maybe even classification’s “Player of the Year.” Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to get by your local Independence Bank and discover why and how our people, financial products, and services have started a revolution in the Kentucky banking industry.
