We are very pleased to welcome Lasaters Coffee & Tea to our growing family of advertisers. The Kelley family has a very long history in the local football industry and several of the Kelleys have had their numbers retired owing to their familial history of playing excellence. 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.

Logan Seales, P/K, is a real weapon for Landis’s St. Xavier Team @CoachLandis22, @Prokickercom, @loganmseales, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom

February 21, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

St. Xavier doesn’t skimp on any of football’s three phases. You will find that is true of most of your “Big Time,” “Big Boy,” KHSAA football programs. That certainly explains Logan Seales. Seales is a 6’4,” 182-lbs. kicker/punter who converted 100% of his PATs (15 for 15) a year ago, was seven for 11 on FGs, and sent 88% of his kickoffs into or through the end zone for a touchback (52 of 59). That is called having a lithe leg. Logan is a soccer star at St. Xavier in addition to football and also plays volleyball. He is a multi-faceted talent who makes a difference on a football team not always noticed by the casual fan. We are a long way from either casual or just a fan of KHSAA football. Enjoy the feature.

Can Peyton Duckwall seize the reigns and lead his Chargers back to glory? @QBPeytonDuck, @KHSAAFootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @BECoachKendrick

February 19, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Among the harder things to forecast is which freshmen and sophomores across the commonwealth look poised to come on the varsity roster and replace some of the huge talents crossing the graduation stage the prior spring. Let’s face it, some of these guys are just dark hard to replace. Bullitt East is graduating its starting QB, Cole Cornell. Who will step into those shoes for the 6A, District 4, seven (7) game winners? Will it be junior, Garrett Stickdorn, sophomore, Jack Pope, or freshman, Peyton Duckwall? At the end of the day, any guess we could make would be speculative. That won’t stop us from guessing. We are in the speculation business. Enjoy a look at a young player who has plenty of skills and tools to be “the guy” when the first snap comes around in the Fall of 2026.

Kolin Baker ready for his shine @KolinB95, @vashawnFB, @BodeDarland, @JahbarriFrost98, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

February 14, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Kolin Baker is largely believed to be among the top-five (5) DLs in Kentucky’s ’28 graduating class. This belief persists in spite of his contributing a scant eight (8) tackles and a single TFL over his 14-games of play his sophomore season. Then again, the kid did see PT in 14-games for Kentucky’s foremost high school football program during a season in which the program won its 3rd consecutive, 6A title and 30th title overall; so, there is that! We have before said a college player will find the field in high school sometime during his sophomore season. This 285-pound wrestler certainly found the field as a sophomore in 14 of the team’s 15 games. What his stats either were or weren’t seems rather trite and mundane compared to the amount of PT he got on the KHSAA’s most talented roster, wouldn’t you agree? Enjoy the feature.

Is Jalen Dantzler the best safety in @khsaafootball? Yep. @JalenDantzler_9, @CoachDantzler, @CHSJacketFB, @KyHighFootball, @Doug_Preston1, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

February 12, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Jalen Dantzler is either the best athlete in the high school game in Kentucky or certainly among them. This kid, frankly, has shown this offseason a penchant for doing physical things other kids just can’t. This kid is running the 40 in under 4.4-seconds, shuttling in the low 4.2’s, broad jumping close to 11-feet, all while standing a minimus of 6’2,” with a long reach and lengthy frame which may even add an inch or two before it is all said and done. This kid had a dynamite junior season for the Yellow Jackets and figures to add a senior year for the story books. At the end of the day, Jalen Dantzler is a high end, Division I backend guy with all the physical attributes and characteristics coveted by the “Big Boys.” Enjoy the feature.

Carter Smith (’28) is our Bank of Cadiz feature of the Week @KatherineL58069, @WyattRobbins9, @MurrayQBClub, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @Ale8One, @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers, @murrayFB

Carter Smith is indicative of the type youth movement the Lakers are enjoying since bringing on Coby Lewis to head its football program. Smith is a young, two-way lineman with a sturdy frame and very good power numbers in the weight room. This offseason will be critical for this prospect as the team will go as far in ’26 as two-way linemen like Smith can take it. Enjoy this look at this very fine, young player from your friends and neighbors at The Cadiz Bank & Trust Company. We are excited to sponsor and promote these fine, young student athletes from the areas where we thrive and who support and promote our services and financial products. Enjoy this feature.

DJ Wren was a lucky find for the Wildcats (Lynn Camp) from Corbin @campcoach, @Nick_King25, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

January 31, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

DJ Wren was a tremendous running back at the 1A level for the Lynn Camp Wildcats from Corbin, KY. Wren averaged nearly 9-yards per carry and close to 200-yards a night. Wren was the team’s leading passer, rusher, scorer, tackler, and tackler behind the enemy line. Wren is a varsity basketball player too who figures to have a bright future ahead of him regardless of where or in what sport he happens to spend it. This guy is just one of many examples of outstanding football players who go undiscovered, every season, throughout the Bluegrass. Enjoy this look at a kid who made our Small-School All-State Football team this past season.

Mason Trimble did a ton of stuff in 2025. He was ranked a top-5 Kentucky QB by nearly every national publication which publishes such rankings, he made our large school all-state football team, he led his team to 10-wins, threw for over 2,000-yards, around 26-TDs, ran for another 8-scores and did all of this against the hardest schedule played by any KHSAA football team at any level of competition. Now, in ’26, he has pledged himself to Kentucky’s most prestigious, liberal arts, small college football program. However, there is nothing small about being a Centre Man. Enjoy the feature and let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky!

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.
