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. Owensboro Catholic in Owensboro, KY is as stout as it gets in the 2A classification. This past weekend the Trigg County Wildcats got murdered 54-6 by the Aces but Deon Edison had really big performance. Coach Curtis Higgins’s ‘Cats finished the season at 4-7 and considerably better than most would have expected coming into the season. Edison, a multi-week winner of this award had another strong night and turned in the team’s lone TD which staked the Wildcats to an early lead. Many players this year got valuable live game reps which will pay off in succeeding seasons. It just goes to show, one has to be omnipresently prepared, ready. This week our jacket patch goes to graduating senior, Deon Edison played his butt off in pivotal moments, giving his team a chance. Edison was expected to be prepared, to be ready, and to perform and he did as expected. Enjoy this look at Deon Edison who is our Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company All-State Player of the Week and another patch-recipient.

Paducah Tilghman kicks off its playoff journey tonight with a home game against 3-7 Marion County in Paducah, KY. Historically in the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) football playoffs, 1-seeds hold an overwhelming win rate of over 95% against 4-seeds in the opening round. Upsets do occasionally happen, but the cross-district pairing system is designed to reward dominant regular seasons with heavily favored home matchups to kick off the bracket. Paducah is 10-0, looking for win number 11, so there is that. Jaden Powell is a 6’0,” 165-pound WR who is a junior and able to stretch the field. He runs the 40 in 4.5-seconds and averages over 17-yards a reception. Enjoy this look at our weekly, Kentucky Comfort Creator from your friends at Big Ass Fans as he kicks off his own playoff journey tonight.

John Myers has done a fine job building a winning program and culture at Barren County High. Of course, if you are a fan of KHSAA football, and avidly follow the sport, you know that is what you get when you hire a John Myers. Should we expect any less from a 140-career game winner and 70% winning percentage, Hall of Fame caliber coach? I didn’t think so. Players like today’s feature, Jackson Stephano, are the reason Myers finds so much of his success and he would be the first to tell you that. Stephano has length, explosion, sneaky speed, and the requisite size to continue to play in the slot or out wide or bulk up and play some TE in college. He will get the chance. There are a number of in-state college programs targeting him as we speak. Enjoy this look at our Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week from your friends at Big Ass Fans.

Mike Shannon, the color analyst on Jack Biuck’s broadcasts on St. Louis Cardinals network used to say, “Well Abner (Doubleday), you’ve done it again.” It looks as though Abner Doubleday may have been dabbling in KHSAA football schedules as the Tigers put an unlikely win over district heavyweight, McCracken County, to the test and came up a bit short against a very good, 8-1, Somerset High team. The Tigers brace and prepare for a season ender against Tilghman’s “Blue Tornado” just before the commencement of “season number two,” the KHSAA playoffs. Enjoy this article as we will attempt to make some sense of it all. Well, not really, we’re just enjoying the melee. You enjoy it too. One only gets one life to live.

What a moment for Jayleigh Campbell. She is a ’27 PK who came over from the soccer team to lend a hand (or a foot) to the boys varsity football team. Well, Friday night, during the team’s inaugural Homecoming at the consolidated school, Campbell did something extra special. The senior placekicker became the ultimate hero of the night by kicking the game-winning, 24-yard field goal in overtime. This win was the upset of the night in KHSAA 6A football, it was highly improbable, and it gave the Tigers a chance to get the home gate in round one of the upcoming playoffs. Way to go Campbell.

What a tremendous win over DuBois this past week and the margin was quite unexpected as the Lions were certainly a hot team across KY.

Sometimes we like to do things a bit differently. The Tigers are coming off an off week and come home to play a critical, first district matchup against the Henderson County Colonels. The district title is still out there for the taking to the “winner” of this Friday Night’s game. We will scout the matchup and attempt to predict a score and a winner. Big game, and the Tiger coaching staff couldn’t be anymore aware.
