The Tiger Defense from the Christian County High program has been particularly stingy of late and is our Lasaters Coffee & Tea Player(s) of the Week for game four #Kentuckys #fletcherwlong #LeadershipLegacy #CoachingExcellence #MentorshipMatters #characterbuilding #SportsLeadership #BuildingChampions #kentuckyfootball #highschoolfootball #DisciplineAndDedication #athletics #successmindset #bookstagram #booklovers @KatherineL58069, @coachclsmit, @ChiefSmoke10, @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @CoachJEzell, @eCampusdotcom, @HenryMi74881410, @HopHighTigers, @FC_FALCONS_FB

Through four games, the Tigers stand at 2-2, coming off consecutive road wins, and playing much better football by any estimation. The defense was particularly stout this past Friday night in the district opener for both schools, Christian County at Daviess County in Owensboro. The Tigers embark on an important stretch, coming home to play one of 6A’s better teams in South Warren before traveling to Lexington, the 25th of September, to play Frederick Douglass on “The Farm.” Obviously, if the young Tigers could split those two games it would be a huge boost to the team’s psyche and prospects heading into the end of the regular season and the playoffs. The defensive unit of the Tigers really played exceptionally this week to earn our Lasater’s Player of the Week Honors. Enjoy the feature.

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.

The Lions are off to a fantastic start at 3-1 with its lone loss being to a ranked 1A team (Holy Cross) by a single point in the season opener on its brand new, 62-million dollar stadium. Since then, the Lions have roared including beating the pants off the defending 1A champions, Kentucky County Day, 34-7 in its second week. Well, Thursday night, the Lions won its first home game, beating Marion County 41-6 behind the strong play of its ’27 QB, Brian Dickerson, Jr. Can this team, which was practicing on asphalt parking lots and un-manicured fields really contend for a championship in its district and at the regional level under Coach George Durant, Jr.? They have the players, the athletes, the frames, and the facilities. Enjoy the article.

Not every 5’11,” 180 pound high school WR is the same. Some of them have a vertical of 37-inches, bench press 245, squat (lbs): 425, power cleans (lbs) 235, and are in the graduating class of 2028. Some of them are surnamed “Landis” and get to play high school football at one of Kentucky’s most prestigious programs for a coach bearing the same surname. Parker Landis is having a big year and is coming off a big win over cross town Male High (Lou.). He is our Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week. Congratulations, and enjoy the article!

This usually is a pretty fun article. A few days ago we posted the “KPGFootball Scorecard.” On that document we memorialized the matchup and just who we believed would win and why. What we do in the scorecard is give you the solution. What we don’t do is demonstrate how we worked the problem. Thursdays, during the football season, we often publish an article which “shows our math.” If you read this article you will see why we picked the teams we picked to win and why we picked the teams we picked to lose. You may not agree and that is okay. We are wrong between 10-15% of the time. It makes for fine reading and generous discussion. Enjoy the article.

For an inaugural journey through Kentuck’s largest classification, the first win didn’t take too terribly long and came on the road playing a ranked Tennessee opponent. Oh well, we do study this topic sufficiently to know a few things about a few things. The win was glorious and somewhat unexpected as the Tigers were at least two TD underdogs by most services which handicap high school football games. Burgess played well with a Pick 6, a pass broken up, 81-kick-off return yards, and six overall tackles. Burgess was a three phase contributor and had a stamp all over his team’s efforts. Burgess also claims our third, in-season (2026), Lasater’s Player of the Week Award. Enjoy the feature.

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.

If you don’t know they play a little football in Bardstown, KY you have never read my book, “Kentucky’s All-Time HS FB Coaches and a Few More I Liked” nor have you heard of Garnis Martin. The Point is…they have been fielding quality football teams around Bardstown since they had a school named My Old Kentucky Home High. Bardstown is staring to look very formidable again this season as they have gotten off to a 3-0 start. The Tigers are being led by a combo RB,QB named Elijah Young and the 5’10, 190-pound sophomore is posting some all-time marks particularly passing the ball. Enjoy this look at a program flying under some radars but not for long!

Through the first two ’28 QB is strutting his stuff! Miles Hollon being a darn good QB is news to no-one. Hollon is ranked among the elite players at his position in his graduating class and that lofty opinion has existed in regard to Hollon since his leaving middle school […]
