Jayden Couch, from Fort Campbell, is the Lasaters Coffee & Tea Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (or Tea) Featured Player of the Week @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @FC_FALCONS_FB

January 13, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

I once heard having an accomplished place kicker in the fold likened to finding a $20.00 bill in your dry cleaning. You may not know you even need $20.00 but it comes in handy when you are both hungry and thirsty and you find what you need just sitting in your pocket. Jayden Couch is not just an accomplished placekicker who converted just under 80% of his PATs and was 100% on FGs but he is a freshman to boot. It must be something to realize your kicking game is so competently handled and looks to remain so for the foreseeable future. Congratulations to Jayden Couch for being our ‘Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (or Tea)’ Player of the Week from Lasaters Coffee & Tea where you are more than served, you are loved!

Cooper Adams, ’29 DB/ATH, is our Bank of Cadiz featured player! @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @KatherineL58069 

January 12, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Cooper Adams is a kid with a ton of tough who played eight games of varsity run as a freshman and is only going to improve as he fills out and develops. Adams is an accomplished wrestler who was a Kentucky champion in middle school and already enjoying success as a varsity grappler on the high school level. Adams is the kind of kid coaches want to coach and, in the end, that may be the finest compliment which can be paid to him. Enjoy the feature.

Jamaal Haskins, ’29 ATH, from W.E.B. DuBois Academy is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @LemmingReport,

January 9, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

There are quite a few freshmen who made considerable contributions to the ball club this past season. Jamaal Haskins was certainly among their number. Haskins is a long, explosive, quick-twitch athlete who promises to contribute prodigious contributions going forward for the DuBois Academy program. DuBois is an up and coming outfit and there aren’t too many around the Derby City struggling to envision the Lions getting in the thick of the 2A championship race going forward. Enjoy this look at one of the best freshmen football players the commonwealth of Kentucky has produced over the last few seasons and a player from whom you will definitely hear in the near future.

Kadence ‘KP’ Price will enter his final stanza one of the KHSAA’s elite players at his position @Cpbeast11, @All_American_Me, @price_kadence, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @LasatersCoffee

January 8, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Kadence Price is a coach’s son who is also the premier player at his interior slot along the Maroon offensive front. Price doubles on defense and is a terror in limited snaps on that side of the ball too. Price will have a big offseason. The summer between your junior and senior years is when the interest for your next level services gets serious. It is all fun and games until now. Price will have a next level future and he is good enough to spend his next level at a variety of levels. He is a tad undersized for guard but perfectly sized to gain recruitment as a center and teams are always looking for those. Enjoy this look at this fine, all-state football player.

Luis Lira, from Calloway County, is our Bank of Cadiz featured player @CClakerfootball, @Coach_CobyLewis, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

January 5, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Luis Ira is a ’26 left guard who was an unsung hero for his Laker ball club which experienced, under first year head football coach, Coby Lewis quite the remarkable turnaround. The Lakers went from winless in ’24 to six (6) wins in ’25 and proved a competitive spirit along the way. People around this program are excited about the strides it is making in a city (Murray, KY) getting known as a hotbed of football competitiveness on Kentucky’s western end. Enjoy the feature.

Storm Warning: If this is the ‘Swan Song’ on this serial article; it has been quite the ride…a look ahead! @HopkinsCentral @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @PrepRedzone @KyHighFootball

We have had the privilege of covering the Hopkins County Central Storm for several seasons. We have reveled in the highs and commiserated through the lows. Through it all we have developed a deep appreciation and love for the Storm football program and all that it means to the citizens of Hopkins County, particularly Morton’s Gap. Morton’s Gap is a special place on a Friday Night as fans are treated to a Rockwellian, small-town, football experience. If this article has run its course, if it is over, then let the record reflect it has been our immense pleasure, our distinct honor.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we present you the Big Ass Fans, Large School, All-State Football Team

December 16, 2025 Fletcher Long 4

We will start out this all-state team with an admonition with which we begin every team we have ever published. We will miss on some guys. It is just important to note that your son not making our team doesn’t mean he wasn’t an all-state caliber player. Also, we expressly reserve the right to re-enter the team, even after it is published, and add worthy players who may have been missed or accidentally omitted. That being said, our small and large school All-State football teams, sponsored by Big Ass Fans, are the most expansive and complete teams in the business. This team here, and the coaches’s team published by the “Courier Journal,” are the only two legitimate teams in existence and we believe our team to be much more complete and legitimate than even theirs. Congratulations to the players who made the team and congratulations to the wonderful world of Kentucky high school football for providing us with the endless thrills and discussions we net from our following this, the greatest game on earth.

Blast from the Past (Originally published in June of 2023); Storm Warning: Even an airplane has wheels…Calil McNary keeps Air Raid Offense grounded- @CalilMcNary @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @_CoachManning @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @CoachDeanHood @CoachjjClark

December 4, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

McNary is Kentucky’s consummate FB. He is the best player, Kentucky-wide, at a position under utilized in the modern game. He is a throw-back to a simpler, tougher time and he keeps the “Air Raid” attack grounded. Enjoy the feature. FL.
