Walker Bell is a ’29 guy who can play WR/QB/DB and who has a varied and dramatic athletic skill set. Bell played in six (6) games a year ago and performed admirably in a limited setting. Bell is very likely to round into an all-state performer either split out wide or in the Laker backfield on one or both sides of the scrimmage line. Players like Bell are part of the upgrade and development of talent undertaken by Coach Coby Lewis who is in his second year of an incredibly impressive rebuild. Walker Bell is a 5’9,” 155-pound, multi-phase, multi-sport performer who runs a 4.8-second 40-yard dash and is strong, powerful, explosive, and “twitchy.” Bell also plays soccer so he possess quick and nimble feet. Bell both was and still is a superlatively good athlete who excels at FB in addition to soccer. Enjoy this feature on this wonderfully gifted and talented young football star from your friends and neighbors at the Bank of Cadiz.

Asa Munsey is the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Co. Feature of the Week @KYHighFootball, @MurrayLedger, @CClakerfootball, @teeroyhowell, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom

April 27, 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. Asa Munsey is simply among the best defensive football talents in the Kentucky-wide, KHSAA football game today at any level and a tremendous first baseman in baseball on top of his being talented on the gridiron. Munsey came up from middle school among the commonwealth’s more talented players and has done nothing but confirm we were all right about him from the beginning. Munsey is only going to improve over his senior season, particularly gaining multi-phase deployment where he should get many more opportunities. Munsey 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 (or any other kid). Enjoy the feature.

Trigg County, as of the date of our writing this piece, was still in the middle of a coaching search. Its former head coach, Chris Ezell, had stepped down as the head man to take a slot on the new Christian County Tiger staff as a strength and conditioning coach and DEs specialist. We are sure Ezell is excited to be getting a ton of talent on his new, 6A, “active” roster. The cupboard at the old school, Trigg County, won’t be completely barren. Brody Calhoun is among the better linebackers in western KY football. Trigg, with the help of this week’s feature just might be a dangerous team entering the ’26 season. Enjoy this feature on this wonderfully gifted and talented young football star.

Brayden Tupper, like Brayden Winchester, is an all-state performer along the Lakers’s defensive front. Both players are part of the upgrade and development of talent undertaken by Coach Coby Lewis who is in his second year of an incredibly impressive rebuild. Brayden Tupper is a 5’11,” 230-pound dynamo who is super strong, powerful, explosive, and “twitchy.” Tupper figures to add some offense to what he is already doing on defense. Tupper both was and still is a superlatively good athlete who excels at FB in multiple phases of the attack. Enjoy this feature on this wonderfully gifted and talented young football star from your friends and neighbors at the Bank of Cadiz.

Nehemiah Bailey got more PT than any other freshman on the last Hoptown roster. The two Christian County schools will combine in the Fall of ’26 and form one ball club. That team will have loads of talent. That team should be right formidable as a 6A, first district team. Who will quarterback this team? Last year’s starter at Hoptown is returning and Jasiah McCarley threw for a little over 2,000 yards and 20-TDs a year ago. McCarley will be a junior in ’26 and has an advantage in production and playing time. However, Bailey is 6’3,” 195-pounds and he sure passes the “eye test.” Today we feature Bailey and discuss his prospects unseating the incumbent QB-1. Enjoy this feature brought to you by your friends and neighbors at the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company with branches in Trigg, Christian, and Calloway counties.

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.

Bryson ‘Cowboy’ Ford, a ’29 multi-phase talent, is the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company Superior Performance, Exceptional Quality Player of the Week @KatherineL58069, @Ahmaariii12, @MurrayQBClub, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @Ale8One, @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers, @murrayFB

If there is a matter on which we would readily wager it is whether or not Bryson Ford will be a superstar at the HS level. Ford rendered an all-state, caliber performance over his freshman season playing on a roster in its last year of existence for a high school which is being closed at year’s end and subsumed into a conglomerate high school which figures to have the largest enrollment in KY among public high schools. Ford led the team in tackles as a freshman and was among the leaders in TFLs. That TFLs stat is impressive as getting freshman to play “down hill” is no easy tack. Enjoy this look at a players everyone around western KY seems to be discussing, including us.

Bryce Huseman, a ’28 multi-phase talent, is the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company Superior Performance, Exceptional Quality Player of the Week @KatherineL58069, @Ahmaariii12, @MurrayQBClub, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @Ale8One, @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers, @murrayFB

Bryce Huseman is a guy who only got run his sophomore year in eight games. That notwithstanding, the kid had one heck of a year and studded out statistically in many critical categories. For the Trigg County Wildcats to reach the program’s full potential, the program will have to harness and develop more talent like Huseman. This offseason will be absolutely critical in regard to that goal. Enjoy this feature on this wonderfully gifted and talented young football star from your friends and neighbors at the Bank of Cadiz.
