King Williams is an exceptional athlete with plenty of skills to make a sizable contribution on the Murray High football roster. Melvin Cunningham has built an enviable program while at Murray High and his Tigers figure to be in the title chase again in 2026. Lots of big-bodies on that Tiger roster. Lots of athletes on that Tiger roster. Plenty of “Williamses” on that roster. King’s name should be familiar to you. He has toured around the western end of Kentucky before landing at one of the premier destinations for football in the KHSAA. This guy is a load, can play some QB, lists DE among his defensive positions (which should tell the reader something of his demeanor and disposition), and is equally dangerous as a big-bodied skill as he is along a line of scrimmage using his speed and quicks to his physical advantage. Any other high school player looking to physically challenge King Williams, or any Williams, better bring along his “Big Boy Britches.” Enjoy this look at this week’s Bank of Cadiz Featured Player.

Murray High had a tremendous signal caller in 2025 who has moved on to the Murray State Racers and will now play on Saturdays. Still, Melvin Cunningham has built an enviable program while at Murray High and his Tigers figure to be in the title chase again in 2026. Lots of big-bodies on that Tiger roster. Lots of athletes on that Tiger roster. There is even a transfer from Dresden, TN who comes to town well thought of, successful, and much ballyhooed for his prior on-field successes. HIs name should be familiar to you. It is Bruce Willis, the same as the Hollywood “leading man,” Bruce Willis. This guy is a load, plays QB, lists MLB as his defensive position (which should tell the reader something of his demeanor and disposition), and is equally dangerous breaking down defenses with his arm or his legs. He ain’t going to juke you if you catch our drift. If you are going to tackle him, you better bring along your “Big Boy Britches.” Enjoy this look at this week’s Bank of Cadiz Featured Player.

The season is right around the corner and we are doing what we typically do every year. We are going through the classifications, 1A-6A, and breaking down how we see the coming year progressing. We study these type things, have analyzed coaching staffs, personnel changes, and other statistical data to arrive at an opinion which is far from a guess. Enjoy this look today at 3A, a classification one of our area high schools (Murray High) will likely figure prominently before the season is over. Thanks for your support and thank you to our friends, partners, and neighbors, the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company.

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Aiden Baxter is simply among the better freshman defenders and football talents in the Kentucky-wide, KHSAA football game around the western part of Kentucky at his level of play. Baxter came on our radar with his play last season in his freshman year gaining Friday Night PT on a roster good enough to post a 14-1 and make the 2A title game. Since then, Baxter has done nothing but confirm we were all right about him from the beginning. Baxter is only going to improve over his sophomore season, particularly with more opportunities and in multiple phases of the Tiger-attack. Baxter 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.

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Kenyon Cunningham is simply among the best multi-phase football talents in the Kentucky-wide, KHSAA football game today at any level and a tremendous prospect in more than just football (basketball). Cunningham came to the Murray High roster when his dad got the job and has become among the commonwealth’s most talented players. Cunningham has done nothing but confirm we were all right about him from the beginning. Cunningham is only going to improve over his sophomore season, particularly on offense where he should get many more opportunities. Cunningham 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.

Chapman 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.

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Kenyon Cunningham is a kid with a ton athletic ability and potential who was put in a very tough spot for any freshman both in the semi-state and then in the championship game. He will be called on to be “The Man” going forward as senior Wyatt Robbins has exhausted his eligibility and is headed to play football for the Murray State Racers. Cunningham is a ranked basketball prospect in the commonwealth among ’29s and is already enjoying success as a varsity basketball player on a 12-2 ball club. Cunningham 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.

Storm Warning: Storm travels to Murray High coming off, maybe, its best performance of the season: @LasatersCoffee, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @HopkinsCentral, @_CoachManning

The Storm will close with Murray High (7-0), and then Crittenden County (4-3). It would be nice to slip on Murray and catch them looking ahead to 6-2 Caldwell, but hard to count on that. Regardless, you have to take teams one at a time. Murray High team presents an opportunity to play an opponent who may out-talent us a bit but who can have a bad night as easily as the next guy. We need this game and are hoping our seniors can rise up and deliver it. Let’s get ready to car-pool to Murray, KY and cheer our boys onto victory. First read this…it will get you prepared for the road ahead.

The Murray High Tigers have transformed under Head Coach Melvin Cunningham into a real Western Kentucky terror regardless of how large (or small) of an enrollment he may have at his disposal. The 3A juggernaut has just outlasted posted a 56-0 over Webster County and barely broke a sweat running its record to 7-0 heading into the bye-week. Amarion Bomar (’26) averaged over 25-yards a carry Friday night and house 50% of his opportunities. Couple his offense with what he has done this season out of the backfield on passing “check-downs” and defensively and you have quite a weapon. Enjoy this feature on this wonderfully gifted and talented young football star.

The Murray High Tigers have transformed under Head Coach Melvin Cunningham into a real Western Kentucky terror regardless of how large of an enrollment you may have at your disposal. The 3A juggernaut has just outlasted a 59-56 game against McCracken County and one of Kentucky’s more explosive offensive ball clubs. Wyatt Robbins (’26) is putting up “Gameboy” type numbers this season and Friday night was no different. His efforts, and the efforts of his teammates, have the Tigers sitting at 6-0 with four “winnable” games ahead. Enjoy this feature on this wonderfully gifted and talented young football star.
