Last season we thought we were going to have to start calling them the “Heartbreak Wildcats” if things didn’t start trending differently. Trigg County dropped consecutive, one-point defeats to the toughest of competition under very strange and almost lightening-striking-ish type situations. Still, the play the team was getting from its then-sophomore/rising junior QB was extraordinary. Cade Scott was and still is a superlatively good, three sport, varsity athlete who excels at FB (QB), basketball (SG), and baseball (OF/LHP). He completed nearly 75% of his passing attempts and consistently put the offense in situations where it should and, often did, thrive. Enjoy this feature on this wonderfully gifted and talented young football star.

Drew Anderson from Somerset High the best corner in @khsaafootball’s ’29 graduating class. Period! @DrewAnderson118, @BJNFBALL, @ClayClevenger, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

February 28, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Drew Anderson is among the best ’29’s in the commonwealth of Kentucky. Matter of fact, Prep RedZone has the 5’9,” 170-pounder as the top corner in his class and the 10th highest regarded prospect overall. These guys are a nationally read and recognized as evaluators of football playing talent. This is an opinion which matters, unlike the scads and scores of other opinions you see proffered from individuals not in the business but pretending to be. Our opinion also matters. We believe Drew Anderson is easily among the better corners in his class and has every right to be considered top in his graduating class at that post. To know whether a prospect is or isn’t among the commonwealth’s best, one must first know what else is out there. Today, we will demonstrate for you the qualities, skills, and production which makes Anderson among the leading corners in his graduating class throughout the commonwealth of Kentucky. Enjoy the feature, start taking notes now.

Is Elkhorn’s Preston Schaffer the best RB in the @khsaafootball’s ’30 class? @PrestonSch48255, @Aspirationsgym, @JaylenGarnett24,@bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @ChiefSmoke10, @FCFlyerFootball, @FLYERATHLETICS

Every year there is plenty of talk about some rising 9th grade being the best player at his position entering the high school game. Most of that talk is speculative and said by people who really don’t have a clue about football played outside their respective counties. We are an entirely different matter as we have reported on and followed the KYMSFA for over a decade. When we say an 8th grader, rising 9th grader, is special and will be hard to sit when the season arrives, you should listen to us. We know about what we are talking. Preston Schaffer is such a kid and such a RB. Eddie James is slobbering to get this kid in a uniform and on a playing field. Enjoy the feature.

We are very pleased to welcome Lasaters Coffee & Tea to our growing family of advertisers. The Kelley family has a very long history in the local football industry and several of the Kelleys have had their numbers retired owing to their familial history of playing excellence. Football has been very good to their family and they look for ways to give back to this very special community. Lasaters is a place one goes to get caffeinated and motivated and couldn’t we all use a bit more of that invigoration in our daily routines. Get by one (1) of our four (4) Christian County, Kentucky locations and enjoy the roasted flavor of a hot cup of warmth and love.

Can Peyton Duckwall seize the reigns and lead his Chargers back to glory? @QBPeytonDuck, @KHSAAFootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @BECoachKendrick

February 19, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Among the harder things to forecast is which freshmen and sophomores across the commonwealth look poised to come on the varsity roster and replace some of the huge talents crossing the graduation stage the prior spring. Let’s face it, some of these guys are just dark hard to replace. Bullitt East is graduating its starting QB, Cole Cornell. Who will step into those shoes for the 6A, District 4, seven (7) game winners? Will it be junior, Garrett Stickdorn, sophomore, Jack Pope, or freshman, Peyton Duckwall? At the end of the day, any guess we could make would be speculative. That won’t stop us from guessing. We are in the speculation business. Enjoy a look at a young player who has plenty of skills and tools to be “the guy” when the first snap comes around in the Fall of 2026.

Gage Chapman (’27) is our Bank of Cadiz feature of the Week @KatherineL58069, @Chapman42071, @MurrayQBClub, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @Ale8One, @CountyColonels, @HopHighTigers, @murrayFB

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Gage Chapman is simply among the best multi-phase football talents in the Kentucky-wide, KHSAA football game today at any level. Gage came up from middle school among the commonwealth’s most talented players and has done nothing but confirm we were all right about him from the beginning. Chapman is only going to improve over his senior season, particularly on offense where he should get many more opportunities. 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.

Is Jalen Dantzler the best safety in @khsaafootball? Yep. @JalenDantzler_9, @CoachDantzler, @CHSJacketFB, @KyHighFootball, @Doug_Preston1, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

February 12, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Jalen Dantzler is either the best athlete in the high school game in Kentucky or certainly among them. This kid, frankly, has shown this offseason a penchant for doing physical things other kids just can’t. This kid is running the 40 in under 4.4-seconds, shuttling in the low 4.2’s, broad jumping close to 11-feet, all while standing a minimus of 6’2,” with a long reach and lengthy frame which may even add an inch or two before it is all said and done. This kid had a dynamite junior season for the Yellow Jackets and figures to add a senior year for the story books. At the end of the day, Jalen Dantzler is a high end, Division I backend guy with all the physical attributes and characteristics coveted by the “Big Boys.” Enjoy the feature.

Jaxson Dernocoeur got a taste of what varsity football entails and finds himself hungry for more! @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @FC_FALCONS_FB 

February 10, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Jason Dernocoeur is a guy who has loads of promise and appears prepared to do lots of work to develop into the type player he wants to be. He is built like an interior offensive lineman, wears the number of a guard or center, but will probably have to pull “double duty” through much of his high school career. This young guys has shown he has what it takes to get it done. Congratulations to Jaxson Dernocoeur 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!

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.
