<p>With another week of high school football action in the books, it's time to visit the Bluegrass State to highlight some of the most explosive standouts that have established themselves on the field in the playoffs. Without any further ado, here's my list of some of the top performers in Kentucky from Week 12 that are definitely worth keeping an eye on as the playoffs continue.</p>

Quisenberry and the Rebels are coming off a 41-6 blowout win over Whitley County last week. Quisenberry helped boost offensive production on the ground in Boyle County's last matchup, proving his breakaway speed and durability from along the edge. Quisenberry also stands out with is his footwork and versatility, showcasing his ability to quickly change directions and juke out the defense on his way into the endzone.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MN4kQu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003ernrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654945e1caed8"} /-->

Bailey and the Purples earned a 48-6 rout of Apollo this past week. What makes Bailey such an explosive weapon at the helm of Bowling Green's offense is his electric speed, quick release and his ability to adapt to heavy pressure. Bailey's precision in the air is also impressive, showing off his ability to get the ball out of his hands before contact as well as his consistency in hitting his receivers in stride on deep passes. Bailey's accuracy in the air is another aspect of his game that has helped the Purples to consistently punch into the endzone.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MRjzSu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003ernrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654945e1caf5e"} /-->

Harbin and the Tigers picked up a commanding 58-0 win over Oldham County last week. What makes Harbin so efficient down the stretch is his breakaway speed, explosiveness in coverage and his ability to attack the ball in the backfield to put the offense in a solid scoring position. Harbin's ability to utilize space from along the edge as well as break tackles on his way to the house makes him a dangerous offensive weapon on St. Xavier's roster to sleep on as the playoffs continue.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu003ca href=u0022u0022u003eTau003c/au003eu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MRtQRu0022u003epe:u003c/au003ernrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654945e1cafcf"} /-->

Hensley and the Eagles collected a 63-6 blowout victory over Clinton County this past week. Hensley is nearly unstoppable on the ground for Lexington Christian due to his explosive speed off the snap and ability to dodge and weave the defense on his way into the backfield. Hensley also makes an impact in the pocket, using his strength to collapse the defensive line and break free into the backfield. Hensley's ability to punch into the endzone is another aspect of his game that has made a considerable difference this year.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/video/3/19580036/64f1eebaf31c700880309a85u0022u003eTape:u003c/au003ernrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654945e1cb03f"} /-->

Chappell and the Jaguars are coming off a 54-0 blowout win over Montgomery County last week. Chappell stood out on both sides for North Laurel in his last contest, contributing offensively as a receiver. On the offensive end, Chappell stood out with his breakaway speed, hauling in an impressive touchdown pass. On the other side of the ball, Chappell made a difference with his positioning and defensive awareness, proving he can make quick tackles, stop the rush and lock down the backfield.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MRLUqu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003ernrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654945e1cb0a8"} /-->

Carter and the Blue Tornado picked up a 70-0 rout of Breckinridge County this past week. Carter's quick execution and versatility make him nearly unstoppable down the stretch, proving he can quickly cut into the center of the field for the pass and remain untouched by the defense as he takes it to the house. On the other side of the ball, Carter catches my attention with his ability to quickly disrupt the offense, using his physicality and defensive strength to quickly dive for tackles and apply pressure on the quarterback.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MRFJXu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003ernrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654945e1cb118"} /-->
