1. Boyle County

Previous Rank: No. 1

The Rebels are 9-0 and one game away from an undefeated regular season after blowing out Wayne County 55-0 on Friday night. Now they’ll close the regular season at home against No. 9 Fredrick Douglass.

2. Trinity

Previous Rank: No. 2

The Shamrocks finish the regular season at 8-2 after dominating Oldham County 42-0 over the weekend, and they’ll have a bye this week before the start of the playoffs.

3. Louisville Male

Previous Rank: No. 3

Louisville Male got a bit of a scare from a good Bullitt East team on Friday, but ultimately prevailed 30-20 to move to 8-1 on the season. That sets up a huge game against No. 5 Dupont Manual this week.

4. St. Xavier

Previous Rank: No. 5 (+1)

After dropping a 29-22 heartbreaker to Dupont Manuel three weeks ago, St. Xavier has reeled off consecutive wins over Meade County and Pleasure Ridge Park to get to 6-3. They’ll end the season with a big game as well, hosting No. 14 Bowling Green.

5. Dupont Manual

Previous Rank: No. 4 (-1)

The Crimson made easy work of Meade County on Friday, rolling to a 42-14 blowout win. Now sitting at 8-1, they have a chance to gain some huge momentum heading into the playoffs if they can pull off the upset of Louisville Male.

6. Cooper

Previous Rank: No. 7 (+1)

The Jaguars completely overwhelmed Boone County last week in a 48-14 demolition of the home squad, then followed it up by blowing out Dixie Heights 63-21. They’re idle this week and will enter the postseason 10-0.

7. Franklin County

Previous Rank: No. 8 (+1)

The Flyers’ dream season continues after blowing out Western Hills 59-0. Franklin County has outscored its last four opponents by a combined score of 200-27 and will look to finish the year unblemished by beating George Rogers Clark this weekend.

8. Paducah Tilghman

Previous Rank: No. 6 (-2)

Paducah Tilghman remains undefeated after blitzing winless Calloway County 63-0 on Friday night. The Blue Tornado have been dominant all year while rolling to a 9-0 record. They’ll look to finish strong with a win at Russellville this week.

9. Frederick Douglass

Previous Rank: No. 9

After losing two of their first three games, the Broncos have now won 5 of 6 heading into a massive showdown with No. 1 Boyle County this weekend. A win won’t be easy, but would provide a massive momentum boost going into playoff time.

10. Ryle

Previous Rank: No. 11 (+1)

Ryle enters this week’s top 10 after an impressive 37-0 victory on Simon Kenton on Friday night. The Raiders boast one of the state’s best defenses, per the On3 Massey Ratings, something that could be big with the playoffs looming.
