KSR’s 2024 Kentucky High School Football Top 25 Rankings: Week 9

The majority of the top teams in this week’s rankings update stayed in the same place, but there was plenty of movement in the back half of the Week 9 Top 25.

Notably, South Warren and Central both shot up eight spots in the newest batch of rankings. South Warren beat a ranked Bowling Green squad 28-24 while Central beat down a ranked Christian Academy-Louisville team by 20 points. As a result, Bowling Green and CAL dropped eight and six spots, respectively. We also saw Woodford County and Beechwood both return to the Top 25.
