ZGeogheganKSR

Football time in the Bluegrass has arrived.

Over the weekend, high school football across the state of Kentucky got rolling with the 2024 regular season. There were plenty of Top 25 matchups in action, including a top-five showdown in the KSR Game of the Week between Frederick Douglass and Bowling Green that saw the Broncos come away with a big 35-13 win at WKU.

With that, we have a fresh update to KSR’s Top 25 statewide rankings. Boyle County is now the unanimous top team in the state while Frederick Douglass has assumed the No. 2 spot. Trinity, Male, and Paducah Tilghman round out of the rest of the top five. Elsewhere, we saw significant jumps from Franklin County, Highlands, Ryle, and Ashland Blazer while the likes of Bowling Green, Beechwood, and Covington Catholic all slid down the rankings.

Check out the entirety of the updated Top 25 below. For a full schedule of what’s on tap this Friday, click here.
