KSR’s High School Football Rankings - Week 3

That’s three weeks of Kentucky high school football officially in the books.

It was another busy stretch across the Bluegrass over the weekend, headlined by the Kroger KSR Game of the Week between Taylor County and Elizabethtown. Led by Kentucky three-star OL commit Hayes Johnson, Taylor County cruised to a dominant 42-13 victory in Campbellsville. You can check out Brady Byrdwell’s full recap of the game here.

Elsewhere, Boyle County maintained the top spot after demolishing local rival Danville 56-0 to move to 3-0, St. Xavier stole Male’s spot at No. 2 after taking down the Bulldogs, and Paducah Tilghman vaulted from unranked to No. 15 after ending an 18-year losing streak to rival Mayfield. Four new teams entered the Top 25 this week while the likes of Mayfield (-8) and Bowling Green (-11) saw significant drops in the rankings.
