KSR’s KY High School Boys' Basketball Top 25 - Week 9

Last week, bad weather across the state made for a light slate of boys’ high school basketball, which resulted in minimal movement in our rankings update. But this time around, there was plenty of movement after a busy week of hoops, including a shakeup at the very top.

Great Crossing moved back to the top spot after picking up a 58-50 win over No. 3 Lexington Catholic, combined with Lyon County losing 50-48 to Newport in the All “A” Classic semifinals. Newport moved up three spots after defeating Evangel Christian 69-62 in overtime to win the small school state title.

Elsewhere, Louisville Trinity moved up four spots to No. 4 after dominating rival St. Xavier 81-59. Cooper moved up eight spots to No. 18 with an impressive 65-55 road victory over Covington Catholic. The Colonels tumbled seven spots to No. 11.

You can check out the entirety of the Week 9 Top 25 below. Our Week 8 rankings can be found here. KSR’s rankings are voted on by myself & Clark Howell. Fans are welcome to send their feedback on X/Twitter to @teeroyhowell and @rezinc.
