KSR's Week 3 Kentucky High School Football Rankings

Week 3 of the 2022 Kentucky high school football season is in the books.

Plenty of Top 25 matchups were scattered throughout the state on Friday night. KSR was on sight for a few of them, headlined by the dominating performance from Boyle County in the KSR Game of the Week. We also had the opportunity to watch Kentucky commit Kaden Moorman suit up for Franklin County while Wildcat quarterback target Cutter Boley lit it up once again through the air.

Check out KSR’s entire Top 25 (plus a surprise No. 26) below. Last week’s rankings can be found here. A full schedule for Friday’s Week 4 games can be found through the link here.
