KSR's Week 7 Kentucky High School Football Rankings

Another week of Kentucky high school football has passed us by. There wasn’t much movement among the top schools, but we did see Bowling Green jump into the Top 10 with a 28-24 victory over rival South Warren. Looking ahead to this week’s action, a Top 5 showdown between No. 4 DuPont Manual and No. 1 St. Xavier in Louisville headlines another busy stretch of Friday Night Lights action across the Bluegrass.

Check out KSR’s entire Top 25 (well, Top 28) below. Last week’s rankings can be found here. A full schedule for Friday’s Week 8 games can be found through the link here.
