Who else makes the cut in this week’s latest set of Kentucky high school football rankings?

The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.

Here is the latest Kentucky high school football Top 25 rankings, according to Massey as of Nov. 4.

1. Trinity Shamrocks

The Trinity Shamrocks (8-2) closed out their regular season play with a 52-3 rout of Oldham County last time they were on the gridiron. Now the Shamrocks await the bracket for the Kentucky’s KHSAA Class 6A playoffs.

The Shamrocks will aim for rare three-peat in 2025, which they opened the season with some dominant performances, including a 63-0 rout of Pleasure Ridge Park and a 37-0 blowout of Frederick Douglass.

They will need players like quarterback Zane Johnson, running back Jamaurion Berry and wide receiver Sekou Kamara to fuel what is one of Kentucky’s most potent offenses. If Trinity can pull off a win this week against St. Xavier (Ohio), there’s a strong chance they could win out the rest of the way.

2. Christian Academy of Louisville Centurions

Christian Academy of Louisville (10-0) have made it look too easy in the last few weeks, out-scoring its last four opponents De Sales, Central, Fern Creek Traditional and Western High School Early College by a combined score of 214-21.

The Centurions started the season off winning three straight blowout victories, including wins over Lexington Christian Academy and Owensboro, respectively. They added also impressive victories in with a 34-27 decision over Ryle and a 55-6 rout of Central Hardin.

Christian Academy of Louisville has been one of the more dominant teams in the state as they feature a loaded roster, led by four-star sophomore defensive lineman Kellan Hall. The Centurions also have talents like senior defensive back Stone Perkins (Ball State commit) and linebacker Chapman Russell on defense.

The Centurions takes on Mercer County Senior this week.

3. St. Xavier Tigers

St. Xavier (7-3) have won four consecutive games after a 42-6 rout of Madison Central last week.

Right out of the gates to kickoff the 2025 season, St. Xavier started with a 38-7 win over Owensboro. The Tigers have since then had a bye week before pulling off dominant victories over Bowling Green and Louisville Male, respectively. Despite the three losses to their record, the Tigers made a bump up in this latest set of Kentucky high school football rankings.

The Tigers open up the KHSAA playoffs against Southern.

4. Boyle County Rebels

The Boyle County Rebels (9-1) just survived a 20-13 win over Frederick Douglass last week as they head into the playoffs.

Boyle County aims to make it seven consecutive victories when they face off against Wayne County team this week and follow it up with the finale versus Frederick Douglass. The Rebels have been able to win four clutch games when decided by 11 or less points this season.

Regaining the Class 4A state title will be Boyle County’s foremost goal this year. The Rebels’ tight end duo of Seneca Driver and Maddox Hager is crucial if Boyle County wants to make a serious run at winning another state championship.

5. South Warren Spartans

South Warren (10-0) knocked off Logan County last week with a 49-14 victory.

When it comes to playmakers on the offensive end making things happen for the Spartans, quarterback Camden Page and running back Kayden York have been the two main contributors thus far. Page has thrown for 1,686 yards and 19 touchdowns and York has totaled 646 and 15 scores on the ground.

The Spartans continues their undefeated run as they take on Christian County this Friday night.
