KSR's 2025-26 Kentucky High School Boys Basketball Top 25 Rankings: Week 6

A new week of high school hoops brings a fresh batch of statewide rankings.

After a busy (and thrilling) week of games across the Bluegrass, we’ve updated our Top 25 rankings for the 2025-26 Kentucky high school boys basketball season. We saw some activity at the very top of the rankings, with St. Xavier retaking its spot at number one and Madison Central checking in right behind at number two. Several schools saw significant movement in this week’s rankings, including Jeffersontown and Ballard moving up nine and eight spots, respectively, while Lexington Catholic plummeted 10 spots. Four schools also broke into the back-end of this week’s Top 25.
