KSR's 2025 Kentucky High School Football Top 25 Rankings: Week 7

District play is underway across the state, which brought plenty of movement in this week’s rankings update.

While Trinity continues to hold down the number one spot in the state, the Shamrocks are no longer the clear-cut top team. Another close loss to a Cincinnati-based school has Trinity just barely hanging on, as Christian Academy-Louisville is making its case for the best team in Kentucky. Eight of the Top 10 teams moved spots in this week’s poll. We also had two previously unranked teams break into the back-end of the Top 25.

Check out the entirety of KSR’s Week 7 Top 25 poll below to see all of this week’s movement. Make sure to scroll all the way down for our updated class-by-class Top 5 rankings. For a full schedule of what’s on tap this Friday, click here.
