KSR's 2025 Kentucky High School Football Top 25 Rankings: Week 9

Another jam-packed week of Kentucky high school football means it’s time for another statewide rankings update.
As district play continues to dominate the back-end of the regular season schedule, we’re seeing more and more blowout results. But there were a couple of notable outcomes from this past Friday that brought some movement in this week’s poll. Notably, Lexington Christian Academy shot up a few spots following its win over Danville in the KSR Game of the Week. But the biggest mover was Madisonville-North Hopkins, which fell nine spots after being upset at home by Apollo in a 49-40 shootout. It was the Maroons’ first loss of the season.
