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.

Check out the entirety of KSR’s Week 9 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
