Warren Central reclaims the top spot in KSR’s Kentucky High School Basketball Top 25 after Covington Catholic lost at home to Conner 74-68 and Lexington Catholic fell to Mason County 40-39 in the 2A championship game.

Elsewhere, Ballard surged past Western and now claims the title of highest-ranked team in Louisville after the Bruins knocked off Male 80-71 to win the Louisville Invitational Tournament. Male upset Western in the semifinals 69-56.

Travis Perry and Lyon County fell to University Heights 74-64 in the 2nd Region All ”A” tournament, dropping the Lyons four spots. McCracken County fell seven spots after losing to Marshall County 57-53 — the Mustangs were the last undefeated team in Kentucky.

Great Crossing is now the highest-ranked team in the 11th Region. Lexington Catholic has regressed a bit after winning their own holiday tournament, posting closer-than-expected wins over Lexington Christian Academy (67-66) and Calloway County (56-52 in OT) while also falling to Mason County.
