There was a bit of movement in the Kentucky High School Football top10 this week as Highlands concluded its season and moved up two spots while Christian Academy-Louisville and Pulaski County slightly fell. Madison Central has performed well down the stretch and has jumped up a couple of places. One new squad made the list.

And forgive the AI-sounding paragraph, but by week nine, the slates - for the most part- have become less dramatic and interesting as competition results in mega-blowouts and inconsequentialities...the upcoming Frederick Douglass-Boyle County game notwithstanding.
