Week 3 of the KSR Top 25 is officially out, and the latest rankings reflect another week of movement as teams across the state continue to make early-season statements.
St. Xavier remains the clear choice at No. 1, earning eight first-place votes and holding steady at the top. Male makes a strong push upward into the No. 2 spot, while Frederick Douglass and Covington Catholic continue to anchor the upper tier. Madison Central and Daviess County round out a competitive top six.
Several teams made notable climbs this week, including Seneca’s eight-spot jump, Danville Christian Academy’s rise into the rankings, and multiple newcomers making their Week 3 debut.

With more marquee matchups on the horizon, the coming weeks should bring even more movement as teams battle to establish themselves among the state’s elite.
