Check out the movement in the statewide media prep football polls

The Kentucky High School Football Media Poll is conducted by 16 sports journalists throughout the state, with one representative for each of the 16 basketball regions in order to provide geographical balance. The poll will be released each Wednesday morning throughout the regular season.

Going from Class 6A on down to 1A, seven Northern Kentucky teams remain in their respective top 10’s. Ryle dropped a spot to No. 4 in the 6A poll, Cooper moved up a spot to No. 4 in 5A, Highlands jumped a spot to No. 2 and Covington Catholic stayed put at No. 6 in 4A, Lloyd Memorial remained at No. 7 in 3A with reigning champ Beechwood still in the No. 1 spot in 2A. Holy Cross is the lone 1A team ranked, dropping a spot to No. 10.

Simon Kenton and Campbell County (6A), Conner (5A), Newport, Newport Central Catholic and Bishop Brossart (1A) are in the others receiving votes category for their respective class.
