Cantrall’s ratings: Six new teams in this week’s boys’ top 25 (Feb. 7)

By Dave Cantrall Special to the Herald-Leader

Bowling Green, Covington Catholic and Lexington Catholic maintained their hold on the top three spots in this week’s top 25 in Dave Cantrall’s Rating the State for boys’ basketball in Kentucky.

Because of COVID precautions, several teams that recently started play joined the top 25 for the first time this season.

New to this week’s top 10 are Ballard in a tie fourth, Male in a tie for sixth and Fern Creek in a tie for ninth.

Note: Teams that are not included this week have not yet played or there is not enough data for a rating.
