High School Basketball

Cantrall’s ratings: Another week, another new No. 1 boys’ team (Feb. 21)

By Dave Cantrall Special to the Herald-Leader

Once again there is a new No. 1 team in Dave Cantrall’s Rating the State for boys’ high school basketball in Kentucky.

Two weeks ago, Bowling Green held the top spot, then last week it was Elizabethtown.

But now it’s Covington Catholic, which was 3-0 this past week, including wins against Beechwood (now 25th), Covington Holy Cross and Oldham County (14th).

Elizabethtown won its only game of the week with a rout of North Hardin.

Undefeated teams in the top 10 include No. 3 Lexington Catholic, No. 5 North Laurel and No. 6 Ballard.

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