Rating the State: Scott County, Covington Catholic lead rankings
Scott County still has a slight edge on Covington Catholic in Dave Cantrall’s Rating the State for high school football. Both teams played out-of-state opponents last weekend, so their ratings did not change.
Male, St. Xavier and Simon Kenton round out the top five.
Note that some teams are not yet included in the rankings as they have not yet played at least two opponents from Kentucky.
