[Bert]

Apologies on the tardiness of this ranking.

 

1) Male High School (7-0, Idle) – Next week versus St. X should be a pretty god match up for Male.

 

2) Trinity High School (7-1, defeated Eastern 63-7) – Easy win by Trinity. Next week versus Seneca could be even worse.

 

3) St. Xavier High School (5-2, defeated Manual 27-6) – Good win over a strong Manual team. Next week against Male could be a great game.

 

4) DuPont Manual High School (6-1, Defeated by St. X 27-6) Disappointing loss for the Rams, this was Manual’s best chance to beat X in years. Next week versus PRP should be a good game.

 

5) Central (5-2, Defeated Thomas Nelson 48-0) No surprise Central won, just how soundly Central won. Next week versus Bardstown may be a little better game.

 

6) Fern Creek (6-1 Defeated Doss 37-8) No surprise. Next week is Iroquois, probably a similar story.

 

7) Pleasure Ridge Park (4-3, Defeated Butler 35-18) PRP gets a win again after brutal 3 game stretch for PRP which featured T, X and Male all in a row. Next week against Manual will be another difficult game.

 

8) Elizabethtown (7-0, Idle) Easy win and next week versus Adair County will probably be last real chance for someone to beat Etown in the regular season.

 

9) St. Francis DeSales (5-2, Defeated by Christian Acadamy 16-0) – DeSales took a pretty big step backwards. DeSales most likely will get a win next week against Washington Co.

 

10) Spencer County (8-0, Defeated Franklin Co 47-42) Spencer keeps wins a close one versus a good Franklin Co. Next week’s game versus Shelby Co should be another good game.

 

 

Big Riser(s) – Christian Academy Louisville. Thought about putting them in the Top Ten.

 

Big Dropper(s) – DeSales. Did CAL expose them or is Cal better than they looked early in the season.

 

Game of the Week – St. X versus Male.

Should had put CAL above the Colts, they earn it. We got to fix a few things before meet them again (like taking care of the ball for one).....Hope recent history repeats it self....

How is CAL not above DeSales? That makes zero sense.

I thought about it but didn't want to put too much into a single rivalry game especially after the last three years. If CAL stays strong the next two games and DeSales looks iffy, future rankings will show that.
