Trinity remains atop Kentucky high school football rankings
Trinity Shamrocks stay No. 1 in the Kentucky high school football Top 25 after a 41-0 shutout of St. Xavier (Ohio). Christian Academy of Louisville is second at 7-0, and Frederick Douglass is third. The rankings come from the Massey Ratings, a model that weighs wins, opponent quality, and scoring differential.
Trinity, now 5-1, blanked Ohio’s St. Xavier 41-0 and owns 30 state titles. The Shamrocks went 13-2 last season and topped the final 2025 Massey Ratings. Quarterback Zane Johnson, a Buffalo three-star commit, has three state championships and seeks a fourth; Ballard is next.
Christian Academy of Louisville sits 7-0 after a 42-0 win over De Sales. Its defense features 2028 five-star lineman Kellan Hall and Indiana-bound three-star safety Garyon Hobbs. Frederick Douglass, 5-0 after beating Louisville Male 28-17, returns Power 4 prospects and faces No. 10 Madison Central.
These rankings may shape how fans, media, and college recruiters view Kentucky high school programs. Players at ranked schools could receive more attention, while lower-ranked or unranked teams may struggle for visibility. For recruits and families, movement in such lists may influence conversations around offers, visits, and exposure, though rankings are only one factor and do not determine outcomes. Communities around successful teams could see increased local pride and attendance.
