Kentucky High School Football Rankings 2023

The Kentucky High School Football Rankings 2023 are out, and even though the season has just begun, we can already spot some strong contenders.

St. Xavier, last year’s 6A state champion, is looking like the team to beat again. They have a really talented squad, especially their quarterback, Micah Carter, who’s going to play for Notre Dame next year.

Male High School is another team you should keep an eye on in the 6A category. They have a well-rounded offense and a tough defense, and their quarterback, Drew Beam, will be heading to Kentucky next year.

In the 5A division, Christian Academy-Louisville is shining bright. Their offense is full of firepower, with quarterback Kaden Moorman, who’s off to Purdue next year.

Covington Catholic, the 4A defending champs, are in a good position to retain their title. They have a solid defense and a balanced offense.

Moving on to 3A, Boyle County is the team to beat. They’ve got an explosive offense, and their quarterback, Tommy Ziesmer, will be joining the Kentucky team next year.

These are just a handful of the teams making waves in the 2023 Kentucky High School Football Rankings. Remember, it’s still early in the season, so there’s more excitement to come!
