https://khsaa.org/06-03-24-final-approve...-and-2026/

Is Pulaski County the top team in 2025? This is becoming a very competitive district. How does everyone stack up in your opinions?

Class 6A State Champion Trinity.

1. Trinity (13-2)
2. Ryle (12-3)
3. Frederick Douglass (9-5)
4. Great Crossing (10-4)
5. Dupont Manual (10-2)
6. Male (9-3)
7. St. X (7-5)
8. Ballard (6-7)
9. Madison Central (7-5)
10. Barren County (10-3)
North Hardin, George Rogers Clark, Bryan Station, Barren County, Fern Creek, Central Hardin, Bullitt East


Way too early 2025 rankings. 2024 was a roller coaster ride in Class 6A with DuPont Manual coming out during the regular season and looking like the best team in 6A. St. X, Male is always a threat and how about Trinity, will anyone knock them off in 2025. How does Frederick Douglass look for this coming year. Can they get a 6A title in 2025? Who had heavy graduation and who is bringing back the team? 

Class 2A State Champion Beechwood

1. Beechwood (14-1)
2. Owensboro Catholic (14-1)
3. Lexington Christian Academy (11-3)
4. Mayfield (9-3)
5. Somerset (9-5)
6. Prestonsburg (11-2)
7. Bracken County (9-3)
8. Martin County (9-4)
9. Murray (8-4)   Murray will be moving to Class 3A for 2025
10. Monroe County (7-6)
Washington County, Breathitt County, Betsy Layne

Belfry moves to 2A for 2025


Looking ahead into 2025, who drops and who climbs and who takes home the Trophy. Who is loaded and who had a heavy graduation?  

Class 5A State Champion Bowling Green

1. Bowling Green (13-2)
2. Cooper (14-1)
3. South Warren (12-2) Will move up to Class 6A for 2025 Season.

5. Woodford County (10-2)
6. Owensboro (8-4)
7. Graves County (9-3)
8. Pulaski County (8-5)
9. Scott County (6-6)
10. South Oldham (7-4)
Atherton, Southwestern, North Bullitt, Grayson County


Looking into 2025, what is your rankings or teams who move up or down? Who has heavy graduations and who is loaded? 

2024 Class 1A State Champions Sayre


1. Sayre (15-0)
2. Raceland (10-5)

7. Newport Central Catholic (9-4)
8. Newport (9-3)
9. Holy Cross (Louisville) (6-6)
10. Paris (7-5)
Bishop Brossart, Russellville, Williamsburg, Paintsville


Looking at 2025, here is the final rankings last season. Does Sayre win a back-to-backo back title in 2025? who has heavy graduations and who is looking to move up for this coming year?   

Class 3A State Champion Christian Academy-Louisville

1. Christian Academy of Louisville (12-3)

7. Hart County (12-1)
8. Rockcastle County (10-2)
9. Adair County (10-2)
10. Russell (9-4)
Lloyd Memorial, Garrard County


Here is last years list to look at, who has some insight and thoughts about next season early on. Just looking year end ranking I would have to say no doubt CAL is up there in the top couple teams if not #1. Does Lexington Catholic find its footing early this year and how much did all the other top teams lose like Central, Bell County? Does Union County lose alot and Hart County? 

District 7- Bell County, Clay County, Knox Central, McCreary Central, Rockcastle County
https://khsaa.org/06-03-24-final-approve...-and-2026/


Looking ahead to this season, what are some of the predictions for this district. A favorite of mine because its an old school district of rivals back in the day. 

Knox Central will be the team to keep an eye on in this district. Also, Clay County has a nice-looking group coming back. Rockcastle did a heck of a job after a heavy graduation 2 seasons ago and should be right in the thick of this one. Bell County needs no introduction as they are always the favorite. McCreary Central will look to make some noise.  

#1 
1. Bell County
2. Rockcastle County 
3. Clay County 
4. Knox Central 
5. McCreary Central 

#2
1. Rockcastle County
2. Knox Central 
3. Clay County
4. Bell County 
5. McCreary Central 

#3
1. Knox Central
2. Rockcastle County
3. Bell County
4. Clay County 
5. McCreary Central 

#4
1. Clay County
2. Rockcastle County 
3. Bell County 
4. Knox Central
5. McCreary County

What is your predictions?

Now that we are in the new year let's get going. 4A will without a doubt be the most competitive class in the state again next year. Cov Cath returns a lot of production. Highlands reclasses after a semi-final appearance in 5A to give them a run in that district. Boyle County is on a revenge tour after their untimely exit from the playoffs in 2024. Franklin County returns every player that scored in the state finals but has some holes to fill on the defense that carried them through the playoffs. Corbin has a strong group coming back, but have to replace Mr. Everything QB Elam. Johnson Central and Ashland should still be strong in the far east of 4A. And let's not forget the defending 4A champ in Paducah Tilghman that return starting RB Wilson and young phenom Thompson. North Oldham looks to make some noise under third year HC Brock Roberts as he returns QB and big time target in Tompkins. The East is a gauntlet, there is no question about that with 6 teams that can theoretically make the big game at Kroger. Has the West closed that gap with the unlikely all west state final last year? Or was that a fluke and the East are still kings?

Also, who are some of the other front runners and who is most likely to make the trip to Lexington?

I made a miniature blocking sled for my 9 month old grandson.  Class of '42.

Coach Sean Thompson of Paducah Tilghman has been named the 2024 Coach of the Year.
In his 4 years at the school he has directed his team to four deep playoff runs,
2 finals appearances, and the 2024 State Championship.

He has brought stability to a program, and was the right guy at the right time to lead these young men.

Congrats to him and the staff he has assembled around him!
