BGR continues to try and be the fore-runner for High School Football Discussion throughout the State of Kentucky. With this in mind, we are unveiling a new feature updated weekly to better serve all areas of the State from Pikeville to Paducah and elicit more discussion in the process.

These are the inaugural Bluegrass Rivals Regional Power Rankings!

We will rank the Top 5 in each region of the stat, based on a "pound for pound" basis. We will take into account Strength of Schedule, margin of victory/defeat, magnitude of games, and come to a conclusion.

Rankings are meant for discussion, and your feedback is what we want to hear whether you agree or not. Make your case for your team!





NKY
1. Highlands- Bluebirds unblemished against a surprisingly weak schedule for their standards. Their best win was super impressive against 6A Scott County, but Boyle County, Mason County, and Western have all been very underwhelming by their standards.

2. Cooper- Surprisingly closer to the top then some may think, they are undefeated with a very nice win vs. Ryle while defeating some of those same weak 6A schools. Their win over 2A Champion Cov. Holy Cross has lost some of it's luster and no team they have defeated equates to Scott County.

3. Covington Catholic- The Colonels make a strong push at #1 as well defeating (3) 6A teams, but all 3 are collectively weak. They have a big win over 1A Beechwood and a quality loss to LaSalle, but they fall just short.

4. Simon Kenton- The masters of playing down have vanquished 3 extremely strong lower classification teams in NewCath, Beechwood, and Danville. They are yet to play a 6A team.

5. Ryle- The Raiders are .500 with two blowouts. Those blowouts came to two really good teams in Cooper and Cincy Colerain. They also have two super impressive wins vs. Henry Clay and Col. St. Desales.
