The onset of district play brought about few changes in the latest Kentucky football high school media poll.
The top of each class is proving to be extremely top-heavy as five of the six teams ranked No. 1 in their class received 15 or 16 first-place votes. Highlands has arguably the toughest test this week, hosting Cincinnati Elder, which will look to rebound from tough losses to St. Xavier and Moeller.
