Mayfield received 12 of the 14 first-place votes. Lexington Christian and Louisville DeSales received one first-place vote each. Murray is ranked No. 3 in this week's 2A poll. The Tigers are also 2-0 and are coming off a 48-21 victory over cross-town rival Calloway County.

No local teams are ranked in the Class 1A poll. Crittenden County (2-0) received five votes in this week's poll. In Class 3A, Paducah Tilghman (1-1) is tied for sixth. The Blue Tornado opened the season with a win over McCracken County but lost last week to Central Hardin 48-25. Caldwell County is ranked 10th in this week's 3A poll. The Tigers (1-1) picked up their first win of the season last week, pounding Franklin-Simpson 48-19.

In Class 4A, Hopkinsville (2-0) comes in at No. 9. After knocking off Graves County in week one, the Tigers remained undefeated with a 21-0 win over West Creek, TN Saturday night.
