New year, new rankings!
As the calendar shifted over to 2026, the Kentucky high school boys basketball schedule died down following a busy couple of weeks that featured non-stop tournaments and holiday classics. Last week’s slate of games wasn’t nearly as hectic as it was throughout most of December. Which means we didn’t see nearly as much movement in KSR’s Week 5 update to the Top 25 rankings — not at the top, at least.
The top three teams in the state remain unchanged from last week’s poll, but we did see a handful of schools go up/down a spot or two throughout the Top 10.
