Highlands' first loss of the season didn't cose the team the No.1 spot in the Kentucky Associated Press high school football poll.
The Bluebirds lost 21-14 to Cincinnati Elder Saturday night to fall to 3-1. Still, a statewide media panel gave the Bluebirds 10 first-place votes and 118 points, enough to keep them ahead of Bowling Green (5-0, 92 points) in Class AAA. Dixie Heights was 10th.
Among other Northern Kentucky schools, Beechwood (4-0) remains No.1 in Class A, with Bellevue (5-0) fourth; and Boone County (3-1) is seventh in AAAA.
