  "account": "Highlands has emerged as the new No. 1 team in the Class 4A Kentucky High School Football Media Poll this week. Highlands earned 10 of the 16 first-place votes after their 41-21 win over previous No. 1 Boyle County on Friday, September 11. Boyle County was without their star player, senior tight end/linebacker Seneca Driver, who was suspended after being ejected from a game the previous week. Trinity, Scott County, Christian Academy, Beechwood, and Pikeville retained their respective No. 1 spots in their classes. Christian Academy, boasting a state-best 26-game winning streak, was the sole unanimous pick. The poll, conducted by 16 sports journalists from across the state, will be published online on Wednesday mornings throughout the regular season.",
