Class 5A chaos returns to order
By PAUL BEAUDRY For The ASWA
As far as the positions are concerned, nothing changed in this week’s
Alabama Sports Writers Association Class 5A poll. As far as the
voters are concerned, however, the pack is beginning to spread
out.
In last week’s poll, 102 points separated the top eight teams.
This week, the distance is far greater – 236, actually – and
Hartselle, by virtue of a 55-7 win over Region 6 rival West
Point, established itself as a secure No. 1. Briarwood Christian
is a steady second with 296 points while Walker, which set the
dominoes falling with a 49-28 win over Russellville in week 5,
is third with 279.
The only unanimous No. 1 pick is Hoover, enjoying its
third-straight week at the top of Class 6A. Runner-up and Region
6 rival Vestavia Hills was a nearly unanimous choice for second
as all but one of the 35 voters had the Rebels second for the
second consecutive week.
AISA had the lone change at the top, thanks to then-No. 4 Monroe
Academy knocking off No. 1 Fort Dale Academy. The Volunteers
have moved into the top spot with 368 points, just 13 ahead of
second-place Bessemer Academy in the poll’s tightest race at the
top in any class.
Of the nearly 420 teams in the AHSAA and AISA, four have
clinched playoff spots and two have yet to be scored upon. Three
of the playoff teams are in the AISA with No. 2 Bessemer
Academy, No. 6 Clarke Prep and No. 7 Edgewood Academy. Class 3A
Piedmont is the lone AHSAA to have formally clinched a playoff
berth.
The two teams with perfect scoring defense? Class 2A No. 6
Tanner and Class 1A No. 2 Maplesville, who have outscored their
opponents 187-0 and 298-0 respectively, although Tanner has
played five games to Maplesville’s six.
Among ranked teams this week, Class 6A No. 8 Auburn is at No. 9
Central-Phenix City, Class 5A No. 4 McAdory is at No. 9 Pleasant
Grove, Class 4A No. 2 Thomasville is at No. 8 UMS-Wright, AISA
No. 9 Glenwood is at No. 9 Monroe Academy, No. 2 Bessemer
Academy is at No. 10 Prattville Christian, No. 4 Pike Liberal
Arts hosts No. 5 Fort Dale Academy, and No. 7 Edgewood is at No.
8 Springwood.
