For the first time in weeks, a team from the Greater Valley Area has shown movement in the Alabama Sports Writers Association (ASWA) high school football rankings.
After another dominating win over Meadowview Christian last week, Chambers Academy has moved up from AISA No. 4 to No. 3. Chambers Academy has now won 33 regular season games in a row. If the Rebels allow eight or fewer points this Friday against Marengo Academy, then this season’s defense would have allowed the fewest points in a season in the school’s history.
One position that hasn’t changed is Lanett remaining the 1A No. 1 team. The Panthers are coming off a 42-0 shutout homecoming victory against Loachapoka. Lanett has two games remaining in the regular season against 0-6 Verbena and 4-3 Billingsley. Senior safety Trikweze Bridges is still in the hunt to become the all-time state leader for career interceptions. He needs four more in the last two games of the regular season to pass former Tarrant High School
defensive back Quinton Craig’s record, which he set in 1987.
LaFayette still received some votes in 2A after winning their third consecutive game against Alabama Christian. The Bulldogs now have two games remaining in the regular season against 0-7 Central Coosa and 1-6 Horsebend Bend.
