They’re currently ranked behind Ariton, reigning 2A champions Clarke County, G.W. Long, Highland Home and Fyffe.

The Panthers play Highland Home next weekend.

Although it’s early in the season, the Panthers will open region play this week with Horseshoe Bend, who is just outside the top ten.

In 5A, the Valley Rams received one vote in the top ten.

The Rams hadn’t received any votes in the past two weeks, but their big win over Lanett seems to have garnered some attention.

As for Chambers Academy, it didn’t receive any votes to be in the top 10 of the AISA rankings.

After their week zero loss to Lee-Scott, the Rebels dropped all the way from fourth to not being ranked.

After their loss to First Presbyterian Day, they are no longer receiving votes.
