The Alabama Sports
Writers Association released week two of the AHSAA football poll this
morning. There were no major movements among the state’s elite teams.
In
Class 1A, Collinsville (2-0, 1-0) remained at
No. 6 as they dispatched a resilient
Spring
Garden squad 41-25.
The Cedar Bluff Tigers (1-1, 1-0) took sole possession of the eighth
spot as they demolished Woodville 53-8.
Collinsville
will host Gaston (1-1, 1-0) Friday night in a 1A Region 7 match, while the
Bluff travels to tangle with Class 3A
Sardis
(2-0).
The
Fyffe Red Devils (2-0) retained the No. 3 ranking in Class 2A despite being
challenged by Region 6 opponent
North
Sand Mountain
(1-1). Fyffe won the game, 13-10.
In
Class 3A, Piedmont (2-0) was unmoved in the No. 2 spot behind
Leeds.
Piedmont had no trouble with Susan Moore (0-2)
at the big house party when they rolled out their new carpet and supersized
video screen. The Bulldogs danced to an easy 40-14 win. This week the
Bulldogs travel to White Plains.
Cherokee County’s
(1-1, 0-1) loss was Fairview’s
gain in Class 4A. Fairview
was in front, 28-21, as the clock expired with Warriors knocking on Aggies’
door at the 8-yard line. Fairview
moved to No. 9 while the voters released the Warriors from Class 4A
consideration. This week,
Cherokee
County will attempt to
rebound against the Crossville Lions (0-2, 0-1) on Bobby Joe Johnson Field.
Fort
Payne
(1-1, 0-1) entered the Class 5A top ten last week only to be bounced out
after a 21-14 loss to region rival Etowah.
Etowah (2-0) is off to their best start since they won the 5A state
championship in 1999. The Wildcats welcome Arab (1-1, 0-1) Friday night.
Gadsden City (1-1,
0-1) still remains in consideration in Class 6A after a one-point overtime
loss to Oxford.
Gadsden City fans hope that the change to the spread offense takes
hold this week when they’ll finally be able to see their team in the
friendly confines of Titans Stadium. The Mounties of Shades Valley will make
the expedition to Gadsden
in search of their first win of the season.
