In a surprising turn of events, Guntersville High School’s football team dropped from the No. 1 spot in the Class 5A rankings after a close 17-15 victory over rival Arab. This marks the first time a team has won a game and fallen from the top spot in 12 years. Montgomery Catholic, the reigning 4A champion, now claims the No. 1 spot after beating Charles Henderson 63-6. Despite receiving one more first-place vote than Catholic, Guntersville narrowly lost out on the top position by one point in the statewide poll.
The rankings follow exciting high school football action across Alabama, with Central-Phenix City, Saraland, Jackson, T.R. Miller, and Pisgah also leading their respective classes. Each team has been dominating their opponents and securing victories, making for an intense and competitive football season.
With matchups like Catholic playing against Saraland, and various other teams holding onto their undefeated records, the stakes are high as the season progresses. Fans and players alike are eagerly anticipating the outcomes of these games, which could have a significant impact on the rankings moving forward. It will be interesting to see how the top teams perform in the coming weeks and if any upsets will shake up the standings once again.
