AHSAA soccer poll: Homewood, St. John Paul II girls take over No. 1 spots

Posted on by admin

With sub-state tournaments for four of the five Alabama High School Athletic Association soccer classifications beginning Tuesday, we have a road map to the state title in place. How the journey will play out is to be determined.

The AHSAA coaches soccer poll for Week 11 stood pat for the top teams on the boys’ side, but we have new No. 1 teams in the Class 6A and Class 4A girls polls.

Homewood moved up to the top spot, knocking last week’s No. 1 Spain Park down to second in the 6A Top 10. The Patriots are 18-2-3 headed into the playoffs while Spain Park is 15-3-1. Mountain Brook (12-2-3) switched spots with Spanish Fort (16-1-2) at No. 3 and 4 in 6A.

In Class 4A, St. John Paul II of Huntsville moved up from second to No. 1 in place of now-No. 2 Montgomery Catholic. SJP2 is 14-1-2 while Montgomery Catholic is 16-4 on the season. There was also a switch in the No. 3 and 4 spots as Mars Hill Bible (15-1-4) replaced previous third-ranked American Christian (15-3).

The Oak Mountain boys continue to roll with machine-like precision despite having to eke out a win in a thriller against second-ranked Hoover last week. Oak Mountain is No. 1 in Class 7A and in the Super Poll, the ranking of the Top 10 teams regardless of classification, at 25-0. The Eagles have won 44 in a row and have a 56-game unbeaten streak. Hoover, No. 2 in both the Super Poll and the 7A poll, is 18-2-1 with both losses coming to Oak Mountain. The Bucs fell 3-2 to the Eagles on Thursday in a match decided on sudden-death penalty kicks (5-4).

MaxPreps also continues to rank Oak Mountain No. 1 in the nation with Hoover at No. 2.
