New ASWA prep rankings: Massive 1 vs. 2 game in Class 7A this week
Class 7A No. 1 Central-Phenix City and No. 2 Auburn each had an unplanned week off in Week 6 to prepare for this week’s showdown.
The games between IMG Academy and Central-Phenix City and Moody and Auburn were both canceled due to the possibility of inclement weather after Hurricane Helene.
That leaves both teams undefeated heading into Friday’s Region 2 showdown.
Central-Phenix City and Jackson in Class 4A are the only unanimous No. 1 teams in this week’s Alabama Sports Writers Association high school football rankings.
