Unlike last week, Week 7 of the season was beautiful weather-wise. The games weren’t too bad either.
Most of the area’s best took care of business but others weren’t as lucky meaning we’ve got some changes in this week’s area rankings.
The 615 Preps staff has put together a list of the top five large, medium, and small class teams in our coverage area following last week’s action.
Large Class teams include 6A and Division II-AAA. Medium Class teams include 5A, 4A, and Division II-AA. Small Class teams include 3A, 2A, 1A, and Division II-A, and each grouping has roughly 30 teams in it.

3. Beech (5-1): The Buccaneers were off last week. Up next: at Henry County (5-2)
4. FRA (7-0): FRA’s duo of Roman Mahlerwein and Jayden Rush proved to be too much for the Panthers to handle. The duo connected three times for 81 yards and a pair of touchdowns as FRA rolled to the 45-20 win. Up next: at BGA (6-1)
5. BGA (6-1): Pope John Paul II had no answer for Kaedyn Marable Friday night. In a 61-10 win over the Knights, Marable threw for 199 yards and accounted for four total touchdowns. Up next: vs. FRA (7-0)
Dropped out: None. Who just missed out: Macon County (5-2), Pearl-Cohn (5-2)

2. Westmoreland (6-1): Down all night in a defensive slugfest, the Eagles broke through with 37 seconds remaining. Cooper White scored from a year out to propel Westmoreland past East Robertson 7-6. Up next: Bye Week
3. East Robertson (6-1): The Indians scored first but couldn’t get much going on offense following that scoring drive. They had one last opportunity in the closing seconds but came up short. Up next: at Trousdale County (0-5)
