Week 10 of the high school season was the first weekend to really have that fall feeling.
Some programs won region titles. Other titles secured their playoff spots and for others, the dreams of a postseason run came to screeching halt.
With those results, we also had a few 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. This rankings are based off of results, head-to-head matchups and current form for teams.
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.
Large Class
1. Oakland (9-0): For the fourth time in their last five games, the Patriots posted another shutout as they beat Stewarts Creek 49-0. Oakland’s only allowing an average of 3.8 points per game this season.
2. Brentwood Academy (8-0): Larry Sanders continues to make a strong bid to be a Mr. Football finalist. In the Eagles’ 49-7 win over Father Ryan, he ran for 175 yards and two touchdowns to go along with a receiving touchdown.
3. Ravenwood (9-0): Femi Babalola threw for 136 yards and a touchdown while the Raptors defense was lockdown again in a 42-7 win over Coffee County.
4. Blackman (8-1): For the first time this month the Blaze defense was tested. They did enough offensively to secure the 37-31 win on the road at Siegel.
5. Green Hill (7-2): Scoring 42 unanswered points, the Hawks beat Wilson Central 42-13 to clinch the Region 4-6A title for a second consecutive season.
