With another week in the high school football season in Alabama completed, we are one week away from the state championship games.

One classification has their state championship matchup determined, and that's 7A as Opelika will take on the reigning 7A state champions in Thompson.

Meanwhile, Class 6A could feature a matchup between the top two teams in the state if Clay-Chalkville and Saraland are able to defeat Muscle Shoals and Benjamin Russell which will be their hardest test of the season to date.

Lastly, the lowest ranked team that is still alive for a state championship is Anniston as they come in ranked 16th this week. With a win over Plainview, they will take on the winner of #5 Jackson versus #11 St. Michael Catholic in the 4A state title game.
