In this week's latest edition of the Alabama top 25 high school football rankings, Thompson remains atop the polls followed by Saraland and Parker. With the exception of the 10th ranked spot, which is now held by Mary G. Montgomery, the rest of the top 10 remains the same as last week's rankings.

Vigor and Muscle Shoals are two undefeated teams that are worth watching for as they could break into the top 10 in a matter of weeks as they have each had tremendous starts to the season.

Meanwhile, Pell City, Homewood and Theodore make their first appearances in the top 25 rankings this season. Each of those schools round out the top 25 respectively in that order.
