Alabama High School Football Top 25 State Rankings - Sept. 8, 2025

With another week of high school football in the state of Alabama completed, it is time as we take a look at the updated top 25 rankings for the Yellowhammer State.
Thompson, Saraland and Parker remain ranked inside the top five, and Central and Hewitt-Trussville make their way into the top five for the first time this season. After a stellar 3-0 start, Clay-Chalkville jumps from 17 all the way to number nine as well.
Hoover might be one of the biggest surprises of the season after a disappointing 1-2 start, and they are hanging on by a thread in the top 25.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Russell and Hartselle jump into the top 25 after they each won last week.
