Aledo football No. 1 in Associated Press 5A state poll, Mansfield Legacy No. 8
With 20 of the 50 state-ranked teams on a bye last week, very little changed in the latest Texas Associated Press state high school football poll.
Allen in Class 6A stayed No. 1, as did 5A Aledo, and the other top-ranked teams in the smaller three classes.
In 4A, Kennedale dropped a spot to No. 7 after a 23-20 overtime loss to No. 2 West-Orange-Stark. Midlothian Heritage moved past Kennedale to No. 6.
This week, 6A No. 7 Austin Lake Travis is at No. 5 Austin Westlake on Friday.
In the Star-Telegram rankings, impressive wins by 6A teams Euless Trinity and Haltom, and 5A White Settlement Brewer, altered the area top 10s.
Haltom (4-2) snapped Keller’s three-game win streak and the Buffs debut at No. 9 on the 6A list, while Euless Trinity (3-2) jumped five spots to No. 3 after the Trojans rallied for a 21-20 win against Southlake Carroll (3-2). The Dragons dropped two spots.
No. 1 on the local 6A list is up for grabs this week when top-ranked Arlington Martin (5-0, 2-0 District 4-6A) meets Mansfield (4-1, 2-0) at Mansfield’s Newsom Stadium at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
