Aledo still No. 1 in 5A, Austin Westlake earns notable 6A win
Austin Westlake remained undefeated and kept its No. 5 ranking in the latest Associated Press Class 6A state poll after the Chaparrals last week snapped a decade-long losing streak to Lake Travis.
The Cavaliers, meanwhile, fell out of the AP poll, and San Antonio area school Smithson Valley moved in at No. 10.
Allen in 6A stayed No. 1, as did 5A Aledo, and the other top-ranked teams in the smaller three classes.
Mansfield Legacy (5-1) holds its No. 8 spot in the 5A poll, while Mansfield Lake Ridge (5-1) is getting votes in 5A and Mansfield High (5-1) is also attracting interest on the 6A list.
In 4A, Texarkana Pleasant Grove moved into the poll at No. 10. The Hawks beat last week’s No. 8 Gilmer 41-38, which dropped Gilmer from the list.
In the Star-Telegram rankings, Mansfield’s 27-16 defeat of Arlington Martin moves the Tigers to No. 1 on the 6A list, and the Warriors are No. 2.
The rest of the local ranking remains the same after Week 7, but Week 8 has Keller Timber Creek (5-1, 1-1 District 3-6A) versus Haltom (4-3, 2-1) on Thursday, and Richland (6-0, 3-0 District 8-5) at Grapevine (5-1, 3-0) on Friday.
