Aledo football keeps its lofty Associated Press Class 5A state ranking
The Aledo Bearcats kept their No. 1 position in The Associated Press Class 5A state poll, knocking off last week’s No. 10 team Mansfield Legacy in the process.
Aledo (3-0), which has won 22 consecutive regular season games, beat Legacy 24-3 in a final non-district contest for both teams.
However, Legacy (2-1) and Class 6A Mansfield (2-1) are still getting votes in the AP poll.
Allen (3-0) kept its top spot in the 6A poll, as did Carthage in 4A, Gunter in 3A and Refugio in 2A.
The regular season started last week for six ranked teams affected by Hurricane Harvey. Many teams have a bye this week, but teams affected by Harvey have added games.
Class 6A No. 10 Spring Westfield (1-0) has added Houston Clear Springs on Friday, while 5A, No. 2 Manvel meets Houston North Shore on Thursday in a game originally scheduled for Sept. 7.
