Aledo football No. 1 in Associated Press 5A state poll, Mansfield Legacy No. 8
For a third straight week Aledo (3-0) holds onto the Class 5A No. 1 spot in The Associated Press state poll, while Mansfield Legacy climbs back in the 5A poll at No. 8.
Legacy (3-1) dropped out after the Broncos lost to Aledo on Sept. 15, but three 5A teams lost games Sept. 21-23, so voters put Legacy back in.
Class 6A Allen, as well as 4A Carthage, 3A Gunter and 2A Refugio, also kept their No. 1 rankings.
In the Star-Telegram rankings, the Mansfield ISD teams in District 10-5A went 4-0 last week, so all of them are now on the latest 5A/Others list.
Mansfield Legacy is No. 2, Lake Ridge (3-1) is No. 4, and Timberview (2-2) is No. 9. Mansfield Summit 3-1 debuts at No. 10.
Yes, last week’s No. 10 Fort Worth South Hills 3-0 was idle, but Summit’s 42-31 road win at high-scoring Waxahachie was tough to ignore.
In the 6A rankings, 4-0 teams Keller Timber Creek and Keller Fossil Ridge switch places from last week.
Why? Because Timber Creek’s opponents have a combined 5-8 record, while Fossil Ridge’s opponents are 3-10.
Keller ISD bragging rights will be settled this week when Timber Creek and Fossil Ridge meet at 7:30 p.m., Friday at the Keller ISD Athletic Complex.
