BIRMINGHAM – Before the season, two teams were unanimous selections at No. 1 in their respective classes. After the first week of play, two teams — one different — are unanimous picks in the Alabama Sports Writers Association football poll — thanks to the little guys playing over their class.

Both Class 2A Leroy and 1A Sweet Water were perfect in the eyes of the 33 voters in this week’s high school football poll thanks to wins over Class 4A schools. Sweet Water, which had been the sole choice at the top in Class 1A, stayed that way with a 30-14 win over Thomasville, while Leroy — a 36-9 winner over Clarke County — picked up every first-place vote in Class 2A.

Cordova, which had been a unanimous choice in Class 3A, stayed on top but lost some first place votes to Colbert County, which topped Class 5A Muscle Shoals and coached by former Cordova mentor Scott Basden.

The lone change at the top came in Class 4A as North Jackson moved from No. 3 to 1, thanks to a 25-6 win over Scottsboro and losses by No. 1 Deshler to Russellville (26-14) and No. 2 Thomasville.

Despite a 15-10 loss to Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier on Saturday, Prattville held on to the top spot in Class 6A, but Hoover and Tuscaloosa County have tightened the gap considerably. Prattville had 316 points and 13 first-place votes to 308 and 11 for Hoover, with 306 and eight for the Wildcats.

The top five teams in Class 5A remained the same, led by Eufaula with 21 of the 33 votes with Briarwood Christian earning nine, while the same goes for AISA, where Bessemer Academy held onto 29 of the 33 top votes with Fort Dale and Southern Academy picked up two each.
