Rebels Back In Top 10 After Win Over Huskies

VESTAVIA HILLS, AL — Not only did Vestavia's win last week over Hewitt-Trussville put the Rebels back into the Alabama Sports Writers Association top 10, but the win also gave VHHS its best ranking thus far this season.

The Rebels beat Hewitt-Trussville (then ranked no. 10) 19-14 last week, which impressed voters enough to rank them at no. 9 in the most recent poll.

Vestavia was ranked 10th before a loss to Mountain Brook three weeks ago dropped the Rebels out of the rankings.

Vestavia's road to the playoffs this season does not get easier from here. A game against top-ranked Thompson is next, followed by no. 4 Hoover.

Here is the 7A top 10 this week:

1. Thompson (20); 6-0; 274
2. McGill-Toolen (3); 6-0; 221
3. Central-Phenix City (1); 6-1; 194
4. Hoover; 5-1; 175
5. Mountain Brook; 6-0; 141
6. Theodore; 6-0; 122
7. Sparkman; 6-0; 87
8. Prattville; 5-1; 49
9. Vestavia Hills; 5-1; 41
10. Austin; 5-1; 33
