One team took the elevator way up and another took it way down in the power rankings this week. Among the games was a one-point thriller between Thompson and Vestavia Hills.
Can't Touch This
UMS-Wright Prep's 65 - 0 win over Monroe County last week had a lot to do with the leadership of freshman Jaiden Rollins. Rollins earned three touchdowns and 104 yards rushing the ball. That performance landed Rollins among the top power-ranked players for the week.
No Stoppin 'Em
It was another game, another high-octane performance for James Clemens last week (their 5th in a row). Everything went its way against Grissom as it secured a 63 - 7 win. At 56 points, that marked James Clemens's largest margin of victory so far this year. The combined 70-point effort made this the highest-scoring game in the power rankings for the week.
Look Out Below
After a challenging last week, McGill-Toolen now finds itself down eight power ranking positions. No one has a better right to be disappointed since that was the biggest drop of the week. It lost to Theodore 15 - 3. McGill-Toolen unfortunately couldn't repeat the imposing 44-point effort it came up with in its previous game.
Next Week's Big Game
The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between Mountain Brook (5th in the power rankings) and Thompson (4th). Both teams are tiptoeing into their contest after sneaking past their previous opponents. Only one team will win this week, so we'll find out which team fails to repeat its success.
