No new teams entered this week's MaxPreps Alabama Top 25 high school football computer rankings, but Mountain Brook and Daphne made the biggest jumps, moving up a combined 17 spots.

Mountain Brook went from No. 19 to No. 9 following a 31-22 win over previous No. 14 Austin as quarterback Strother Gibbs accounted for four touchdowns.

Daphne jumped from No. 20 to No. 13 after a 21-7 victory over Spanish Fort, which came in riding a seven-game win streak. A strong second half, particularly by running back Trent Battle, carried the Trojans, who open 7A playoff action at home against 18th-ranked Prattville.
