In stagnant polls, Summit maintains No. 5 Class 5A spot

SM-Tn Sports

There continues to be minimal movement throughout the Associated Press statewide high school football polls, particularly as it relates to area teams.

Following its 33-9 Region 5-5A win Friday at Franklin County, Summit is listed at No. 5 for the fifth consecutive week as the Class 5A rankings are largely unchanged. The Spartans (7-1) are slated to host Shelbyville in a pivotal league matchup Friday.

Tullahoma and Marshall County are still ranked third and fourth in Class 4A, with the Wildcats (7-0) to play at Region 4-4A rival Lawrence County this weekend and the Tigers (6-1) traveling to Spring Hill. Marshall County completed a season sweep of Giles County with last week’s 25-15 victory, while Tullahoma was idle.

Coming off an open date, Lewis County (7-0) maintains the No. 3 spot in the Class 2A poll, heading into its Region 5 matchup with host Loretto.

In Class 1A, previous No. 2 Copper Basin’s loss to McMinn Central cleared the way for an idle Fayetteville to move up a spot from third. The Tigers (6-1) step out of Region 5 play Friday to face visiting Gordonsville.

League rivals Moore County and Cornersville extended their top 10 runs another week, with the Raiders (6-1) slipping a slot to sixth despite a 41-0 win over Jo Byrns and the Bulldogs (5-2) holding on at No. 9 with an open date. Cornersville plays Friday at Richland, with Moore County traveling to Huntland.
