ASWA Football Poll
- Updated: September 15, 2015
Piedmont, Saks remain in top 10s, Ohatchee joins Wellborn, Alexandria among teams receiving votes
By East Alabama Sports Today
Piedmont and Saks remain the only two Calhoun County teams in this week’s statewide prep football poll, but if you look real closely there’s a new player in the mix.
Ohatchee, unranked since the 2002 preseason poll, is receiving votes in the Class 3A poll. The Indians, 1-2 after last week’s loss to Piedmont, collected seven points in the voting. They opened the season with a win over Southeastern School and lost a one-point game to Westbrook Christian.
Wellborn (3A) and undefeated Alexandria (5A) also are receiving votes in their respective classifications. The Valley Cubs are looking to reach 4-0 for the first time since 2007 Friday night against Springville. Wellborn visits Weaver looking to tighten up the region race with the Bearcats, Glencoe and Piedmont.
As for the teams that are in the polls, Piedmont remains No. 3 in Class 3A, while Saks is No. 6 in 4A.
Piedmont plays a game with huge region and poll implications Friday; the Bulldogs entertain No. 9 Glencoe.
According to the state high school football history website, the Bulldogs are 19-44 against ranked teams since 1984, and have lost their last five in a row since beating No. 4 Leeds in Week 5 of 2013.
