TRUSSVILLE — The Alabama High School Soccer Coaches Association released its first soccer rankings on Friday and two teams within The Trussville Tribune cracked the top 10 of their respective divisions.
The Pinson Valley boys, who are 5-6-2 on the season, sit at No. 9 in Class 6A. The Indians are recently coming off of a 3-0 victory over Clay-Chalkville. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak.
Pinson Valley concluded this past season 11-11-2 and lost to the Cougars, 6-1, in the second round of the Class 6A state tournament.

Joining the Pinson Valley boys in the top 10 are the Hewitt-Trussville girls, who sit at No. 4 in both the Super Poll and the Class 7A poll.

Led behind a stout defense, Hewitt-Trussville has not allowed a single goal since it allowed four goals in that opening-season loss to Chelsea. The Huskies followed a 3-4 loss to Chelsea to open the season with a 1-0 victory over Hoover, a 2-0 victory over Daphne, a 2-0 victory over Fort Payne, a 3-0 Lakeshore Shootout Gold Division championship victory over Trinity Presbyterian, a 4-0 victory over Prattville Valley and an 11-0 victory over Pinson Valley.
