TRUSSVILLE — Following another dominant performance last Friday night, the Hewitt-Trussville High School football team remains directly behind top-ranked Thompson in the updated Class 7A poll.
The Huskies (4-0, 2-0) tore past Tuscaloosa County 50-18 on Sept. 11—the team’s second straight 32-point victory and third blowout win in as many on-field games this season. The hot start has not been enough to catch the Warriors (4-0, 2-0) in the eyes of the voters, although Hewitt-Trussville did receive two first-place votes this week.
If the Huskies hope to take over the No. 1 spot this time next week, they’ll have to knock off top-ranked Thompson on Friday night in Hewitt-Trussville Stadium. That highly anticipated Region 3 contest will air on ESPNU starting at 7:30 p.m.
Additional Tribune-area teams listed in the fifth installment of the 2020 ASWA football rankings include Class 6A programs No. 4 Pinson Valley and No. 5 Clay-Chalkville.
