Local football teams now top 3 in 2A; North Side ranked

Local teams continue to rise while others fall in the top 10 rankings for the TSSAA released by the Associated Press on Monday.

Rural West Tennessee teams now take up the top three spots in Class 2A after Trenton Peabody joins No. 1 Trinity Christian and No. 2 Adamsville after Grace Christian lost this past week.

Huntingdon remained at No. 5 and was leap-frogged by 5-1 Marion County for the No. 4 spot despite getting a win over a team ranked in the top five of Class 3A last week.

There's a new team in the 4A top 10 as North Side entered the rankings at No. 10. They are behind other local teams Crockett County, who went up a spot to No. 4, and No. 8 Liberty.

In 3A, Westview jumped two spots to No. 4, while Camden's loss at Huntingdon caused the Lions to drop to No. 6.

The top-ranked teams in each classification remained the same as last week except for Division II as McCallie took over the top spot after Ensworth took a big loss last week. Maryville is the top team in 6A, Knoxville West in 5A, Knoxville Fulton in 4A, Alcoa in 3A and Union City in 1A.
