The Thompson Warriors wrapped up the regular season with another top-two spot in the ASWA football rankings when the final rankings off the season were released on Wednesday, Nov. 8.

The Warriors finished the season at No. 2 in the Class 7A rankings as they remained either No. 1 or No. 2 for the entire 2023 season.

Thompson had a bye week in Week 11 after beating Hoover to finish 8-1, and it will face Florence on Thursday, Nov. 9 in the first round of the playoffs.

While Thompson was the only county team ranked in the final poll, multiple teams received votes, including Spain Park, which received one vote from the media.

The Jags closed out the season with a 39-0 win over Pelham. While Spain Park missed out on the playoffs, it finished the regular season on a five-game win streak to earn a 7-3 record.

In Class 6A, Helena earned 16 votes but finished just outside the top 10 in 11th place. The Huskies went 8-2 in 2023 while earning the No. 2 seed out of Class 6A, Region 3. They will host Wetumpka on Thursday, Nov. 9 in the first round of the playoffs.

The Vincent Yellow Jackets also received two votes in the Class 2A rankings. They finished the season 6-4 after a bye week in Week 11 and will travel to 5-5 Clarke County for their first round playoff game on Thursday, Nov. 9.
