It’s that time of the year, everyone. High school football games continued throughout the state of Alabama Oct. 3-5 and there was plenty of great action taking place.

There's a new No. 1 team in the Yellowhammer State with Auburn upending Central-Phenix City, who comes in at No. 2, 38-33, and then followed by the Saraland Spartans and Thompson. As you'll see throughout our rankings things have begun to get shaken up a bit as we are now at the officially past the midway point of the season.

Here’s the complete breakdown of Alabama's elite high school football teams, heading into Week 7 of the 2024 season, as we see it.
