Week Seven of the 2025 football season is history. Teams are getting in playoff mode as the regular season winds down. Here are a few tidbits from this past week's games.

   *   The AHSFHS Podcast is uploaded for our listeners. This week we switched formats to cover each and every region in the state. Join us as we begin looking at the playoff possibilities for the teams.

   *   Look for the Barber Shop Guru predictions on Tuesday along with the usual content at AHSFHS.org. You can test your luck in beating them by joining us in the forums.

   *   Three Number One teams lost this week so look for a shakeup in the ASWA polls this week.

   *   No out-of-state games this week with a few more to be played the last week of the regular season. Here is how our great state stacks up thus far. Overall the AHSAA schools are 22-15 against other states.  Here are the records against neighboring states.  Georgia (3-6), Florida (11-9), Mississippi (6-0), Tennessee (1-0) and South Carolina (1-0).  There are a handful of out of state games on the slate this week.

   *  How about we begin this week with what I'll call "taking care of business" wins. Central Phenix City made a statement with a 36-0 shutout of rival Auburn.  The Thompson Warriors took care of Hewitt-Trussville by a score of 34-12. Carver Montgomery ran away from Enterprise 49-14.

   *   More statement wins.  Clay-Chalkville tried to prove they were the best team in any classification with an impressive 49-0 win over Mountain Brook.  Anniston got past Cherokee County 20-13. 

   *   In a huge game down in 4A St. Michael outscored #1 Jackson 49-39 in a matchup of a couple of great teams.  Cottage Hill Christian scored their first ever win over T.R. Miller by a score of 28-14 on Friday. 

   *  Any upsets? You know there were a few. Brewer shocked a very good Scottsboro team 34-31 for their first win over a ranked opponent since 1999.  Huntsville upset Austin after entering the game as an 8 point underdog 21-17.  Lanett knocked off 2A #1 Reeltown 20-19. Sparkman surprised Bob Jones 29-26. Lastly, Whitesburg Christian upset Holly Pond 28-6.

   *  Comeback wins?  Madison Academy was down by two scores late in the game before storming back for a 57-56 win over North Jackson. What a game!  Central Clay County scored on a 35 yard pass play with nine seconds remaining to defeat Elmore County by a score of 21-14.  Opelika scored on a 92-yard pass with 1:55 left in the game to knock off Dothan 21-14.

   *  Close games?  St. Clair County and Leeds went back and forth all night before the Fighting Saints pulled out a double overtime victory 50-49.  Boaz got a fourth down stop to defeat Sardis 28-24.  McAdory squeaked past Central Tuscaloosa 21-20.  Southside Gadsden needed two overtimes to beat Mae Jemison 22-16.

   *  It seems every week the offenses are setting records.  Ramsay ran over Hayden 73-6.  West Morgan thumped East Lawrence 64-0.  Vinemont set all kinds of school records in a 78-42 win over Hanceville.  In all 42 teams scored at least 50 points this week in the AHSAA.

   *  Fyffe has been ranked by the ASWA for an amazing 182 consecutive polls dating back to the 2009 season. The Red Devils were ranked #4 last week in Class 3A.

   *   Wadley has the state's longest winning streak currently at twenty games. The Bulldogs defeated Woodland 49-7 last week.

   *   Columbia holds onto the longest losing streak at 97 straight setbacks. The Eagles fell to Decatur 37-0. They hold the all-time record for consecutive losses.

   *   Demopolis owns a string of 30 consecutive region victories. The Tigers knocked off Shelby County 29-27. Reeltown saw their string of 26 straight region wins come to an end with a 20-19 loss to Lanett.

   *   Columbia has also lost 58 consecutive region games.

   *   West Morgan has won 30 straight regular season games following the Rebels win over East Lawrence Friday.

   *   Saraland, ranked #2 in 6A, has reeled off a string of 35 consecutive home victories.

   *   Saraland also has the longest away winning streak with 16 consecutive road wins. They defeated Baldwin County 28-0 on the road.

   *   The Red Devils of Fyffe are currently sitting on a string of 339 games without being shutout.  T.R. Miller tops this list with a string of 354 games.

   *   Coach Steve Smith will travel with his Westbrook Christian team out of state this week as they take on Trion, Georgia. The significance of this game is that with a victory he will join the 300 win club for high school football coaches in Alabama. Now that is a great accomplishment.

   *   Mike Battles Jr., the head coach at Southern Academy can also join the 200 win club with his father this week at Southern will host Fort Dale Academy.

   *   Brian Seymore at Trinity came up short in his bid to win the 150th game of his career last week against Montgomery Academy but will get a second chance this week as the Wildcats travel to Northside Methodist.

   *   Cherokee County can become the 47th school to claim 600 wins in program history, according to our records. They came up short against Anniston but will try their luck this week as they play host to Hokes Bluff.

   *    Pike County can win the 500th game in school history this week as they travel to Straughn on Friday night.
