The weekly Alabama Sports Writers Association high school football poll was released Wednesday morning.
Hoover and Spain Park have been a consistent presence in the top half of the Class 7A and 6A poll, respectively, and that has continued into the 2025 season.
Hoover began the season as the No. 3 team in 7A, while Spain Park was No. 4 in 6A. Hoover lost to IMG Academy out of Florida, while Spain Park ran to a 48-21 win over Sparkman.
As a result, Hoover dropped a spot to No. 4 in 7A, while Spain Park held firm at No. 4 in 6A. The two teams square off this week in the Under the Lights Game of the Week, as Hoover visits Spain Park on Friday night.
