ASWA High School Football Poll
Week 9 -- Wednesday, October 19, 2022
Thompson moves back to the top of the 7A poll this week in the ASWA rankings. Many of the top teams play other ranked teams this week so look for more shakeups next week.

Florence moves into the top ten for the first time since 2015. Charles Henderson makes an appearance for the first time since 2014 in 5A. Randolph is the #10 team in 4A and that is the first time the school has ever been ranked by the ASWA. Lastly Excel moves up to #8 in 1A and that is their highest ranking since 1997.
