The Central Red Devils dropped two spots in this weeks rankings from No. 61 to 63rd following their 56-20 victory over the Prattville Lions at Garrett-Harrison Stadium.  Central’s road to their fourth straight region championship was highlighted by wins over Auburn, Lee-Montgomery, Jeff Davis and Opelika.  The Devils, ranked No. 1 in the Alabama Sports Writers Association 7A Top Ten have this Friday off before playing host to the Foley Lions or Theodore Bobcats in week 1 of the 7A state playoffs.
