Thompson (6-2, 5-0) was ranked No. 11 in the Power 25 to start the season, but it opened the season with back-to-back losses to No. 11 Buford (GA) and No. 19 Lipscomb Academy (TN).
Since then, the Warriors are 6-0 with an 8th grade quarterback leading the way, and are currently ranked No. 4 in Alabama's Class 7A rankings. They have yet to allow more than 14 points since their Week 2 loss, and enter this week coming off a 51-0 shutout against Oak Mountain.
If Thompson wins this week, it should lock up at least a second-place finish in the Class 7A Region 3 standings. That is important because the Warriors only have one more regular season game on the schedule after this week, and it's not a favorable matchup.
They end their season at home facing the No. 2 Hoover Buccaneers (7-1, 5-0), whose only loss of the season came against No. 1 Auburn.
Tuscaloosa County (5-2, 3-2) on the other hand, has two games left.
That means if Tuscaloosa County can win out on the season including a win over Thompson this week, the Wildcats should finish the year in second place.
Tuscaloosa was defeated by Hoover 31-13 in Week 8, and fell to Hewitt-Trussville 35-7 in Week 5.
Outside of those games, the Wildcats have scored at least 28 points in every matchup, and are averaging more than 37 points per contest.
Their next two opponents have a combined seven wins on the season, so a win this week against Thompson could put them in really good shape heading into the postseason.
Two of the top teams in Alabama's Class 7A clash this week in a high-stakes Region 3 matchup and you won't want to miss it.
