The Elizabethton Cyclones coming off their big 44-10 win over Greeneville secured all 17 votes for the top spot in Class 4A this week. Sullivan South, the Cyclones opponent this week, came in at the 10th spot tied with Greeneville who remained in the top 10 despite their loss.

Another local team, Hampton, dropped a heartbreaker in the last two minutes of their contest against South Greene but only fell one spot this week to eighth in Class 2A while South Greene didn’t get any more respect remaining at sixth after defeating Hampton.

In Class 1A, the Cloudland Highlanders received 14 points this week and are just 17 points out of moving into the top 10 after their big road win at Jellico last week secured the Region 1-1A championship.
