ASWA RANKINGS: Cullman receives single vote in Class 6A

Published 11:00 pm Tuesday, September 29, 2015

Cullman's Reese Harbison wears No. 1 and holds up one finger after catching a touchdown at the end of the first half last week for the Bearcats, who coincidentally received one vote in this week's Class 6A rankings.

Cullman’s second win of the season over a non-region ranked opponent garnered the Bearcats a single vote in Class 6A when the Alabama Sports Writers Association released its latest rankings late Tuesday night.

The Black and Gold smoked then-4A No. 3 Fayette County 34-6 last Friday at home to improve to 4-1 with crucial region clashes scheduled over the next four weeks. The defeat dropped the Tigers (4-2) to seventh.

Cullman knocked Etowah out of the 5A top 10 with a 31-6 rout in late August.

The ’Cats clawed their way to a tie for 11th two weeks in a row but fell out of favor with the ASWA following a lopsided loss to Florence. Tuesday’s one vote marked their first appearance in the poll since.

The only local matchup featuring a ranked team sees Vinemont travel to 3A No. 8 Oakman on Friday.
