Red Bay’s winning run has carried the Tigers into the state boys rankings.

This week's Shoals-area high school basketball power rankings with perhaps a few words of inspiration:

RED BAY — BP Blair scored 11 points and Red Bay won for the ninth time in 10 games, beating Phil Campbell 49-41 on Saturday.

ATHENS — Luke Mosley scored 18 points and Muscle Shoals clinched the Class 6A, Area 15 regular-season championship with Friday's 53-49 double-overtime victory at Athens.

Two Shoals teams have risen in the latest high school basketball rankings to places they haven’t been in quite some time.

This week's Shoals-area high school basketball power rankings with perhaps a few words of inspiration:

ROGERSVILLE — The Central and Rogers boys basketball teams managed to accomplish something on Tuesday that had yet to be done in the 21st century.

BELGREEN — Lawson Glover scored 13 points, and Red Bay won its first Franklin County championship in four years with Saturday's 47-33 win over Phil Campbell.

MONTGOMERY — The Mr. Football trophy was safely tucked in Ryan Williams’ arms, the first time a sophomore had cradled it in the award’s 41-year history, and thought ahead to the next few days and then next year.

Mars Hill basketball presents an imposing question to fans starting this week.
