As the Central Red Devils rest up for the start of the playoffs, they’ll carry the Class 7A No. 1 ranking with them.

The Red Devils were once again voted No. 1 in the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s Class 7A poll. Central drew 19 first-place votes after finishing the regular season 9-0. The Red Devils defeated Prattville 56-20 thanks in part to a big game from senior wide receiver Justyn Ross.
