The top six teams in the first in-season High School Football America Tennessee Top 10, powered by NFL Play Football, hold their preseason spots after picking-up wins last weekend. No. 7 Summit and No. 10 Powell, the state’s defending 5A champ, lost their season openers and drop-out of the latest statewide rankings.
Entering the Top 10 are Ensworth and Riverdale at No. 8 and No. 9 respectively.
No. 1 Lipscomb Academy and No. 2 Oakland have big out-of-state games this week.

The Mustangs started the season ranked No. 29 in the High School Football America 100 preseason national rankings. Thompson, which lost last week to No. 3 Buford, will probably from their preseason No. 17 when the first in-season national rankings come-out Sunday.
