We're now into the month of March in the 2024 regular season as most teams are already starting to prepare for their crucial area series and action is in full-force from across the state. As will be the case each Monday during the season, it is time to release our third in-season AHSAA 7A-1A classification Top-10 polls. Our staff has been out in full force covering numerous games throughout the state and will continue to do so as the season progresses. 

As numerous hours go into the process of devising these AHSAA classification polls, numerous factors are taken into account including team records and strength of schedule. While records are important, we put a lot of emphasis on who teams are playing on the field. 

NOTE: These records for each team reflect their results from multiple websites, including the official AHSAA website (DragonFly).
