BHS Remains No. 4 in Latest WVSSAC Football Poll
By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on October 17, 2019
As the 2019 Bridgeport High School football season winds down, Bridgeport finds itself still in good shape for the postseason. According to the latest computer-generated rankings released earlier this week, the Indians are still ranked in the No. 4 spot in Class AA.
If the season would end now, the Indians would finish the year earning a playoff berth and being in position to host two playoff games. A team must finish in the top two spots to earn the right to host throughout the postseason.
Fairmont Senior is the clear top-ranked team in the standings with a 6-0 record. They are followed by Keyser, also 6-0. The Golden Tornado will visit Bridgeport on Oct. 25 in a showdown that should have plenty of postseason implications.
In the third spot, Poca is holding things down with a 7-0 record. They are followed by BHS.
Lewis County would also host a first round playoff game if action started today. The Minutemen have won five in a row after dropping their season opener to Bridgeport and are ranked No. 8.
Two other Bridgeport foes are in the top 16 - all of whom make the postseason. Liberty at 5-1 and North Marion at 4-2 are both ranked in the No. 12 spot.
No other local Class AA teams are in the top 20.
Cabell Midland at 7-0 is ranked No. 1 in Class AAA. Doddridge County and Pendleton County, both 6-0, are deadlocked for the top spot in Class A.
