South Gibson enters West Tennessee High School Football Rankings after Week 8

By Michael Odom | October 15, 2025 |

Half of the teams across West Tennessee were on Fall break last week, so half of the football teams in West Tennessee were also on their off week.

One of the seven undefeated teams took its first loss of the season as Lake County upset South Fulton.

So the Red Devils dropped out of the rankings, and South Gibson – who was off last week but had the biggest win of the season the previous week over Lexington – went back into the rankings.

There are a number of teams off this Friday for Fall break. So here are the top 15 teams in West Tennessee heading into Week 8 action:
