Week 6 3A Poll: Jasper, Bullard Switch Seventh, Eighth Spots

Eight teams kept their same spots from last week, but Jasper and Bullard flip-flopped in the ETSN.fm Week 6 3A Top 10.

Jasper (4-1) moved from eighth to seventh with a 21-7 win against Bridge City, while Bullard (4-1) fell only one spot with a closer-than-the-score 27-14 home loss to Kilgore, which improved to 5-0 and retained the No. 1 spot.

No. 2 Gilmer improved to 5-1 thanks to a big fourth quarter in a 50-28 home win against Chapel Hill, and Carthage (4-2) remained No. 3 after its 54-14 road rout of Rusk.

No. 4 Henderson (3-2) had the week off, but faces Gilmer in a Saturday night showdown in District 16-3A at Longview's Lobo Stadium.

Fifth-ranked Center improved to 6-0 with a 48-13 blowout of Corrigan-Camden, while sixth-ranked Palestine (4-2) kept its spot with a 39-14 victory against Pittsburg. Two idle teams round out this week's top 10, just like a week ago: No. 9 Van (4-1) and No. 10 Canton (4-1).
