The Alabama Sports Writers Association released its second high school basketball rankings of the season on Dec. 11.
Briarwood's boys jumped up three spots to No. 6 in Class 5A, while the girls are now in the others nominated category after a tough stretch of games.
Chelsea's girls broke into the poll this week, now at No. 7 in Class 6A.
