Morgan Academy is the biggest surprise among the prep football teams in Dallas County.

The Senators, winners of four straight games, are ranked 10th in the latest Alabama Sportswriters Association football poll.

While most of the country is stunned at the Senators’ 5-2 record, we are not surprised.

We admired how the Senators always gave it their all over the last five years under then-coach Josh Thacker and now with Danny Raines.

Raines always praise the players’ hard work and determination, two traits that will carry over with them as adults.

The Senators may not win a state championship next month, but they are truly winners.
