Our Georgia High School Football poll highlights some of the top teams in each classification. There was a full set of games this weekend with some eyebrow raising results. Many of those games had an impact on this week’s poll.
Perhaps the biggest surprise all weekend was North Gwinnett falling to Class 6A Lovejoy. Maybe the Bulldogs were looking ahead, in any event the loss only drops them two positions this week. The Newnan Cougars crack the Top-10 for the first time in a long while after a 3-0 start.
In 6A both Valdosta and Lee County dropped games to Class 7A opponents, but they remain at the top of the poll, The aforementioned Lovejoy Wildcats comes in at No. 9 this week. In Class 5A the Calhoun Yellow Jackets make their debut in the 2020 poll. They are undefeated this season and look to be rounding back into form.
Last week saw Class 4A Hapeville Charter drop their second game to a Class 7A team. The loss drops the Hornets to No. 8 this week. The Northwest Whitfield Bruins crack the Top-10 as they are off to a 4-0 start. Class 3A has a new top team as the Crisp County Cougars jump Cedar Grove. Cedar Grove has yet to play, while Crisp beat Class A-Private No. 1 E.L.C.A. on Friday.
Meanwhile in Class 2-A, there was a little shuffling in the poll, but no teams dropped out. Thomasville fell to 4A Bainbridge, but remains at No. 4 while Pace drops a couple of spots after falling to Westminster. In Class A-Public, Taylor County scored a big win over Schley last week and debuts at No. 7 this week.
Finally, in Class-A Private, Eagle’s Landing Christian holds on to the top spot, even after falling to Class 3-A Crisp County. Aquinas makes their debut in the 2020 poll. They will be tested this week as they host Strong Rock Christian, (another team on the verge of cracking the Top-10).
