We approach the middle of October, and as temperatures begin to cool down, region races are just now starting to heat up in Georgia. This is our Georgia High School Football Poll, where we take a look at our Top-10 teams in each classification.
In 7A the Top-10 remained unchanged. All teams that played won rather convincingly. In 6A, the River Ridge Knights make their first appearance ever in our Top-10. They’ll have a big test this week in region play. In Class 5A, Starr’s Mill checks in at No. 9. The Panthers have reeled off five consecutive wins since a one point opening week loss to 7A, East Coweta.
Over in Class 4A, Baldwin is back in the Top-10, while Central-Carroll makes their first appearance ever in our polls. The Lions beat previously ranked Northwest Whitfield and have now won four straight. Meanwhile, the Monroe Area Purple Hurricanes make their debut in the rankings this week. They have also won five straight games.
It’s been a couple of seasons, but the Cook Hornets crack the Top-10 in our 2A poll this week. They come in at No. 9, while Pace Academy is back in at No. 10 after a win over Lovett. Other teams that are right on the outside of the rankings in Class 2A are undefeated Putnam County and undefeated Fannin County.
In Class A-Public, Washington-Wilkes jumps into the poll at No. 8, while Chattahoochee County is in at No. 10. Both teams are undefeated on the season. Finally, in Class A-Private, the George Walton Academy Bulldogs got a big win over Holy Innocents, earning them the No. 10 spot in this week’s poll.
