What a great week of high school football this past Friday. Some teams were able to start to separate themselves from the field in region play, while other teams made things a little more interesting. Nevertheless, here is how we rank the Top-10 teams in each classification in this weeks Georgia High school Football Poll.
In Class 7A Roswell finds themselves in the poll for the first time this season. The Hornets outdueled previous No. 10 ranked Cherokee on Friday night. Most of the other Top-10 teams on Friday had a bye week. Class 6A saw little movement this week as all of the Top-10 teams were victorious. The only change was Westlake and Allatoona swapping spots at No. 5 & No. 6.
Over in Class 5A, Ware County jumps to No. 2 after their win over Coffee. Blessed Trinity holds firm to No. 1 after their win over Calhoun. The Clarke Central Gladiators check in at No. 10 for the first time this season. Class 4A, sees the Cedartown Bulldogs at No. 10 this week. The remainder of the 4A poll remained unchanged.
There was a bit of shuffling in Class 3A. Oconee County is up to No. 2 While Peach County is at No. 3. Both teams had big wins, as well as the No. 1 team Cedar Grove. Third year program Cherokee Bluff is in at No. 10. The Bears are off to their best start at 6-0. Meanwhile in Class 2A, Vidalia and Putnam County crack the Top-10 at No. 9 & No. 10 respectively this week.
Over in Class A-Public, no new teams joined the Top-10. Wilcox County and Chattahoochee County swapped places at No. 9 and No. 10 after Wilcox fell to Dublin on Friday. Finally, in Class-A Private, Prince Avenue Christian claims the top spot in the poll after a big win over Athens Christian. Previous No. 1 ELCA had their game with Pace cancelled.
