There were some big matchups and also some big surprises this past Friday night. This week’s Georgia High School Football Poll had some shake-ups, especially in Classes 7A and 2A. There are still some big matchups over the final three weeks of the schedule so buckle up that chinstrap!
In Class 7A, it was Collins Hill getting a big win over North Gwinnett on Friday night catapulting the Eagles to the No. 5 spot. East Coweta also jumps into the Top-10 this week. Meanwhile, Parkview dropped four spots after falling to Grayson. The Class 6A Poll remains unchanged this week.
Over in Class 5-A, Ola dropped a game to Jones County, moving them down to No. 10 this week. Otherwise there were no surprises in games played in the Top-10. The Top-10 for Class 4A and Class 3A also remains unchanged from last week as the ranked teams either held serve or were off last week.
Class 2A saw a big shake up as Northeast (Macon) defeated Bleckely County on Thursday, while Toombs County fell to Jeff Davis on Friday night. The results of those two games helped pave the way for Northeast (Macon) to debut at No. 8 this week and the undefeated Fannin County Rebels make their first ever entrance into our Top-10 poll.
The Top-10 in Class A-Public remains unchanged this week. However, there was a little shakeup in Class-A Private. Aquinas and George Walton Academy fall from the polls this week. They are replaced by Savannah Christian at No. 8 and Trinity Christian at No. 9.
As always, thanks for reading. Please feel free to comment and share. Best of luck to all of the teams competing on Friday night.
