We are down to the final two weeks of the regular season for Georgia High School football. Region playoff seeding is starting to become more clear, but some late season upsets have made other region races more difficult to predict. Here is our Top-10 in each classification.
In Class 7A, it was the Parkview Panthers scoring an upset over Newton to jump right back into the region title picture. Newton drops to No. 10 this week while Parkview is back in the rankings at No. 9. In Class 6A, Marist knocked off North Atlanta in a battle of Top-10 teams. That knocked North Atlanta from the rankings this week. Meanwhile Thomas County Central shutout Houston County on Saturday. Despite the loss, the Bears still hang in at No. 10 this week.
In Class 5A, the Dalton Catamounts scored an upset victory over the Calhoun Yellow Jackets on Friday. Dalton makes their first appearance in the rankings as a result while Calhoun falls from No. 5 to No. 10 this week. Over in Class 4A, the Trinity Christian Lions fall from the Top-10 after losing to LaGrange. Region 4 now has 4 teams all with a 4-1 region record. Meanwhile, the Stockbridge Tigers have won their 6th straight game and are in at No. 10 this week.
Cedar Grove won a matchup of Top-10 teams in Class 3A as they downed Sandy Creek. The Saints stay at No. 1 this week while Sandy Creek falls to No. 9. In Class 2A, the Spencer Greenwave upset the Northeast Macon Raiders on Friday. The win catapults The Greenwave into the rankings for the first time this season as they check in at No. 9 while Northeast falls to No. 10.
In Class A-Division I, the Commerce Tigers won a big region matchup as they defeated the Elbert County Blue Devils on the road. The win has Commerce up to No. 4 this week while Elbert falls to No. 8. Finally, in Class A-Division II, The Aquinas Fighting Irish fell to Washington Wilkes and falls out of the Top -10.
