It’s hard to believe that we are down to the last week of of the regular season for Georgia High School Football. This past Friday certainly provided some outstanding games as several teams battled for region titles. However, there are still games with plenty of meaning this coming week as teams fight to qualify for the playoffs. Here is a look at our Top-10 teams in each classification.
In Class 7A, Grayson finds themselves back in the Top-10 this week as they got a big win over Archer. They replace Newton who was upset by South Gwinnett. Thomas County Central moves up one spot in the Class 6A rankings. They swap spots with Lee County, whom they beat by a touchdown in a battle of South Georgia powers. The remainder of the 6A rankings remains unchanged.
The bottom of Class 5A has been topsy turvy over the last few weeks and this week is no exception as Hiram and Greater Atlanta Christian are back in the rankings at No. 8 and No. 9. Meanwhile, it’s the Harris County Tigers who take over the No. 10 spot and find themselves in the Top-10 for the first time this season. There was plenty of shuffling in Class 4A as Spalding knocked off Perry in a battle of Top-10 teams. The win moves Spalding up to No. 5 while Perry drops to No. 6. Troup, Stockbridge and Central-Carrollton all move up one spot, while LaGrange rounds out the Top-10 at No. 10 for the first time this season. LaGrange and Troup, who are county rivals, while face off for a chance to win a share of the region title this Friday.
The Top-10 teams in Class 3A all held serve this week; there were no changes there. In Class 2A, Cook defeated Fitzgerald. With the loss, the Purple Hurricanes dropped to No. 7 this week. Cook, who initially had to forfeit games, had those wins reinstated, pending an additional court date with the GHSA. It was an interesting turn of events. The Cook Hornets are unranked this week.
In Class A-Division I, it was the Bleckley County Royals getting a big win over previous No. 2 Swainsboro. The win moves the Royals up to No. 4 this week, while Swainsboro drops to No. 5. Trion and Commerce are up to No. 2 and No. 3 respectively, while the rest of the rankings remain unchanged. Finally in Class A-Division II, it was Aquinas pulling off the big win over Greene County. With the win, the Fighting Irish are back in the rankings this week at No. 7, while Greene County drops to No. 9.
