Week-12 has come and gone and boy oh boy were we treated to some fantastic action on Friday night. Typically, this would have ben the end of the regular season, but there will be some makeup games this coming week due to Hurricane Helene earlier this fall. Here is our look at the Top-10 teams in each classification for GHSA Football.
Class 6A featured a couple of Top-10 matchups on Friday as Carrollton downed Douglas County while Buford beat Mill Creek. Carrollton and Buford remain in the top two spot in the rankings. Douglas County drops two spots to No. 7 while Mill Creek falls to No. 10. Lowndes picked up a big win in the Winnersville Classic as they defeated Valdosta by 10. Lowndes is up to No. 9 this week. Class 5A also had a couple of Top-10 matchups as Milton defeated rival Roswell and Thomas County Central defeated Coffee. Roswell stays put at No. 5 even in defeat while Coffee falls to No. 9.
Over in Class 4A, Warner Robins defeated Perry in a Region 1 showdown. The Demons jump two spots to No. 8 as Perry is down two spots to No. 9. Elsewhere, Starr’s Mill was upset on Friday night and as a result, they fall from the rankings this week. That makes way for Cedartown to make their first appearance in the rankings at No. 10. Down in Class 3A, Oconee County had the big win as they defeated Region 8 foe Jefferson on Friday night. The win catapults Oconee County up to No. 4 this week while Jefferson falls to No. 5. Meanwhile, Douglass and LaGrange were upset on Friday night as both of those teams drop from the rankings. That made room for the Stephenson Jagaurs (No. 10) and the Upson-Lee Knights (No. 9) to make their debut into the rankings.
Class 2A had three Top-10 matchups this past Friday. It was Appling County upsetting then No. 1 ranked Pierce County. Callaway upset Morgan County, while Prince Avenue Christian topped Hebron Christian. The new No. 1 team in Class 2A this week is Carver-Columbus. Appling County was one of the biggest movers as they jump from No. 6 to No. 3. Callaway is also up three spots to No. 6.
Down in Class A Division I, it was Savannah Christian outlasting Toombs County. The Raiders take over the No. 1 spot while Toombs County drop one spot to No. 2. Fellowship Christian sneaks into the rankings at No. 10 after Fitzgerald was upset on Friday night and drops from the Top-10. Finally, Class A Division II saw Irwin County edge Brooks County in a battle of Top-10 teams. In the other two Top-10 matchups, it was Lincoln County downing Greene County while Bowdon beat Trion.
