The Georgia High School football season is off and running. There was a great slate of games across the state starting on Wednesday and commencing Saturday evening. We were treated to some great football regardless of classification. This week’s rankings are a reflection of our views on the outcomes of games in Week-1. Throughout all classifications, the No. 1 ranked team remained the same with the exception of Class 2A, where Callaway moves up to No. 1, despite having the first week off.
In Class 7A Buford remains on top while Carrollton falls 4 spots to No.6. New entrants this week include Mill Creek at No. 5 and Parkview at No. 10. In Class 6A, Langston Hughes remains atop the ranking as they defeated Carrollton on the road. There were no teams that dropped from the Top-10 in 6A, but watch out for Houston County. We wouldn’t be shocked to see them crack our rankings soon.
In Class 5A, the top two, (Ware County and Creekside), remain the same, yet there was some shakeup after that. Hiram jumps into the rankings at No. 8 this week giving Region 7 three teams in the Top-10. Class 4A saw the top 3 teams remain unchanged as Benedictine, Troup and North Oconee all held serve. Westminster makes their 2023 debut in the rankings at No. 10.
Class 3A might be deeper than any other classification other than 7A. The top four teams remain unchanged this week. Carver Atlanta is in the rankings at No. 10 this week after their big win over LaGrange. Down in Class 2A there was a major shakeup as No. 1 ranked Thompson fell to class 4A Baldwin 14-12. Appling County also dropped a game to class 5A Ware County. Callaway takes over the top spot there, even though they were off last week.
Both Class A Division I and Class A Division II saw plenty of shakeup this week. In Division I, Prince Avenue remains on top while Lamar County makes their debut this week at No. 10. Division II had the most turnover this week. While Schley County, Early County and Clinch County sit at No. 1, 2, & 3 respectively, the rest of the rankings were turned upside down. New entrants to the rankings this week include Manchester (No. 4), McIntosh County Academy (No. 5), Turner County (No. 8) and Johnson County (No. 9).
