We are already a third of the way through the regular season and we there is still a lot we don’t know about how region play will shake out. While many teams will begin region play, this week, we are getting a sense of who the contenders might by this season. This is our GHSA Football Ranking for each classification in the state of Georgia.
North Gwinnett was the big mover and shaker in Class 6-A as they beat Colquitt County on Friday night. Their win propels them up to No. 3 from No. 7. The loss drops Colquitt down to No. 10 this week. Camden County makes their debut into the rankings this week. They replace Walton, who drops out after a loss to Roswell. In Class 5-A, Rome drops 4 spots to No. 9 this week after their loss to Carrollton. Woodward drops from the poll after a loss last week. That made way for Sequoyah to enter the poll after they defeated Kell on Friday night.
Over in Class 4-A, Cartersville retains the top spot, while Blessed Trinity is up one spot to No. 2. Perry drops to No. 5 after a loss to Houston County. Benedictine got a big win, their first of the season, and are up three spots to No. 7 this week. Meanwhile, Class 3-A, Sandy Creek retains the top spot. Cherokee Bluff makes their debut into the rankings this week at No. 9.
Class 2-A saw the most losses of the Top-10 teams this week, but those were against opponents from higher classification, so while there was movement in the poll,, only one team dropped out, making room for Lovett, who moved to 3-0 with a win over Spencer. In Class A-Division I, it was Elbert County scoring a big win over Wesleyan. The win dropped the Wolves from the rankings, while Elbert is in at No. 9 this week. Lamar County also makes their debut in the rankings at No. 10 this week. Finally, in Class A-Division II, Brooks County got a big win over Cook. That moves them into the 10 spot this week.
