After three weeks of high school football in the State of Georgia we begin to better understand where teams stack up in their respective classifications. As we look ahead to Week-4 and march close to the midway point of the season, here is a look at our Top-10 rankings in each classification.
Class 7A looks exactly the same as the previous week. Four of the Top-10 teams were off last week and the other six teams were all victors. In Class 6A, there is a new No. 1 as Gainesville and Hughes swap spots after Langston Hughes fell to Butler of NC on Saturday. Rome fell to No. 5 after their loss to Class 7A Carrollton. Over in Class 5A, Cartersville is up to No. 2 as they swap spots with Creekside who drops to No. 3 after their loss to Mater Dei of California. Greater Atlanta Christian and Winder-Barrow are in the Top-10 for the first time this season. They check in at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively.
In Class 4A, the Perry Panthers were the big mover as they had a big win over Jones County. The Panthers are up to No. 4. Meanwhile, the Spalding Jaguars make their debut into our Top-10 at No. 10 this week. Down in Class 3A, Sandy Creek replaces Cedar Grove at No. 1 after a Cedar Grove fell to Class 7A Westlake. Monroe-Area is a big mover up three spots to No. 7, while Hebron Christian slips in at No. 9 this week making their first appearance in the rankings.
Perhaps the most interesting result this week was in Class 2A, where Northeast Macon went on the road and upset Fitzgerald. The win vaults the Raiders all the way up to No. 5 while Fitzgerald drops to No. 8. Callaway remains at No. 1 despite their loss to Class 4A and cross town rival Troup. The Vidalia Indians round out the poll at No. 10, it’s their first appearance in the rankings this season. Over in Class A-Division I, Commerce was the only Top-10 team to lose last week. The loss drops them to No. 7 this week.
Finally, in Class A-Division II, Schley County flexed their muscle and avenged last year’s loss to Early County, winning 30-0. The loss drops Early down to No. 6.
