We are already approaching the midpoint of the high school football season in Georgia. This past weekend provided us with some fantastic matchups all over the state. Region play also starts for some and continues for others this weekend as teams begin to jockey for position to earn one of the four playoff spots in each region. Here is our ranking for each classification throughout the state.
In Class 6A Carrollton maintains its stranglehold on the No. 1 spot as they defeated Class 5A’s No. 2 team, Gainesville by a wide margin. Buford also scored a big win over Class 6A top-10, Douglas County. Meanwhile Colquitt County falls from the ranking after a loss to Class 5A Lee County. That made room for Lowndes to enter into the rankings for the first time this week.
In Class 5A, Milton edged Class 4A Top-10 Blessed Trinity and maintains the No. 1 spot this week. Lee County is up one spot to No. 3 after their win over Colquitt. Sequoyah, which was up to No. 8 last week falls from the rankings after their loss to region foe, Sprayberry. That makes room for Rome to reenter the rankings this week after the victory over East Paulding. Over in Class 4A there was a little shake up at the bottom of the rankings as Cass and Kell fall from the rankings after losses this week. That made way for Warner Robins and North Oconee to make their debuts this week.
Down in Class 3A, Jefferson fell a few spots after suffering a shutout loss to North Oconee. Meanwhile, Troup finds themselves back in the Top-10 after beating previously unbeaten Mary Persons. Meanwhile, Class 2A saw no teams drop from the rankings, however, Stephens County did fall a few spots to No. 5 after a loss to Oconee County.
Class A Division I saw previous No. 9 Elbert County fall from the rankings. That made way for Fitzgerald to make their debut after a big win over Class A Division II Brooks County. Finally, in Class A Division II, it was Manchester and Pelham who made their way into the rankings this week, after Pelham defeated previously ranked, Seminole County and a loss by Emmanuel County Institute dropped both of those teams from the rankings.
