We are rapidly approaching the halfway point of the high school football season in Georgia. The wheat is slowly separating itself from the chaff as there were not many upsets this past week. Here is a look at our Top-10 in each classification.
In Class 7A, the top 8 remains unchanged. It was East Coweta scoring a big win over Lowndes and Valdosta secured their first shutout of the season. Those two results launch East Coweta and Valdosta into the rankings at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively this week. Over in Class 6A, Marist won a Top-10 battle over Blessed Trinity, knocking the Titans out of the rankings this week. The Douglas County Tigers replace Blessed Trinity at No. 10.
In Class 3A, Cedar Grove remains at No. 1 despite falling to Class 7A Mill Creek. Meanwhile Morgan County defeated Monroe Area in a battle of Top-10 teams. The loss drops Monroe Area out of the rankings and makes room for Thomasville to jump back at No. 10. Finally, in Class A Division II, Lanier County got a big shutout win over McIntosh County. That vaults Lanier into the the Top-10 at No. 6. Jenkins County got a big shutout win over Screven County which was enough to get them in at No. 9 this week.
There was no change in the rankings for Class 5A, Class 4A, Class 2A and Class A- Division I this week.
