With Week-10 in the books, we are down to the final two weeks of the regular season. Last week, we saw some surprising upsets as some big games took place all across the state. Each classification saw some shakeup in the rankings this week. Here is our Georgia high School Football Ranking for Week-10.
Perhaps the biggest upset in Class 7A was Valdosta falling to Camden County. Camden got off to a slow start this season losing their first two games but they have put themselves in position to host a home playoff game with a win next week. The loss drops Valdosta to No. 9 this week. Meanwhile, Parkview was upset by Newton last week. The loss drops Parkview from the Top-10 and makes room for Norcross at No. 10.
Over in Class 6A, it was Northside Warner Robins who pulled of the big upset, defeating region rival Lee County by three. The loss drops the Trojans down to No. 6 this week. Lee County will have to bounce back as they will host the undefeated Thomas County Central Yellow Jackets this Friday in another pivotal region game.
Class 5A saw its shakeup at the bottom of the poll as Jefferson won big over previously ranked Loganville. The loss by the Red Devils dropped them our of the Top-10 this week. The Top-7 remains unchanged and the Kell Longhorns are back in the Top-10 at No. 10 this week
Down in Class 4A, the Top-6 teams remained unchanged but a little chaos ensued this week at the bottom as LaGrange upset Trinity Christian in Region 4.
