Week-7 of high school football in the great state of Georgia is in the books. Hurricane Ian forced many teams to move games around this week, but most games that were scheduled did get played or rescheduled. As always, there were some games that caught us by surprise. Here are our new rankings for this week.
In Class 7A, not much changes in the Top-10 this week. Walton survived a scare from previously ranked No. 10 North Paulding. The North Paulding loss drops them from the Top-10, which makes room for a resurgent Lowndes Vikings team who rounds out the Top-10 at No. 10.
Once again, there were no changes to the Class 6A rankings, as all of the teams in the Top-10 won this weekend. The same can be said for Class A-Division I as none of the Top-10 lost this past week.
Class 5-A might have seen the biggest upset as Calhoun traveled to Cartersville and beat the Purple Hurricanes in three overtimes. The loss by Cartersville drops them to No. 5 this week, while Calhoun is up to No. 4. The new No. 1 team is Dutchtown. Meanwhile, the Warner Robins Demons are back in the Top-10 this week after their shutout victory last week.
Not too much changed in Class 4-A. Trinity Christian is in at No. 10 this week after downing previously ranked Starr’s Mill 3-0. The loss by Starr’s Mill drops them out of the rankings this week.
Over in Class 3-A, Dougherty County made a statement with a 16-point victory over Crisp County. The win moves the Trojans up to No. 5 this week, while Crisp drops to No. 10. The Savannah Christian Raiders find themselves in the Top-10 for the first time this season as they come at No. 9 this week.
In Class 2-A, not much changed at the top of the rankings. The Appling Co-Pierce Co game has been moved to Monday, after being cancelled on Friday. Northeast (Macon) is back in the Top-10 this week after Columbia drops from the rankings as a result of their loss to Callaway. There are several teams in Class 2A that are close to Top-10 caliber that have not found their way into the rankings including Worth County, Vidalia, Putnam County, Laney, North Cobb Christian and Athens Academy.
Finally, in Class A-Division II, McIntosh County is back in the Top-10 at No. 10 this week, as they replace Mt. Zion-Carroll who lost to Mt. Pisgah on Friday night.
