This past Friday gave us a lot of great action around the state. As usual there were a few games that surprised us, and then there were other teams that validated their rankings. Here is a look at our Top-10 teams in each classification at the midpoint of the season.
In Class 7A, North Cobb is back in the Top-10 as they defeated Milton on Friday. North Paulding is also in the Top-10 for the first time this season. Dropping out of the poll this week are Parkview and Milton. One surprising result this weekend was Grayson losing to unranked Lowndes. Grayson falls to No. 7 this week.
Class 6A had no changes in the Top-10. And for that matter neither did Class 2A or Class A-Division II.
The Eastside Eagles are in the Top-10 for the first time this season in Class 5A. The Eagles got a big win over Flowery Branch Friday night and have now won three straight. Warner Robins drops from the Top-10 this week after a loss to Houston County.
In Class 4A we saw a little bit of shuffling in the Top-10. LaGrange falls out of the rankings with their loss to Whitewater. That made room for Wayne County to make their debut at No. 10. Meanwhile, in Class 3A, Cedar Grove suffered their second consecutive defeat to a 7A team. The Saints still top the poll this week.
Finally Class-A Division I was shaken up a little bit. Social Circle upset Lamar County and that was enough to get the Redskins into the No. 8 spot this week. Elbert County also makes their season debut as they are in at No. 9 this week. Despite losing to Rabun County, Whitefield Academy remains at No. 10 this week and rounds out the Top-10.
