Week three brought some big surprises across the state in all classifications. Our Week-3 GHSA Football Poll reflects some of those surprises. In Class 7-A, there was no change in the poll as all teams playing won. Meanwhile in 6A it was Westlake falling to the Creekside “Giant Killer” Seminoles by seven. The loss drops Westlake one spot this week while the Creekview Grizzlies make their debut at No. 10 after their second rout of a Class 7-A opponent.
Over in Class 5-A, it was Creekside with another big win as we mention previously. However, the Seminoles did not move up because of the impressive wins of Ware County and Woodward Academy. Decatur had a huge win over G.A.C. while it was St. Pius downing Blessed Trinity to enter the poll at No. 9 for the first time this season. Meanwhile, Griffin is back in at No. 10 this week. In the Class 4-A poll, Marist drops one spot after their loss to Woodward. The Stephenson Jaguars make their debut this week at No. 9.
Down in Class 3-A, Crisp County drops out of the poll after their loss to Class 4-A Perry. Monroe Area takes their place at No. 10 this week, but watch out for Stephens County and a host of other teams vying for a spot in the poll. Over in Class 2-A, Dodge County had a big come from behind win over Class 4-A West Laurens which propelled the Indians to a 3-0 record on the season. The win also propelled them into the Top-10 after Vidalia dropped out of the poll this week.
Perhaps the biggest surprise in Class A-Public was Schley County’s shutout victory over Wilcox County. The win catapults the Wildcats in at No. 6 this week. Finally, in Class A-Private, it was Trinity Christian all over Fellowship Christian in a battle of Top-10 teams. Trinity really looks like a wrecking crew this season and might be difficult to find a team that can outscore them!
