Another week of Georgia High School Football is in the books. Our GHSA Poll has been updated to reflect the results of last week’s action. Class 7-A saw several surprising results, highlighted by Walton falling to West Forsyth. Marietta had a big win over Camden County and moves into the poll at No. 9 this week. Over in Class 6-A, perhaps the biggest surprise was Kennesaw Mountain backing up their win over Allatoona with a huge win over Sprayberry. Kennesaw Mountain debuts in our poll at No. 10 this week.
In Class 5-A, it was Cartersville holding serve against Creekside at home. The two teams swap places in the poll, while St. Pius drops to No. 10 after falling to 6-A Johns Creek. There were not too many surprises in 4-A, both Baldwin and Flowery Branch fell to 7-A opponents on Friday, but did not drop far in the poll. The Riverdale Raiders are in this week at No. 10 for the first time this season. Meanwhile in Class 3-A there were no changes in the rankings.
Class 2-A saw Northeast fall to Dougherty while Fitzgerald beat Dodge in a battle of top-10 teams. The loss dropped Northeast to No. 8. The Lovett Lions find themselves in at No. 9 this week. Meanwhile, the top seven spots in Class A-Public remained unchanged this week. Dublin is up a spot to No. 8 while Washington-Wilkes and Montgomery County round out the top-10 at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively. Finally, in Class-A Private, Prince Avenue Christian flexed their muscle in a big win over Holy Innocents, while Aquinas quieted first Presbyterian to make their debut at No. 9 this week.
