Just when we thought we had a good idea about the balance of power in each classification, we get a wake up call on Friday night. This past weekend in high school football was no different. Our Top-10 Georgia High School Football Poll reflects some of those results this week.
The Brookwood Broncos crack our Top-10 for the first time this season after their impressive win at Marietta on the road. Grayson dropped a couple of spots after their loss to Mill Creek. Meanwhile, Collins Hill seems to be the only sure thing this season as the Eagles remain atop Class 7A after recording their third straight shutout. Class 6A was turned upside down with losses by Lee County and Carrollton. The Buford Wolves are back at No. 1 while Carrollton falls to No. 10 and Rome is back in this week at No. 8.
Class 5A also saw their top team, the Ware County Gators, fall to Class 4A Benedictine. That paved the way for Warner Robins to claim the top spot as they beat Lee County, who was at the time the No. 1 team in Class 6A. Meanwhile in Class 4A, Flowery Branch and Cedartown fell a couple of spots to No. 7 and No 8. respectively after their losses last week.
Class 3A remained unchanged as all of the Top-10 teams that played won their matchups this week. Over in Class 2A, Rabun County and Callaway flip-flop again at the top spot. Callaway fell to Class 4A Thomas County Central, that drops them one spot to No. 2 this week. The South Atlanta Hornets makes their first appearance in the top-10 this season as they moved to 3-1 after their win over Pace Academy on Friday.
In Class A-Public, things remained relatively unchanged this week. Of note, the Charlton County Indians are in the Top-10 for the first time this season as they run their record to 5-0 after an overtime win over rival Clinch County. Class A-Private also got a bit of a shakeup as Athens Academy is back in the Top-10 after a 5 week hiatus while Tattnall Square cracks into the poll after a big win over previously ranked Aquinas.
