Week- 4 of the GHSA football season is in the books. Many games across the state were either postponed or cancelled due to Mother Nature. Yet in spite of the inclement weather, there was some great action across the state as always and several games that might have raised some eyebrows.
In perhaps the biggest show down of the night in 7A, it was the Grayson Rams who defeated the No. 1 ranked Marietta Blue Devils 28-14. The win, coupled with a Colquitt County loss to Valdosta has reshuffled our top 10. Grayson is our new No. 1 team. Followed by Lowndes and then McEachern.
In 6A, Stephenson and Richmond Hill drop from the rankings after losses this weekend. Houston County got a big win over 3-A Peach County. The Bears come in at No. 9 this week while Douglas County makes their debut at No. 10. Over in the 5A poll, Starr’s Mill dropped from the rankings after losing to Chapel Hill. Kell drops to No. 10 after falling just short to Rome on Friday night. Wayne County makes their debut in our poll this week at No. 9.
The 4A poll remains unchanged this week. Meanwhile, there was some shuffling in the 3A poll as Peach County was upset by Houston County as we mentioned earlier. The Peach County loss, coupled with Cedar Grove’s loss to 7A McEachern has Pierce County as our new No. 1 team this week. While there was reshuffling up top, the rankings remain unchanged with the bottom 5 teams.
There were no changes made to the 2A poll. But the Hephzibah Rebels got a big win over Screven County and perhaps validated their Top-10 ranking.
In Class A-Public, the Top-5 remained unchanged, but Wilcox County and Trion make their debut at No. 8 and No. 9 respectively. Mt. Zion Carroll drops to No. 10 after falling to 2-A Temple, while Manchester and Schley drop from the poll after losses this weekend. In Class A Private, the Top 10 remained unchanged from last week.
Polls are fun and can provide for spirited and healthy conversations and debates. We welcome any and all poll feedback.
