Meanwhile, Dutchtown drops 3 spots after their loss to Jones County while Bainbridge fell two spots to No. 8 after their loss to Veterans.
In 4A, Blessed Trinity blocked a 51-yard game winning field goal attempt by Denmark as time expired to edge their region foe. The win has the Titans back up to No. 5 while Denmark falls to No. 6. Cairo drops to No. 10 after a 6-point loss to Carver-Columbus. Carver Columbus makes their poll debut at No. 9 this week.
The Jefferson Dragons got a big region win over Hart County. The loss drops Hart County to No. 9, but otherwise there were no new teams into the poll this week. In Class AA, Vidalia downed Jeff Davis and comes in at No. 10 this week.
Lincoln County makes their debut in the poll this week at No. 10 in Class A Public; while Aquinas makes their debut at No. 10 in Class A Private.
