In Class 7A, No. 1 ranked Buford improved to 3-0 with a thrilling 21-14 victory over North Cobb. As a result, North Cobb fell just one spot to No. 5 and Colquitt County ascended to No. 4 this week after a 41-13 victory over Tift County that improved the Packers’ record to 3-0. Carrollton also leapt in the poll from No. 7 to No. 6 after its 23-6 victory over Rome. The Trojans are 2-0 and are one of three ranked programs in this week’s Class 7A poll that are new to the classification, joining Buford and Kennesaw Mountain, which debuts this week at No. 10 following a thrilling 37-36 win over North Paulding that improved the Mustangs record to 3-0. The Mustangs replaced Westlake following the Lions’ 30-20 loss to Cedar Grove and then Parkview replaced Brookwood at No. 8, despite being off this week. Parkview is 2-0 with wins over Johns Creek (52-7) and Shiloh (20-8) and will face North Gwinnett this Friday. Brookwood dropped out of the poll following a 14-13 loss to No. 9 Collins Hill that resulted a 1-2 start for the Broncos.
Class 6A No. 1 ranked Hughes picked up a 62-12 win over Mays this Friday and improved to 3-0 on the season. The Panthers are currently outscoring opponents 156-49 with a 52 ppg average offensively. No. 2 Lee County scored a 41-7 win over Lithia Springs to move to 3-0. Rome fell two spots to No. 5 after its loss to Carrollton and that shifted Roswell up to No. 3 and Gainesville up to No. 4. Roswell is 3-0 after its comeback 24-20 win over Marietta and Gainesville is 3-0 under first-year head coach Josh Niblett (formerly head coach of Hoover, AL) and scored a 23-13 win over Monroe Area Friday night. Blessed Trinity improved to No. 6 over Woodward Academy, which dropped to No. 7. Both teams were off on a bye, but Blessed Trinity’s 2-0 start and 36-25 win over Calhoun trumps Woodward Academy’s 1-1 start. South Paulding moved up one spot to No. 8, despite being off on a bye this past week and is 1-1 with a 28-20 win over Harrison and a 28-21 loss to Carrollton. Douglas County dropped out of the poll and was replaced by Thomas County Central, which improved to 3-0 and picked up a solid 35-14 win over Bainbridge.
Cartersville rallied back from a 21-0 deficit to top Allatoona 28-21 and maintains its spot at No. 1 in Class 5A. Ware County scored a 41-3 win over Bainbridge and improved to No. 2 ahead of Warner Robins, which topped rival Northside-Warner Robins 17-10 in overtime. Dutchtown moved up from No. 9 all the way to No. 4 after its 43-8 win over Jonesboro that improved the Bullodgs’ record to 3-0 and Kell moved up from No. 7 to No. 5 with its latest 56-14 win over Pope that improved its record to 3-0 under first-year head coach Bobby May. Jones County plunged from No. 3 to No. 10 after a 42-14 loss to Perry.
In Class 4A, Whitewater replaced Bainbridge at No. 5 and the Bearcats dropped to No. 9 following its loss to Thomas County Central. Starr’s Mill moved up from No. 7 to No. 6, Perry jumped from No. 9 to No. 7 and LaGrange remains No. 10.
In Class 3A, things did not shift after the top 10 performed as it should in Week 3. Cedar Grove is still at the top ahead of Carver-Atlanta, Carver-Columbus, Sandy Creek and Calvary Day.
South Atlanta made a big climb in Class 2A after beating Gray Collegiate 48-35. The Hornets jumped up from No. 6 to No. 2 this week. Pierce County, ELCA and Rockmart round out the Class 2A top 5. In Class A Division I, Rabun County took over the top spot after former No. 1 Brooks County fell to No. 7 after a 32-28 loss to an unranked 2A Cook team, which entered the Class 2A poll at No. 7 this week. Prince Avenue Christian, Swainsboro, Bleckley County and Irwin County round out the top 5.
In Class A Division II, Early County went from unranked to No. 1 after it beat former No. 1 Schley County 19-17 at home. The Bobcats are 3-0 after victories over Miller County (52-14), Seminole County (27-0) and Schley, which fell to No. 5 after the loss.
