In Class 7A, Grayson earned the No. 2 spot and replaced Wheeler after an enormous 71-44 win over Archer. The Tigers were ranked No. 6 at the time of the loss and have fallen two spots to No. 8 in the latest poll. The result of these shifts were Pebblebrook climbing a spot to No. 6 and Milton moving up to No. 7. Wheeler is yet to fall to an instate team, but the three losses in its last four outings and a narrow 58-54 win over North Cobb to open Region 5 play this week gave Grayson the hot and in the poll.
In Class 6A, Marist moved up to No. 4 with its 49-48 win over St. Pius and the Golden Lions dropped two spots to No. 6 after the defeat—giving Etowah rights to the No. 5 slot in this week’s poll. Eagle’s Landing (18-0) replaced Kell (14-2) at No. 1 in the Class 5A poll and Lithonia replaced Northside-Columbus at No. 10.
Bainbridge improved to No. 4 in the Class 4A poll and Madison County climbed a spot to No. 5 ahead of No. 6 North Oconee. Additionally, Miller Grove returned to the poll at No. 10. Class 3A saw Monroe Area move up to No. 5 and Calvary Day slide a spot to No. 6 and White County replaced Oconee County at No. 9. The Class 2A poll didn’t shift and Mt. Vernon ascended to No. 1 in Class A Division I and Paideia returned to the poll at No. 10. Finally, Telfiar County replaced Chattahoochee County at No. 10 in Class A Division II.
