The Tucker Tigers had a slow climb back into the top 5 after a blowout loss to Marist, but again look to be one of the contenders in Class 4A with a win over Southwest DeKalb. Peachtree Ridge came up with a big win at Norcross, but ran into a wall as far as the Class 5A rankings are concerned. Also, Carver-Columbus got a nice little rankings boost after a convincing 24-0 win at LaGrange.
