Buford and Norcross came in at No. 8 and No. 9 this week and bumped Hillgrove and North Gwinnett out of the poll.

River Ridge and Sequoyah replaced Chattahoochee and Northgate in this week’s poll.
In Class 4A, Union Grove used an 8-0 start to crash the polls at No. 3 and Allatoona made its debut at No. 7 after the exit of Starr’s Mill and Dalton from the top 10. The Class 3A rankings shifted with Jefferson taking over No. 1 after a 10-0 start from No. 2 and Sandy Creek falling to No. 2 this week after its 7-3 start that includes losses to Carrollton, Wesleyan and Morgan County. Class 2A introduced Ringgold into the rankings at No. 4 after Sonoraville’s 4-5 start sent the Phoenix out of the poll. In Class A, Armuchee moved up two spots to No. 5 after a strong 7-1 start and Mt. Paran fell to No. 5 after losses to East Coweta and Holy Innocents’ to produce a 2-2 overall start.
