Our Class AAAAAAA Preseason No. 1 Colquitt County continued its dominance this weekend, defeating Tift County 45-7 and holding the Blue Devils to just one total yard of offense in the second half. Not only have the Packers had a firm grip on the top spot all season, but their 9-0 start has them cracking the top 10 in several national polls. Junior quarterback Jaycee Harden tossed two touchdown passes, and junior running back Daijun Edwards finished with 19 carries for 190 yards and four touchdowns. Hillgrove defeated Marietta 48-24 and sent Marietta down to No. 10.
Top-ranked Lee County beat Houston County last week to remain flawless on the season. No. 2 Creekview took out Sprayberry last week and will face No. 7 Harrison, a new-comer in the rankings, this week. No. 3 Tucker, No. 4 Allatoona and No. 5 Valdosta make up the top-5 this week.
The Class AAAAA top 10 remains the same as No. 1 Rome clinched its 37th straight win and closed out back-to-back perfect regular seasons with a 62-7 win over Villa Rica.
In Class AAAA, Blessed Trinity scored a 10-7 win over Marist to clinch the Region 7-AAAA title.
In Class AAA, Calhoun and Cedar Grove are again at the top of the classification with Monroe Area, Peach County and Westminster chasing. The polls did not change from last week.
Hapeville Charter leads Class AA again this week with Rockmart chasing. Hapeville beat Washington last week, Rockmart beat Gordon Central. Heard County’s victory over Lamar County kept it firmly locked at third. Callaway and Bremen round out the top-5.
Eagle’s Landing Christian beat Mount Vernon Presbyterian on Friday after being down early in the game. The Chargers lead Athens Academy again this week. Prince Avenue Christian held off No. 6 George Walton Academy last week to keep its place in the poll.
In Class A-Public, Commerce dropped to No. 9 after a 20-19 loss to Riverside Military.
