Through the first six weeks of the girls’ soccer season, a hierarchy has formed at the top of most classifications, with the top contenders making a name for themselves.
6A may be the most wide-open classification, with two teams, West Forsyth and Buford, pulling away slightly, but tier two continues to expand, now including Harrison, Walton, Lambert, and Brookwood. The rankings see one new addition in Hillgrove, which replaces North Atlanta.
5A has the most clear No. 1 of any classification this season. Roswell may be the top team in the state, going 12-0 up to this point. However, the second tier is five deep, with Lassiter, Northgate, Pope, McIntosh, and Greenbrier, all of whom can give Roswell a challenge.
No team in 4A has distinguished itself up to this point in the season. As of now, any team in the top 10 can make it to the state title, and even a few teams outside of the rankings could make a run. This week, Midtown returns to the rankings after six straight wins, replacing Westminster, which has now lost four straight.
In 3A, there were no new teams, but the top of the rankings saw a good bit of movement. The top six of 3A have distinguished themselves. Jefferson takes over as No. 1 after beating Dawson County and Oconee County, who are now No. 2 and No. 6, respectively. Lumpkin moved up to No. 3, Harlem to No. 4, and Sandy Creek continued its rise to No. 5.
In 2A, Columbus, Pike County, and Morgan County are unquestionably the top three teams in the class. Outside of those three, Rutland and Johnson-Augusta dropped out and were replaced by East Jackson at No. 8 and KIPP Atlanta at No. 10.
Class A-DI has an easy top two in Social Circle and Model, who are a combined 19-1. This week saw two teams exit the rankings: Toombs County, which lost three straight, and Woodville-Tompkins. They were replaced by Lamar County and Swainsboro at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.
Class A-DII has been more competitive than Class A, with a top tier of six teams leading the rankings. The class has a new No. 1, with Trion moving to the top spot after Towns County lost to Lake Oconee Academy.
The new private classification has a definite top two in Savannah Arts and Greater Atlanta Christian. One team made its first appearance in the rankings is Hebron Christian, which debuted at No. 10.
