The Class 7A poll did not shift this week as the top 10 held strong. No. 1 Mill Creek scored a 58-7 win over a previously unbeaten Central Gwinnett team to improve to 6-0 and Buford picked up its 17th-straight win in a 23-3 victory over Collins Hill in the Wolves’ Region 8 opener. No. 3 Colquitt County, No. 4 Carrollton and No. 5 Valdosta were all off on their bye this week and No. 6 Walton scored a 51-49 win over No. 10 North Paulding. No. 6 Parkview bounced back from its loss to No. 1 Mill Creek and improved to 5-1 with a 41-7 win over South Gwinnett and No. 8 Kennesaw Mountain was off on its bye along with No. 9 ranked Lowndes. North Paulding’s two losses this season were a one-point loss to No. 8 Kennesaw Mountain and Thursday’s two-point loss to Walton and the Wolfpack remain in the poll.
In Class 6A, Hughes improved to 6-0 with a 40-7 win over Alexander on Friday and No. 2 Lee County made a statement with its 50-21 win over Houston County on Thursday. Houston County’s loss dropped the Bears from No. 6 to No. 9. No. 3 Gainesville improved to 6-0 with a 42-14 win over Lanier and Rome scored a 70-0 win over Woodstock to improve to 5-1. Rome’s only loss came to Class 7A No. 4 Carrollton 23-6 back on Sept. 2. No. 5 Thomas County Central picked up a 48-21 win over Veterans and Roswell moved up from No. 8 to No. 6 after its impressive 41-10 win over Blessed Trinity. Blessed Trinity fell to 4-2 and remains No. 10 because of its win over Calhoun earlier this season.
Calhoun survived a 50-48 triple overtime victory over Cartersville that dropped the Hurricanes to No. 5. Dutchtown moved up to No. 1, Ware County moved up to No. 2 and Kell improved to No. 3 ahead of No. 4 Coffee. Calhoun’s win resulted in a leap from No. 8 to No. 6 and Creekside settled in at No. 8 after the shuffling and its narrow 22-21 win over Mays. Loganville remains No. 7 after its 13-10 win over Eastside and No. 9 Jefferson rounds out the poll with No. 10 Jones County.
In Class 4A, No. 1 ranked North Oconee improved to 5-0 with a 70-7 win over North Hall and No. 2 Cedartown defeated Central-Carroll 39-7 to remain undefeated at 6-0. Troup moved up a spot to No. 3 after its impressive 6-0 start and 63-0 win over North Clayton, Perry picked up its fifth-straight win in a 39-7 triumph over Westside-Macon and jumped a spot to No. 4 ahead of No. 5 Benedictine. No. 6 Whitewater is 5-1 with its only loss coming to No. 3 Troup 43-44. Burke County remains No. 7, Bainbridge returns at No. 8. Trinity Christian is back in the poll at No. 9 after a 3-0 win over previously No. 9 ranked Starr’s Mill and LaGrange maintains its position at No. 10 after a 28-14 win over Riverdale.
Cedar Grove defeated DC’s St. John’s 35-13 and remains atop Class 3A and will return to enter region play this week. Carver-Atlanta, Calvary Day, Sandy Creek and Dougherty fill the top 5. Former No. 5 Oconee County lost to Hebron Christian and fell to No. 8. Hebron entered the poll at No. 7. Fitzgerald, Pierce County, South Atlanta, Cook and Thomson fill the Class 2A top 5.
In Class A Division I, Prince Avenue Christian leads the way with Rabun County, Swainsboro, Bleckley County and Irwin County in the top 5. Early County tops Class A Division II and leads Johnson County, Clinch County, Bowdon and Washington-Wilkes.
