DeSha Benjamin has filled the shoes of Aliyah Collier flawlessly, averaging 22.5 points per game as a sophomore. Former No. 2 Decatur has fallen out of the rankings after a 0-2 start.

In Class A-Private, No. 5 SWAC has dropped three spots after a 0-3 start, but all three losses have been to red hot teams in Morgan County, Griffin and Americus-Sumter. After a 31-0 perfect season in Class A-Public a year ago, No. 1 Taylor County suffered a rare defeat to open the season, 56-50 to Warner Robins.
