Week 9 Football Rankings

In Class 6A, there were no changes this week as all of the ranked teams scored victories and No. 6 North Gwinnett was the only team off on a bye. Nothing changed in the Class 5A rankings, as most teams were off last week. The one team to lose was Milton, which lost a close game, 28-16, to Gainesville.

Creekside moved up to No. 1 in Class 4A and North Oconee slid to No. 2 after its 14-13 win over Eastside. For the second week in a row, 3A stayed the same. However, change is on the horizon with big games between Troup and LaGrange, and Troup and Sandy Creek in the next three weeks!

In Class 2A, there were no changes after No. 1 Carver-Columbus held on to defeat No. 7 Sumter County 8-7. In Class A Division-I, Thomasville’s and Rabun County’s losses caused chaos in the rankings. Thomasville fell from No. 2 to No. 9 after losing to Fitzgerald, while Rabun County fell from No. 3 to No. 10 after one of the biggest upsets of the season, losing to Oglethorpe County.

Class A Division-II saw only one change, with Brooks County returning to the rankings after battling with No. 2 Clinch County, only losing by six points.

The Class A-3A Private poll saw Athens Academy replace Aquinas in the poll after its 21-14 loss to Harlem and that resulted in Greater Atlanta Christian, Lovett and Whitefield Academy each sliding up one slot ahead of newly-ranked Athens Academy at No. 10.
