Pelham beat a ranked opponent last week (Macon County) for the first time since 2001, breaking a 29-game losing streak against the top 10. That kind of futility against ranked teams is not unusual. There are 96 Georgia teams - nearly a quarter - that haven't beaten a ranked team this century. The most oppressed is Lakeside (Atlanta), which is 0-36 against the top 10.
