Brookwood’s 13-game winning streak came to an end last week, but the Broncos held on to the No. 1 spot in this week’s Class 7A rankings by the narrowest of margins over No. 2 North Forsyth and No. 3 Grayson.
Brookwood’s streak ended with a 64-61 overtime loss against Grayson, which avenged a six-point loss to the Broncos six days earlier to earn a split in their regular-season series.
So for now, the top three teams remained the same, based primarily on schedule strength and results against common opponents. It could all change in next week’s rankings, however, as Brookwood and Grayson are likely to meet again Friday in the Region 4-7A championship game.
North Forsyth, which is undefeated against Georgia teams this season, will play in the Region 6-7A tournament Tuesday and Wednesday.
Six new teams moved into the top 10s. McIntosh and Eagle’s Landing replaced Northside-Columbus and Cass in Class 5A; Pierce County and East Forsyth replaced Oconee County and Ringgold in 3A; Thomasville replaced Washington County in 2A; and Savannah Country Day replaced Calvary Day in A Private.
East Forsyth, a first-year school in Gainesville, will face top-ranked Lumpkin County in the Region 7-3A championship game Tuesday.
