Five top-10 teams in the highest classification lost Friday night in a high school football weekend accentuated by Warner Robins’ victory over Lee County in a rare game between No. 1-ranked teams.
Two were inevitable in Class 7A as No. 1 Collins Hill beat No. 10 East Coweta 34-0 and No. 2 Mill Creek beat No. 8 Grayson 28-14. Collins Hill and Mill Creek lost to those opponents in 2020.
More surprising in 7A on Friday were Brookwood’s 31-26 victory over No. 7 Marietta, Houston County’s 20-13 victory over No. 9 Newton and Walton’s 24-13 victory over No. 6 Roswell.
The defending champion in Class 5A, Warner Robins beat Class 6A’s top-rated team 56-30 at McConnell-Talbert Stadium in Warner Robins.
Warner Robins has won five straight games against No. 1 teams. Other victims are Blessed Trinity, Ware County and Valdosta (by forfeit) in 2020 and Rome in 2018.
