In Class 7A, Cherokee moved up to No. 1 with its 17-5 overall record and 8-1 Region 5 record that has the Warriors currently at the top of the standings. Etowah moved down to No. 2, and Parkview climbed from No. 9 to No. 3 after extending its win streak to 10 straight. Denmark sits at No. 4 after sweeping No. 8 South Forsyth, and Walton and Mill Creek replaced Lambert and North Cobb.
Undefeated Buford (20-0) remains No. 1 in Class 6A, and Houston County replaced Allatoona at No. 2 after the Bucs’ first loss of the season. Allatoona’s loss was a 5-1 defeat to Pope – which it previously defeated this season – and Pope comes in at No. 4 as a result. Evans and Lassiter also replaced Valdosta and Kell in the poll and debuted at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.
In Class 5A, Cartersville moved up from No. 4 to No. 1, and No. 2 Blessed Trinity dropped to No. 8. Loganville, Woodward Academy, North Springs and Coffee round out the new top 5, and Calhoun sits at No. 6 after leaping from No. 10 in last week’s poll.
In Class 4A, Cedartown jumped Troup for No. 5, and Perry replaced Jefferson and made its debut at No. 10. Jefferson recently lost two of three to No. 9 Flowery Branch. The Class 3A poll did not experience any shifts. Pierce County (17-1) rebounded from its 2-0 loss to No. 7 Long County last Tuesday with a 9-6 and 15-6 victory to win the series.
In Class 2A, Bremen was swept by No. 3 Callaway and was replaced in the poll by Vidalia, which is riding a seven-game win streak. The Class A Private poll is topped by Fellowship Christian (15-0), and Prince Avenue Christian moved up from No. 9 to No. 7 in this week’s poll. Additionally, King’s Ridge dropped out of the poll after dropping four straight games and was replaced at No. 10 by Mt. Pisgah after the Patriots took the series 2-1 last week. In Class A Public, undefeated Wilcox County (13-0) took over No. 1 and previously top-ranked Irwin County dropped to No. 3 after dropping two of three games to No. 2 Charlton County. Bryan County fell out of the poll after three straight losses, and Telfair County debuted at No. 10.
