Westlake remains No. 1, but Collins Hill shoots up to No. 2 after other top-five teams suffered setbacks. North Forsyth moves up to No. 3 after a strong December so far and a great showing in Arizona at the Nike Tournament of Champions.
Winder-Barrow gets knocked from its perch as No. 1 after suffering a loss to a red-hot Lanier squad, which moves up to No. 4. Harrison moves into first.
The defending-champion Lady Wolves lead in AAAAA and it looks as if Gene Durden’s squad is poised for yet another deep playoff run. Buford took titles in 2015 and three-in-a-row from 2009-11. Dutchtown, following a loss to Class AAA’s Lovett on Nov. 21, have reeled off nine wins to take the No. 2 spot.
Carver-Columbus and Harris County are the teams to beat in Class AAAA. On Dec. 19, top-ranked Carver defeated cross town rival Columbus 69-39 to protect its No. 1 spot. Second-ranked Henry County is preparing for a Dec. 28 game against Decatur in the Chuck Miller Classic. Following a loss, previous No. 6 Jefferson fell to No. 9. West Hall fell out of the rankings and was replaced at the No. 10 spot by Americus-Sumter.
In Class AAA, No. 1 Beach has been controlling Savannah and defeated crosstown rival and fourth-ranked Johnson-Savannah, 53-42. No. 2 GAC defeated East Hall, Mountain View on Dec. 15 and 16 and is awaiting Charles Henderson, AL in a tournament in Naples, Fla. No.
Class AA top-ranked Laney remained perfect on the season following an 89-30 victory over Hephzibah on Dec. 21. New No. 2 Putnam County defeated old No. 2 Rabun County, sending Rabun falling to No. 4. Swainsboro remains perfect on the year following a 60-41 victory over Cambridge on Dec. 21.
Previous No. 1 Pelham slid to third following its loss to, at the time, No. 9 Terrell County, 61-60. Terrell County moved up to No. 2 this week and Pelham settled to third.
The Holy Innocents’ Lady Golden Bears are again in control of Class A-Private this week following a victory against Lebanon, TN at the She Got Game Classic. Wesleyan protected its No. 2 ranking after a victory over Fayette County. Our Lady of Mercy moved from sixth to fourth and Landmark settled at seventh.
