Improvement Tracker: Cherokee Bluff, Chattooga, Lovett surge into lead after Week 4
GHSF Daily each week will rank the top five teams and their head coaches in each classification based on their improvement in the computer Maxwell Ratings from previous seasons, but with some exclusions. Only teams with winning records will be listed. In the end, each team and coach must also make the playoffs and improve playoff seeding or state playoff finish from the previous year to qualify. The objective is to recognize not only improvement but also the challenge of making a struggling program relevant on the state level or taking a good program to the next level. After the season, GHSF Daily will present an award, sponsored by Siemens, to the nine coaches who lead their classifications. The recognition will take place in February at the GACA Falcons Luncheon in Macon.
