GHSF Daily previews 10 of the most intriguing games each week throughout the season. The Week 6 lineup includes Class 3A No. 1 Cedar Grove continuing its journey through the best of Class 7A, three games that will go a long way toward deciding region championships, and Houston County looking to make its mark against county rival Warner Robins.

It’s been a great season so far for most of the AJC’s preseason Super 11 selections. Two play on No. 1-ranked teams, and five others play for unbeaten teams. As is always the case, some have struggled. Two play for teams that are surprisingly sub-.500 while another is injured, hoping to return by the playoffs. The recruiting status of each has not changed, with 10 remaining committed and one undecided.

East Coweta’s Brady Tillman accounted for six touchdowns in a 49-34 victory over Lowndes, and South Paulding’s Jamarion Wilcox rushes for 324 yards against East Paulding. Meanwhile, Buford’s Eddrick Houston, Mill Creek’s Josh Anglin and Walton’s Ayden Jackson create a little chaos on defense. They were among the standouts in Week 5 of the season.

All eight No. 1 teams in the Georgia high school football rankings remained the same for the first time this season after the fifth week produced few major surprises. Cedar Grove retained its position at the top of Class 3A after a 52-36 loss to No. 4 Mill Creek of Class 7A. Cedar Grove, the defending champion in 3A, had beaten Westlake and Collins Hill of 7A the previous two weeks and takes on No. 3 Colquitt County this week to finish one the most ambitious Georgia road trips ever for a smaller school. Buford, Hughes, Cartersville, Prince Avenue Christian and Early County, all ranked No. 1, each won their games comfortably Friday. Cedartown and Fitzgerald were off.

Tate Morris of McIntosh and Brady Kluse of Harrison have taken the lead in passing and receiving yards, respectively, while Gavin Hall of Hebron Christian continues to lead in rushing. Morris, a first-year starter, threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns last week, giving him 1,274 yards for the season. Kluse had 211 receiving yards last week to give him 558 for the year.

GHSF Daily previews 10 of the most intriguing games each week throughout the season. The Week 5 lineup includes two games matching unbeaten and ranked teams in Region 4-4A, two Class 3A teams taking on two of Gwinnett County’s best, and a Class 2A game that will go a long way toward deciding a region championship.

The Maxwell Ratings have ranked Georgia’s 466 11-man football teams by county. The teams include those from the Georgia High School Association, the Georgia Independent Athletic Association and the Georgia Association of Private and Parochial Schools. The list provides a different way of looking at the state’s teams.

Dublin’s Demari Foster and West Forsyth’s Peyton Strecko run for more than 300 yards and Central Gwinnett’s Jason Jackson goes for 271, while Peach County’s Jayden Parker intercepts three passes and returns one for a touchdown. They were among the standouts in Week 4 of the season.

Cedartown and Early County are ranked No. 1 in the AJC’s high school football poll for the first time in more than 25 years. Cedartown (4-0) climbed on top of Class 4A after a 21-7 victory over previous No. 4 Calhoun of Class 5A and is No. 1 for the first time since 1995. Benedictine, the previous No. 1 team and 4A’s defending champion, fell to No. 7 after losing 14-10 to Ware County, the No. 2 team in 5A. Early County (4-0) is No. 1 in the new Class A Division II. The Bobcats beat Terrell County 21-14 last week. Early County was most recently No. 1 in 1994. Previous No. 1 Clinch County (3-1) fell to No. 2 after losing 43-13 to No. 6 Cook of Class 2A.

Gavin Hall of Hebron Christian, Sire Hardaway of Douglas County and Jaden Gibson of Rabun County are the GHSA’s leaders in rushing, passing and receiving through three weeks. Hall, a junior quarterback, has rushed for 310, 110 and 360 yards in Hebron’s three games, all victories. Hardaway, also a junior quarterback, is the first passer with more than 1,000 yards. The GHSA’s leading receiver is Gibson, who has 493 yards through three games.
