The GHSA on Tuesday added one week to the football regular season, meaning the playoffs will start Nov. 15-16, one week later. The decision was expected, as executive director Tim Scott told GHSF Daily on Monday that the GHSA was moving toward that solution.

The Georgia High School Association is considering postponing the football playoffs one week to accommodate schools that need to make up games because of Hurricane Helene, executive director Tim Scott said Monday morning. Scott said he hoped to have a decision by noon Tuesday.

Rankings have not been updated this week because of the more than 30 games that were postponed until Monday night. These rankings contain game summaries for the top-10 teams that did play last week. New rankings will be published Tuesday.

To find the state’s leading rusher, passer and receiver, search no further than northwest Georgia. Chattooga’s Zayden Cook (leading rusher with 1,328 yards) and Trion’s Kade Smith (leading passer with 1,409) are from the same county. About 30 miles closer to the Tennessee border is Heritage of Ringgold, where leading receiver Cody Bryan (701 yards) is having a standout season.

Week 7 games are on the move as Hurricane Helene forces changes to the schedule around the state. Among the games on the schedule are two big Region 1-6A openers, Camden County at Valdosta and Lowndes at Colquitt County. Region 2-5A kicks off league play with No. 3 Thomas County Central at No. 2 Lee County, and private-schools powers Blessed Trinity and Savannah Christian meet in a non-region game.

The AJC’s Super 11 players are having successful seasons where it counts most – their teams’ won-lost records. Seven are playing on undefeated teams. Only one, Schley County’s Zayden Walker, is playing for a team outside the top 10, and the Wildcats (3-3) remain favored to win their region.

Benedictine’s Chis “Bubba” Frazier, LaGrange’s Malachi Render-Fannin, Norcross’ Jahsaun Clarke and McEachern’s Zhay’Lyn Bell put up big numbers in their teams’ Week 6 victories, while Trion’s Logan Stokes made a difference on both sides of the ball in an overtime win against an out-of-state opponent.

Cambridge and Ola, both 5-0, entered the Class 4A football rankings for the first time this season after a week light on upsets overall. Cambridge and Ola were off last week but benefited from losses from No. 8 Perry (to East Coweta) and No. 9 Ware County (to Lincoln of Tallahassee, Fla.).

Morgan County’s Jaylen Elder has been one of Georgia’s fastest-rising recruits this month. He’s also moved to the top of GHSF Daily’s yardage leaderboard in receiving. Elder had five receptions for 191 yards and two touchdowns in a 41-19 victory over Cedar Shoals last week. He also scored on an 84-yard run.
