The Mooneyham Poll is loving the cool temperatures; GHSA football, 4A rankings…

4A…A lot of movement this week: Thomson and Bainbridge are in, Sandy Creek moves up, while Burke County and Jonesboro are out…

  1. Cartersville 3-0 (Defeated North Paulding 45-7) Trevor Lawrence, as a sophomore, is one of the five best quarterbacks in the state.
  2. Woodward Academy 3-0 (Defeated Lovett 37-7) Elijah Holyfield does it again: 18 carries/ 173 yards/ two touchdowns.
  3. Buford 2-1 (Idle)
  4. Mary Persons 3-0 (Defeated Lamar County 20-7) I must admit, I expected a larger margin of victory.
  5. Marist 2-1 (Defeated Arabia Mountain 41-14) One thing Arabia Mountain can do is be physical; yet, Marist ran for over 300 yards.
  6. Sandy Creek 3-1 (Defeated Newnan 34-0) Ha! So two major polls across the state do not have SC in their top ten?
  7. Thomson 3-0 (Defeated Hart County 49-14) Not saying their back, but they are better than in recent years.
  8. West Laurens 3-1 (Lost to Westside, Macon 27-24) No shame in losing to a Top Ten, potential region champion, and certain playoff team.
  9. St Pius 1-2 (Defeated Lithonia 42-12) We had HC Paul Standard on the broadcast Friday night. He likes the direction this team is headed.
  10. Bainbridge 3-0 (Defeated Monroe 34-7) Finally, after weeks of other outlets including them in the rankings, the Bearcats enter The MP.

HM: Burke County 3-1, Eastside-Covington 3-0, Eagles Landing 3-0, Jonesboro 3-1
