Milton, Prince Avenue Christian and Bowdon were all holding trophies at the end of the 2023 season. Each one will begin this year wearing a No. 1 target.
Prince Avenue Christian had its 20-game winning streak snapped, but it wasn't enough to knock the Wolverines out of the No. 1 spot in Class A Division I.
The new No. 1 team in Class 5A is Cartersville, a program that’s familiar with the pressure that comes with being the target for the rest of the state.
Cedar Grove remains No. 1 in Class 3A, despite its out-of-state loss. That only heightens the expectations for this week's Football Fridays in Georgia opener against Westlake.
The state’s top-ranked teams held their positions going into the final week of the regular season, with only a few new faces creeping into the GPB Rankings.
