AJC high school rankings: Valdosta wins game, loses ranking

Class AAAAA — Camden jumps Northside. ... Valdosta is out of the rankings despite winning. ... Over/under on Northside-Valdosta is 19.5 points. ... North Gwinnett and Norcross replaced Valdosta and North Cobb in the rankings. ... Also considered Stephenson. Almost considered East Paulding and Etowah. Class AAAA — Mays jumps four spots to No. 4. ... This class is hard to project. Too many unproven teams. The last team in my Top 5 to win state was Bainbridge in 1982. ... Congrats to Westside's Robert Davis on victory No. 346, which ties him w/ Dan Pitts for No. 2 in Georgia history. Class AAA — Carver stays put at No. 2 despite loss to Northside. ... It's No. 2 Carver vs. No. 3 Baldwin this week. I like Carver in that. ... The Grangers are back in the Top 10. ... Cartersville nipped Thomson for the No. 10 spot. Class AA — Thomasville becomes the first school in history to be ranked at 0-3. Nobody outside the Top 10 would've done better against Thomasville's gauntlet of higher-class opponents. ... Unlike AAAA, which is wide open, I feel pretty confident that the runner-up to Buford in AA will come from teams in the current Top 10. A — Miller County joins the Top 10. Considered Johnson County & Bowdon. Todd talks back: Holcomb mixes it up with you all week long. Catch his running commentary in Poll Talk Monday-Friday.
