Girls — Best of Gwinnett
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As of today, here are my top 5 Gwinnett girls basketball teams. Agree or disagree?
Collins Hill (19-0), Class AAAAA: Tops in the nation, Eagles must be No. 1 in Gwinnett.
South Gwinnett (16-2), AAAAA: Comets have won 16 straight, including victories over Mill Creek, GAC and Berkmar.
Mill Creek (17-3), AAAAA: Hawks could have, probably should have, beaten Collins Hill 2 1/2 weeks ago.
Greater Atlanta Christian (17-1), Class AA: Spartans’ only blemish is a tight loss to South Gwinnett.
Wesleyan (15-4), AA: Wolves get nod over Berkmar (16-2) because of championship pedigree. Also, Berkmar got blown out by South Gwinnett on Saturday.

GSWA Basketball Poll: Jan. 22
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Decatur left little doubt last week that it was one of the top teams in Class AA with its win over then-No. 2 Buford. The Bulldogs have won eight straight heading into tonight’s home matchup with Wesleyan. Speaking of Wesleyan, very few thought the Wolves would be challenging for a top spot without talented junior Howard Thompkins, who decided to attend Oak Hill Academy this school year. Don’t look now, but Griffin appears to ready to retake its place in the Top 10 rankings with all its pieces finally coming together.
Who’s hot, who’s not - you tell us. Submit your comments below.
