Todd’s Top 50: Ranking Georgia’s hottest ‘right now’ football teams
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For decades, Valdosta was Georgia’s premier high school football program and for history’s sake, it still is. But what about right now?
Which Georgia football program is the most respected and most widely known?
Below, I’ve ranked them 1 through 50. My rankings are based mostly on three factors - name recognition, marquee value and statewide respect. I also have a Top 5 that I will give you later on the teams that will be most incensed that they were not included.
OK, to the Top 50:
1. Lowndes
2. Northside-Warner Robins
3. Buford
4. Lincoln Co.
5. Charlton Co.
6. Valdosta
7. Camden Co.
8. Parkview
9. Brookwood
10. Stephenson
11. Warner Robins
12. Marist
13. LaGrange
14. Thomas Co. Central
15. Peach Co.
