AAA wrap: Calhoun's Riley finds a way ... again

Three scores for Hardman: It wasn't quite as dramatic, but No. 4 Elbert County's 34-30 win over Stephens County was equally impressive for the people who packed the Granite Bowl. The Blue Devils were led by big-time recruit Mecole Hardman, as the quarterback rushed 15 times for 139 yards and scored three touchdowns and one two-point conversion.

Allen to Maldonado proves big : No. 7 Hart County had more trouble than expected in its 38-25 win over pesky Franklin County. The Bulldogs (2-0) were sparked by the passing connection of quarterback Robert Allen Jr. to Zach Maldonado. They hooked up three times for touchdowns of 58, 55 and 43 yards.

Jefferson, Wood roll again: Sophomore tailback Colby Wood had another big night for No. 5 Jefferson in a 35-0 win over North Hall. He rushed 13 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns, increasing his yardage total to 636 yards.

Peach rebounds with win: No. 9 Peach County enjoyed a good bounce-back week after an ugly loss to Warner Robins. The Trojans outslugged rival Perry 13-6, with the defense coming up with two big stops in the four quarter.

Ugly loss for Washington County : No. 10 Washington County fumbled six times in a 38-14 loss to Mary Persons and has started the season 0-2 for the first time since 2007. Quarterback Houston Channell completed 13 of 28 passes for 211 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown to Markevese Latimer.  The Golden Hawks are likely to fall out of the rankings with the loss.

Who's coming in? With WACO and No. 8 Pierce County (a 41-40 loser to Bacon County) likely to leave the rankings, who are the most likely candidates to be included. Best bets are: Westside Macon (2-0), which crunched Harris County, 30-10; Central Carroll (2-0), which defeated BEST Academy, 33-12; Adairsville (2-0), which had the week off prior to its game with Ringgold; and West Hall (2-0), which clobbered Chestatee, 42-3.
