Class A Blog: New power ratings; Financial literacy session for high school athletes
Here are the latest Georgia High School Association/MaxPreps basketball power ratings. The first number in parenthesis is the team's power rating last week, the second is its ranking in this week's Atlanta Journal Constitution Top 10 poll.
As was the case last week, all four of the top teams from last week's ratings remain intact. Teams making big moves were the Charlton County girls, up to No. 5 from No. 10, the Hawkinsville boys, up to No. 10 from No. 14, and the Georgia Military College boys, up to No. 12 from No. 16. On the slide were the Wilkinson County girls, down to No. 15 from No. 6, and the Lanier County boys, from No. 11 to No. 16 this week.
Dropping out of the top 16 this week are the Greenville, Montgomery County and Athens Academy boys and the Schley County, Terrell County and Atlanta International girls.
