Six of the eight No. 1-ranked teams won their openers last week, and Grayson (AAAAAAA) and Hapeville (AA) are set to kick off this week. In 2017, all eight No. 1 teams won their openers.

And which team was the opponent, which has since been banned from playing GHSA teams as a result of that meeting? (Answer Wednesday)

Answer to Monday's question: The three schools with active regular-season winning streaks of 20 games or more are Cartersville (39), Stockbridge (35) and Benedictine (34).
