There were a few changes between the two boys polls, including Chattahoochee returning to the AAAAAA rankings at No. 10, replacing North Paulding. In A-AAAAA, Starr's Mill burst into the rankings at No. 6. The Panthers have a shiny record, however, they've only played one ranked opponent - No. 4 Lovett in late February - and lost 15-3. They have four games remaining, with their only ranked opponent being McIntosh on April 22.
Can North Gwinnett run the tables on the regular season? The Bulldogs will come off a 10-day layoff to play St. Pius X on April 12, but their only remaining ranked opponent is A-AAAAA's No. 2 Allatoona, which doesn't come until April 18. They have four games remaining. The state's other undefeated team - Lambert - has six games remaining, including against No. 9 Walton on April 19.

There was only a minor change to one poll, which came in A-AAAAA. St. Pius debuts at No. 9, with Creekview moving up a spot to No. 8. St. Pius replaced Creekview.
Mill Creek is the lone ranked team that's still undefeated. The Lady Hawks have five games remaining, all against opponents with winning records. However, none of those opponents are ranked.
