The Purple Hurricanes beat Cedartown 52-8 in the latest of those games. Cartersville has scored at least seven touchdowns in every game.

Entering the season, only one team — Warner Robins in 2021 — had scored at least 48 points in its first six games.

This season, three teams began the season by scoring 48 or more in five straight games. Carrollton’s streak ended at five. Valdosta’s remains active at five, although the Wildcats did get an unplayed forfeit victory that is not counted.

Below are teams that have scored 48 points or more in the first four games. All except two have been achieved since 2005.
