Pebblebrook is the new No. 1 boys basketball team in Class 7A after defeating three ranked teams last week, including previous No. 1 Newton.
Pebblebrook beat No. 10 East Coweta 71-65, No. 5 McEachern 85-74 and No. 2 Newton 80-59.
In the victory over Newton, coming Saturday at the Hardwood Classic at Mays High, Rider signee Kami Young scored 25 points, and Jaiun Simon had 20 points and 12 rebounds.
Newton, which had not lost to a Georgia team this season, played without Stephon Castle and Jakai Newton, two of its three major Division I prospects. The third, Qua Brown, scored 17 points.
