Fitzgerald cashed a 29-28 victory over Thomasville into the No. 1 ranking in Class 2A after 10 weeks of the regular season.
Fitzgerald (9-0) moved up from No. 2 after beating a Top 10 opponent for the fifth time this season. Fitzgerald also clinched Region 1-2A, which has sent at least one of its teams to the state semifinals each season since 2014.
Callaway, the previous No. 1, was idle last week and faces Haralson County on Monday. Haralson had been No. 4 and unbeaten but fell out of the rankings after losing to unranked Heard County 26-12
Dropping out of the 2A rankings were No. 7 Putnam County, No. 9 Bleckley County and No. 10 Cook, all after losing Friday.
Meanwhile, Fannin County jumped into the rankings for the first time since 1996 after beating Chattooga 37-7 Saturday.
The rankings saw little movement otherwise. Colquitt County moved up one spot to No. 2 in 7A after a 40-10 victory over Lowndes, which fell from No. 2 to No. 4. Milton entered the rankings at No. 10 after beating No. 5 Roswell 20-14 in a Region 5-7A game.
