Defending Class 7A champion Mill Creek is No. 1 for the first time this season after beating previous No. 1 Buford 31-24 Friday.
Mill Creek has been ranked No. 1 once previously. That was after winning the 7A state championship last year. The Hawks’ only 2022 loss came against Buford, which started No. 1 this season because of its wealth of high-end talent that includes five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola, who is committed to Georgia.
Mill Creek’s Cam Robinson rushed for 115 yards, and Shane Throgmartin passed for 206 and two touchdowns, one with 1:20 left for the game-winner.
Only one team entered the rankings this week. Norcross, which is 6-1, suffered its only loss against Mill Creek in August.
Parkview, which lost to unranked Archer 28-27, dropped out of the rankings.
It was a lighter week of games than usual as 25 of the 80 top-10 teams did not play last week. There are three weeks remaining in the regular season.
