Fannin County, a state runner-up last season and seeking its first state championship since 1999, is the new No. 1 team this week in the Class 2A girls basketball rankings.

The Rebels improved to 15-2 with a 57-31 victory over Pepperell last week and sit in first place in Region 7-2A with a 6-0 region record.

The door to the top spot was opened when previous No. 1 Elbert County lost to Rabun County 51-47 Saturday. Elbert County fell to No. 3, and Rabun County moved up one spot to No. 2.

The other seven No. 1 teams remained the same. They are Brookwood in Class 7A, River Ridge in 6A, Woodward Academy in 5A, Jefferson in 4A, Lumpkin County in 3A, Holy Innocents’ in A Private and Lake Oconee Academy in A Public.

Five new teams moved into the top 10s. Peachtree Ridge replaced South Forsyth in Class 7A; Sprayberry replaced Dalton in 6A; Warner Robins replaced Stockbridge in 5A; Sumter County replaced Redan in 3A; and Telfair County replaced Clinch County in A Public.
