Here are GHSA football leading rushers, passers and receivers heading into Week 8.

Cartersville, Grayson and Gainesville made the biggest national football poll jumps in a week that was otherwise unfriendly to Georgia teams.

The list of top Georgia high school football games includes Carrollton at Douglas County, Cartersville at Cedartown and North Cobb at North Paulding.

AJC Varsity is tracking which GHSA football games are being played Thursday, Oct. 8.

The projections are a combination of the current Maxwell ratings and actual scoring patterns.

The Wolfpack have won three consecutive state flag titles. But instead of driving participation forward, the program’s success has almost had the reverse effect.

Class 2A’s Commerce, Jeff Davis and Screven County are each allowing 6.8 points per game. That’s tied for sixth best in any classification.

Although the Maxwell Ratings reflect team strength, the simulation highlights the impact of the season’s structure as defined by games, region alignments and playoff brackets.

Only Jackson County is undefeated with its current record (6-0) for the first time.

The GHSA is amending its process for reporting scores to improve the timeliness of accurate Post Season Rankings (PSR) standings.
