Class 6A’s top 10 football teams appear to be settling in as the group went 7-0 when not playing another Class 6A ranked team Friday night.
In the lone ranked-vs.-ranked game, No. 4 North Gwinnett beat No. 5 Mill Creek 37-34.
Nobody had a bad week, and perhaps only No. 1 Carrollton and No. 6 Camden County, both winning by 50-plus points, went untested.
No. 2 Buford and No. 3 Douglas County beat top-10 teams from the class below – Buford over Roswell, Douglas County over Hughes. Buford travels to Douglas County next Friday in the state’s game of the week.
No. 7 Valdosta and No. 9 Grayson beat out-of-state teams.
Valdosta struggled with Ribault, a Florida team that had a losing record last season.
Grayson beat Mallard Creek, one of North Carolina’s best.
Collins Hill beat Parkview 27-10, and while Parkview is struggling, that’s still a solid win for the Eagles.
Next week, aside from the Buford-Douglas County clash, the top games involving Class 6A teams are Gainesville at Carrollton and Lee County at Colquitt County.
