However, Region-5A is playing out as expected with Lowndes County (7-0 overall, 4-0 in Region-5 ) sitting at the top with their last victim being cross-town rival Valdosta in a 14-7 win.

Wasted, Macon (7-0 overall, in Region-4A) is on top in Region-4A continuing their dominance with a 27-7 victory over Harris County. The Seminoles are averaging 46 points per game while their defense has only allowed a little more than six per game while pitching two shutouts.

The surprise of the season comes by way of the Eastside Eagles (5-1 overall, 2-1 in Region-8-AAA) who sits atop Region-8-AAA by beating a Stephens County Indian (4-2 overall, 2-1 in Region-8-AAA) team handedly by a score of 38-14, but lost to Hart County (3-2 overall, 2-1 in Region-8-AAA) 24-7 in their last outing.

However, midway through the season, Emanuel County Institute (5-1) holds down the top spot in the state with Lincoln County (5-1), Wilcox County (6-0), Athens Academy (6-0), Clinch County (6-1), Brookstone (6-0), Bowdon (6-0), Bremen (5-1), Johnson County (7-0) and Washington-Wilkes (4-2) rounding out the top 10 teams in the state.
