‘“These are the same kids [from last year] who have stuck with it and didn’t run from a challenge,” Small told David Friedlander of the Gwinnett Daily Post after the game.

Teams that ought to be ranked (if they win this week)
Ranking Class 7A is easy at first. You’ve got six no-brainers (in some order) – Grayson, Roswell, Mill Creek, McEachern, Colquitt County, Norcross.

Check our composite rankings, and you’ll see 17 teams in 7A getting at least ...

Rating regions: R1 still pretty good despite 1-3 debut
The regions look a little different in the new Class 7A. Which are the strongest? Here is how I might rank them with help from the Maxwell Ratings.
The first rating number is the average strength of each team. The second rating number is more complicated, but essentially rates the region on its top-heaviness.
