The Lady Titans have not played up to their potential yet this season and are bounced out after a 37-34 loss to Lambert, who was missing two starters. No. 2 Winder-Barrow has a big week as they visit No. 5 Lanier on Tuesday. The Lady Doggs lost 63-58 on December 15 in their first meeting with McDonald’s All-American Olivia Nelson-Ododa sidelined.

Into the rankings for the first time since Week 1 is No. 9 Douglas County. The Lady Tigers have shaken off a 1-3 start to the season and have won 7-straight, including a 66-54 win over Fayette County at the J4Sports MLK Classic where All-State forward Amari Robinson poured in a career-high 41 points.

No. 1 meets No. 2 in Class AAAAA as No. 2 Flowery Branch tries to finally get the monkey off their back when they host No. 1 Buford on Tuesday. The Lady Falcons lost 58-48 in their first meeting this season after losing thrice last year. No. 3 Harris County defeated No. 6 Bainbridge 59-52 in overtime, sending the Bearcats down two spots.

Burke County is coming off a 49-47 win over Cross Creek.

No. 1 GAC’s hold over Class AAA has loosened since Auburn-signee Robyn Benton re-tore her ACL. The Lady Spartans still managed wins over Union County (66-53) and Dawson County (69-52) without her. No. 3 Franklin County is sitting pretty at 21-0 while No. 5 Johnson-Savannah slips two spots, challenging themselves but coming up short with losses to Class AA No. 1 Laney 73-53 and Class 4A No. 3 Spalding.

The Lady Tigers beat St. Vincent’s 48-45 but lost to Statesboro 52-42 after clipping the Blue Devils back on December 2. No. 5 Josey cracks the Top 5 just ahead of Swainsboro. In their lone meeting with mutual opponent Statesboro, the Lady Eagles won 55-43 in late November. No. 10 Dodge County has fallen all the way to the final rung of the rankings after losing for the second time to East Laurens, 55-47. Bryan County (16-3) was the unfortunate casualty this week, losing 50-47 at Metter. Debuting in the poll is No. 9 Early County. The Lady Bobcats are powered by 6-foot-2 freshman Mykayla Timpson. The post presence is averaging 19.1 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.3 blocks. Early County has already matched last year’s win total and four of their five losses have come in season sweeps to Class 5A No. 6 Bainbridge and Class 4A No. 9 Westover. The Bobcats’ resume is highlighted by a 68-61 win at Fitzgerald and a 66-43 rout of Class A-Public No. 10 Terrell County on Tuesday.

Class A-Private saw Prince Avenue Christian (17-2) have their 15-game winning streak snapped by No. 10 Athens Academy 51-44 and get replaced in the poll by the Spartans.

No. 9 ELCA received 44 points from freshman phenom Weronika Hipp in their 73-42 win at Lake Oconee Academy.

Class A-Public is hotly contested in the middle of the pack, but up top, No. 1 Greenville and No. 2 Pelham are starting to separate themselves. The Lady Patriots crushed No. 6 Macon County 90-59 as the Lady Bulldogs also suffered a 56-47 loss to newly ranked No. 9 Central-Talbotton. The defending state champion Lady Hornets avenged their 61-60 loss to No. 10 Terrell County by topping the Green Wave 63-43. No. 5 Wheeler County took care of Woodville-Tompkins 62-47. No. 7 Marion County travels to Central-Talbotton on Tuesday. Georgia Military College (17-1) exits the Top 10 after a 48-43 loss at Greene County.

Just like on the boys’ side, we have two new No. 1’s this week. In Class AAAAAAA, everything was status quo with the top seven remaining unchanged. No. 3 Norcross highlighted the action by stomping Brookwood 59-29 and beating Bearden (TN) at the Krossover Classic, 57-53. No. 5 Cherokee beat Woodstock 63-41 and No. 6 North Forsyth drilled rivals South Forsyth (59-37) and West Forsyth (78-24). No. 9 Colquitt County falls one spot after going 1-1 at the Rose Classic Super Jam. The Lady Packers defeated T.C. Williams (VA) 55-47 before losing to Rock Creek Christian Academy (MD) 75-53. No. 8 Hillgrove debuts after knocking out North Cobb (15-3). The Lady Hawks handled the Lady Warriors 51-34 and picked up wins over Marietta 66-46 and at Woodstock 58-41. Hillgrove now has its sights set on rival No. 10 McEachern. The Lady Hawks take the short eight-minute ride over on Tuesday and have a chance to take firm control of Region 3. The Lady Indians struggled to beat Marietta 62-55 last week.

No. 1 Lovejoy regains control of the top spot in Class AAAAAA for the first time since Week 4. The Lady Wildcats held off No. 6 Forest Park 52-48 on the road. No. 3 Harrison drops two places after losing to Class 5A No. 1 Buford 57-35. The Lady Hoyas survived No. 4 Creekview in double overtime 29-26 before the loss to Buford. Creekview surges up five spots after their defensive war with Harrison and their blowout of rival Sequoyah (14-3), who falls out of the Top 10. The Grizzlies sucked the life out of the Lady Chiefs winning 46-21 in the War Lodge after holding Sequoyah to a 5-point first half. Creekview has now won five consecutive meetings with their Hickory Flat foes. No. 8 Alpharetta plummets four spots after an upset 42-37 loss at Johns Creek.  New to the poll this week is No. 10 Tucker, who returns for the first time since Week 5.

Down six spots in Class AAAAA is No. 8 Dutchtown. Eagle’s Landing avenged a 49-41 loss by beating the Lady Bulldogs 54-46. The Lady Eagles (12-6) are now knocking on the door of the Top 10 and are back in the thick of things in Region 4. No. 4 Harris County had a strong week, beating Veterans 50-35 and winning at McIntosh 65-52. The Villa Rica basketball program is now a combined 31-0 as the No. 6 boys are 16-0 and the No. 5 girls are 15-0. Chasing the Wildcats in Region 7 are No. 9 Carrollton and Rome (14-2). The two meet in Carrollton on Tuesday. No. 10 Fayette County earned a hard-fought Region 3 win at Starr’s Mill in overtime, 57-50.

Class AAAA No. 1 Carver-Columbus helped send Americus-Sumter (14-3) out of the Top 10 with a 69-51 defeat. The Lady Panthers also lost to new Region 1 representative, debutant No. 9 Westover 51-45. Elsewhere, No. 2 Henry County suffered their first loss of the year at the Elite Showcase in New York City, losing to Shenendehowa (NY) 73-51 after beating No. 5 Luella 68-61 at home. No. 7 Marist beat Class A-Private No. 9 Landmark Christian in convincing fashion, 54-35. No. 8 Baldwin falls two spots after a 55-48 loss at Burke County. The Braves now have to deal with newly ranked No. 10 Cross Creek on Tuesday. The Lady Razorbacks have been powered by freshman Jordyn Dorsey, who is averaging 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists. Cross Creek replaces Jefferson (13-5) in the rankings after the Lady Dragons fell to St. Pius X, 49-39.

In Class AAA, No. 4 Franklin County made a statement behind Mya Jones’ 28 points in a 64-46 win at No. 9 Hart County. Out of the poll are Peach County (11-6) and Haralson County (13-2). Peach County was thumped by No. 5 Central-Macon 42-22 while the Rebelettes lost to returnee No. 8 North Murray 50-49. Debuting in the poll is another Region 6 team, No. 10 Sonoraville. The Lady Phoenix have been paced by youngsters Alexa Geary (2021) and Maliyah Parks (2020). Sonoraville already holds a 60-51 win over Haralson County coming back on January 5.

The race in Class AA is tightening up as No. 1 Laney withstood another scare from No. 7 Josey, 67-60 to remain perfect. No. 8 Dodge County’s troubling trend continues. Every time I’m ready to push all my chips to the middle of the table to pronounce Dodge County as a legit title contender, the Squaws flop. They sink six spots after a 71-52 blowout home loss against No. 4 Washington County, who leaps five spots after also adding a 53-42 win at Southwest-Macon. No. 3 Swainsboro climbs two positions after dropping Metter (13-4) from the Top 10 with a 59-43 loss. The hottest team in Class AA however, is none other than No. 2 Banks County. The Lady Leopards have played a gauntlet thus far and it is paying off. The winners of 10-straight shoot up six positions after winning at No. 6 Rabun County 59-49 and hammering No. 5 Putnam County 61-40. At the bottom of the rankings, No. 10 Bryan County debuts behind the play of sophomore Olonna Rawls. The Redskins host Metter on Tuesday to cement their Top 10 status.

Everyone is streaking in Class A-Private, meaning there’s not much room for movement among the top seven. No. 1 Holy Innocents’ has won 14-straight after beating Hoover (AL) at the Krossover Classic 53-48. No. 4 Our Lady of Mercy now has 15-straight victories under their belt after a 50-38 win at newly ranked No. 10 ELCA. Remember the name Weronika Hipp. The freshman from Poland is averaging 24 points per game and knocking down 45% of her three-pointers. She was named MVP of the European FIBA Championships while playing on her U16 team back in Europe.  No. 5 Calvary Day has run up 13-straight wins while No. 6 Stratford Academy beat rival Tattnall Square in overtime 50-41 to make it nine in a row. No. 7 Prince Avenue Christian knocked Athens Academy (14-3) from the Top 10 to earn their 14th straight W. No. 8 Christian Heritage scrapped out a 64-62 win at Class A-Public No. 9 Bowdon.

It will be extremely difficult for someone to take back the perch in Class A-Public from new No. 1 Greenville. Mississippi State-signee Brittany Davis is the best player in the classification and one of the best in the entire state, averaging 32.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 7 steals and 2.3 blocks. The Lady Patriots beat No. 8 Marion County 68-58 to secure their spot as the team to beat now that No. 3 Telfair County faltered against No. 5 Wilcox County and Wichita State-commit Trajata Colbert, who dumped in 24 points in the 45-30 upset. No. 4 Macon County handed Marion County their second loss of the week, 52-44. It took overtime for No. 6 Wheeler County to fend off Savannah Country Day, 55-48. No. 10 Georgia Military College sinks three spots even though they are the class’ lone unbeaten. The Lady Bulldogs won three nail-biters, beating 7-9 Hancock Central (36-33), 10-3 Glascock County (46-42) and 3-14 Aquinas (35-32).
