Two classifications see no changes at all while multiple schools debut for the first time in the lower ranks.Not only has No. 1 Grayson made their case for best team in Class 7A, but they have established themselves as the team to beat in Georgia and maybe even the entire nation after stomping No. 10 Archer 76-43 then drilling the No. 4 team in the nation IMG Academy, FL 73-56 at the MLK Day Classic. No. 2 Carrollton toppled No. 7 Campbell 47-39 and went on the road to beat last week’s Class 6A No. 10 Rome 46-29, holding the Wolves to 11 second half points while Madison Reese led the Trojans with 14 points off the bench. Campbell bounced back with a 54-35 win over Class 2A No. 6 Butler at the MLK Day Classic. No. 3 Buford won at No. 8 Mill Creek 63-41 but Ohio State-signee Ava Grace Watson’s 44 points weren’t enough in a 74-67 loss to Class 6A No. 1 River Ridge.
