2024 is here and along with the new year are some important changes across multiple classifications. The She Got Game Classic provided Georgia with some tough competition from across borders.

In Class 7A, No. 1 Grayson continued to roll, taking down Blanche Ely, FL 62-55 at the She Got Game Classic. No. 2 Carrollton defeated Class 6A No. 5 New Manchester 57-46. No. 3 Buford rises a spot with an 84-70 win over Class 3A No. 4 Carver-Columbus. No. 4 North Paulding jumps two places with wins at Cartersville (60-50) and Cherokee (63-57). No. 5 Norcross slides two places as Mercer-signee Jania Akins is rumored to have sustained a serious knee injury that may cost her the rest of the season, sapping away from a defensive-minded group their best perimeter scorer. No. 6 Campbell fell to Palm Bay, FL 73-66 at She Got Game while No. 7 McEachern suffered a pair of losses, beat by Hazel Green, AL 50-40 and Winter Haven, FL 59-45. Milton (12-2) tumbles all the way out of the Top 5 to unranked after a shocking 78-45 loss at home to Lambert. No. 8 Mill Creek resurfaces in the poll with a pair of nice victories, winning at Central Gwinnett 43-34 and then toppling Hewitt-Trussville, AL 46-45 at She Got Game, Bella Ragone recording 23 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals while Kayla Harper netted the game-winning basket.

While there were plenty of substantial results, Class 6A only sees one change at the very bottom of the poll. At the top however, No. 1 River Ridge won 62-55 at Cherokee as Sophia Pearl posted 24 points. No. 2 Langston Hughes picked up a 67-42 win over Paulding County and has reportedly landed Cornelia Ellington from New Manchester, a high-scoring guard who has been working her way back from injury after starring at Decatur last season. No. 4 Marist blew out Class A D-I No. 8 Mt. Pisgah 60-31 on the road while No. 5 New Manchester fell at Class 7A No. 2 Carrollton 57-46. No. 6 Woodward Academy went on the road and destroyed previously unbeaten Morrow 76-48 before losing 70-53 to Spring Garden, AL. No. 7 Sequoyah edged debutant No. 10 Rome 50-41 after the Wolves secured a 51-48 win at Etowah. No. 8 Tift County looks like South Georgia’s top program, beating No. 9 Veterans 57-46 behind Caitlyn Burgess’ 18 points and winning at Thomas County Central 71-57. Veterans scored a 62-56 win over Class 5A No. 4 Warner Robins to open the week, Gabby Minus scoring 20 points. Lakeside-Evans (12-3) exits the rankings after losing 44-42 to 7-9 Glynn Academy.

Class 5A sees a reshuffling of the Top 5. No. 1 Union Grove held off Pleasant Grove, AL 65-62 at the She Got Game Classic as Jordan Brooks (19) and Nadea Smith (18) combined for 37 points. No. 5 Midtown drops three spots, defeated at Class 4A No. 4 Stockbridge 53-38 and knocked off by No. 3 Creekside 66-64 in overtime, the Seminoles leaping three spots as freshman C’India Dennis poured in 33 points and Skye Cleveland added 16. No. 4 Warner Robins holds tight to their position following a 62-56 loss at Class 6A No. 9 Veterans. No. 6 Jefferson slips a spot, winning at Loganville 36-23 but losing in overtime at Class 3A No. 6 Dawson County 58-56, Skyler Brady stepping up with 20 points while starting point guard Emeri Billings missed another game with a broken finger. No. 10 Statesboro beat Class A D-I No. 7 Swainsboro 60-56 as Northeastern-signee Alyssa Staten posted 22 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks and surpassed the 1,000-point, 1,000-rebound plateau earlier in the week.

The shuffling at the bottom of Class 4A continues while the top seven all remain in place. No. 4 Stockbridge beat last week’s Class 5A No. 2 Midtown 53-38 behind Prairie View A&M-signee Carrington Wilson’s 18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. No. 6 Cherokee Bluff had a strong week ahead of their Tuesday tilt at No. 8 Chestatee this Tuesday for first-place in Region 8 as the Bears dropped North Hall (10-5) out of the Top 10 with a 62-38 road win and then beat North Oconee 64-49, freshman Bristol Kersh averaging 20.5 points and 6 steals over the two-game span. No. 7 Fayette County defeated returnee No. 9 Starr’s Mill 59-51. The Panthers subsequently would go on to rout Trinity Christian (6-5) 82-52 to sink the Lions out of the rankings.  No. 10 East Forsyth climbs back into the poll sitting at 6-2 in Region 8, coming off a 3-0 week, Ayla Heard scoring 18 points apiece in wins over Cedar Shoals (55-25) and East Hall (64-43).

There is no movement in Class 3A for the second consecutive week. No. 1 Hebron Christian defeated Class A D-I No. 1 St. Francis 66-57. No. 2 Wesleyan edged Bradley Central, TN 67-57 at the She Got Game Classic. No. 3 Pickens beat last week’s Class 2A No. 7 Model 77-60 at the Wood Elite Showdown. No. 6 Dawson County rallied past last week’s Class 5A No. 5 Jefferson 58-56 in overtime as Morgan Chester scored at the buzzer and Eva Bishop led the way with 21 points including 16 in the second half.

The CSRA is starting to take shape in Class 2A. No. 3 Josey went on the road and blew past No. 5 Butler 52-32 to drop the Bulldogs a spot. No. 6 Banks County is on the climb, up three spots with three blowout wins including a 67-36 victory against Fellowship Christian. No. 10 Model falls three spots, beat by a surging Sonoraville 42-34 then defeated 77-60 by Class 3A No. 3 Pickens at the Wood Elite Showdown. Sumter County (7-6) drops out after an upset loss to Fitzgerald 35-34. No. 9 Murray County is back in the poll after topping Northwest Whitfield 60-48, Callan Ledford scoring 16 points.

Class A D-I remains solid with no changes although five teams lost. No. 1 St. Francis fell at Class 3A No. 1 Hebron Christian 66-57 but bounced back at the She Got Game Classic beating Immaculate Conception, NJ 56-47. No. 2 Galloway lost 78-64 to Winter Haven, FL at She Got Game. No. 3 Athens Christian was upset at Oconee County 66-62 but saved their position in the poll by scoring revenge against previously undefeated Lakeview Academy 64-59. No. 5 Oglethorpe County beat Oconee County 53-43 while No. 7 Swainsboro won at Dublin 48-45 but lost 60-56 at Class 5A No. 10 Statesboro. No. 8 Mt. Pisgah got blasted twice, losing to Class 6A No. 4 Marist 60-31 and wrecked by Marietta 70-37 at She Got Game. No. 10 Heard County nearly fell out of the rankings, but survived at Newnan in overtime 54-51.

No one is touching No. 1 Greenforest in Class A D-II, the international program playing a national schedule and notching two wins at the She Got Game Classic, beating San Jose Prep, FL 61-52 and Wekiva, FL 65-14. No. 3 Taylor County holds onto their position after losing 53-48 at Manchester. No. 4 Wilcox County also lost, defeated 52-44 at Fitzgerlad. No. 5 Early County inches up a spot, losing 36-32 to Bainbridge but winning at Seminole County 46-40 while No. 6 Terrell County loses ground, down a position with losses to Westover (49-46) and Monroe (52-46). No. 7 Towns County jumps two places after a 66-52 win against No. 9 Warren County who edged Lake Oconee Academy 55-54 earlier in the week. No. 8 Clinch County lost 49-34 at Coffee to move down a spot. Randolph-Clay (7-4) departs from the Top 10 losing to Abbeville, AL for a second time, 41-38. No. 10 Macon County cracks the poll fresh off a 3-0 week highlighted by a 36-34 win against Marion County.
