Week 5 of the Georgia high school basketball season is in the books and the state’s top-ranked teams didn’t change.
Rankings 1-9 remain intact from a week ago, but the Top 10 did see a minor change with Cedar Grove moving up one spot to No. 10 this week. Teams ranked 10-15 all moved up this week, and the list also saw the addition of two new teams to the Power 25.
See how the rest of the Power 25 came together as we head into Week 6 of the regular season.
Last Week: 1
The Rams moved to 7-0 on the season last week after defeating the state’s No. 2 ranked team Wheeler 77-68. The win solidifies their spot atop the state, and it would take a lot to bump them out.
Last Week: 2
The Wildcats are coming off of a loss to No. 1 Grayson, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re still the state’s second-best team. They blew out Marietta in North Cobb in region play prior to the loss.
Last Week: 3
The Blue Devils are coming off of a loss to Huntsville (Al.) and it wasn’t a bad loss by any means. Huntsville (12-0) is currently ranked as the No. 23 team in the nation.
Last Week: 4
The Eagles played just once last week, defeating Seckinger in region play 74-52. They’ll be back in action Tuesday night against Lanier.
Last Week: 5
The War Eagles have lost back-to-back game against out-of-state opponents, but one came against Huntsville (Al.), the same team to beat No. 3 Norcross. The score was nearly identical to that of Norcross’s loss, and that’ll keep them firm at No. 5 this week.
Last Week: 6
The Knights went 3-0 last week, defeating Forest Park, M.L King and Peachtree Ridge to improve to 7-0 on the season.
