HSFB 2018: state polls roundup and computer predictions for Central Georgia teams
As expected, Washington County is now a member of both polls, giving Region 3 three teams in both the Georgia Sports Writers Association and Atlanta Journal-Constitution Class AA polls.
A 55-7 win over a bigger school makes it hard to leave you out.
Northside returned to the 6A AJC poll at No. 10, while Dooly County is out of the AJC poll, likely for at least three or four weeks.
Warner Robins and Peach County are the highest-ranked area teams, the Demon No. 2/AJC in 5A and the Trojans No. 2/GSWA in 3A.
No Central Georgia Class A teams are ranked, or got any votes in the GSWA poll.
