There is a new No. 1 team in the Class A Division II rankings this week.

Irwin County, which had its game against Clinch County postponed last week because of Hurricane Helene, moved up one notch to take the top spot.

The Indians got their chance to move up in the GPB Sports rankings when previous No. 1-ranked Bowdon lost to Manchester 28-20 in a clash of Region 7 rivals. Manchester moved up to No. 2 and Bowdon dropped to No. 3.

It may not be the last time the two teams meet. Last season Manchester beat Bowdon during the regular season, but Bowdon got its revenge when they played for the state championship.

The biggest mover in the rankings this week was Valdosta. The Wildcats climbed five spots to No. 4 in the Class 6A rankings thanks to its 56-37 win over Camden County., which fell from No. 5 to No. 10.

There were several new teams who appeared in the rankings this week: Creekside at No. 10 in Class 4A; Lumpkin County and Cairo, who are tied for 10th in Class 3A; Commerce, who moved into a tie for 10th in Class A Division I; and Wheeler County at No. 10 in Class A Division II.
