BOYS BASKETBALL RANKINGS

State champs end debate after plenty of parity

  

While there were quite a few upsets in the seven boys state tournaments, some classifications saw little change from the pre-playoffs poll. Class AA was one of those, which saw the top four stay the same (although in different order). However, other classifications saw drastic shake-ups throughout their respective top 10s.

 

Miller Grove moved to No. 1 for the first time since the preseason poll by dominating the Class AAAAA playoffs. Allatoona which had been No. 1 for much of the year, dropped to No. 6 after getting manhandled 57-38 by Stephenson at home in the quarterfinals. Much of the Class AAAAA top 190, however, consisted of the same teams although Northside-Warner Robins debuted in the poll.

Wheeler in the final. One interesting omission from the final poll was Westlake, which was ranked at the top for much of the season, but lost in the first round of the state tournament.

 

In Class AAAA, coach Don Maehlman's Jonesboro squad finally reached No. 1, as he exclaimed in the post-game interview Thursday night. While Columbia held the top spot for much of the season, the Cardinals now own it for good.

 

Morgan County emphatically earned the No. 1 ranking in Class AAA behind Tookie Brown's incredible finals performance against Buford. Callaway and Thomson each entered the top 10 after being unranked heading into the postseason.

 

The Class A combined poll features eight private teams, with St. Francis leading the way after its first boys state title. Athens Christian jumped from No. 7 to No. 1 and Turner County and Aquinas each made the final poll after missing out in the pre-playoff rankings.

Tucker, St. Pius and SACA make jump to No. 1

 

  

In Class AAAAAA, state champion McEachern remains No. 1 ahead of finalist Archer. Lowndes moved up five spots from the pre-playoff poll and finishes at No. 3 after its run to the semifinals. North Forsyth moved to No. 4 and South Forsyth made its debut at No. 5 after reaching the state semifinals. Westlake dropped out of the top 10 with its 59-58 first round loss to Tift County.

DeKalb in the state championship. Drew fell one spot to No. 3 with the Tigers' jump to No. 1 and Osborne rounds out the top 4 after falling to the state champs (Tucker) in multiple overtimes in the second round.

 

The top three stayed put in Class AAAA, but South Effingham, Fayette County and Woodland-Henry jumped Cross Creek for the four, five and six spots. Chestatee lost to Grady 55-51 in the first round and was replaced by Rutland in the top 10.

 

St. Pius X reclaimed No. 1 in Class AAA with its 48-45 win over Buford in the state championship. Pre-playoff No. 1 Washington County dropped to No. 4 with its 53-52 loss to No. 3 Beach in the quarterfinals. Pike County jumped five spots and into the top 5 with its semifinals appearance and Johnson-Savannah debuts at No. 10 after reaching the state quarterfinals.

 

Kendrick closed out Wesleyan 69-58 in the Class AA state championship game and remains No. 1 ahead of the No. 2 Wolves. Laney moved to No. 3 with its semifinals berth ahead of Greater Atlanta Christian.

 

In Class A, Southwest Atlanta Christian takes over No. 1 in the poll after toppling unbeaten Holy Innocents' 57-52 in the Class A-Private championship. The Golden Bears dropped one spot to No. 2 and St. Francis fell from No. 2  to No. 3. Class A-Public state champion Randolph-Clay finishes at No. 4 and Class A-Public state runner-up Mitchell County finishes at No. 6. George Walton Academy was jumped by both state champs and fell from No. 3 to No. 5. Mt. Paran is debuting in the final poll and the Eagles come in at No. 10.
