What’s up, ASN family? As the Georgia spring sun starts to show some teeth, the action on the pitch is getting even hotter. We’ve hit that mid-March stride where the pretenders start to fade and the real contenders for those state rings begin to distance themselves from the pack.
Based on the latest MaxPreps data, we’re seeing some familiar powerhouses holding the line, but a few massive jumps in the rankings have definitely caught our eye. Let’s break down who’s dominating the Peach State right now.
Boys’ Side: Johns Creek and Lassiter Battle for the Top
If you’ve been following our coverage, it’s no surprise that Johns Creek is still sitting on the throne. With a clinical 9-1-0 record, they’ve navigated a brutal schedule to claim that #1 spot. But don’t sleep on Lassiter at #2—they are a perfect 7-0-0 and looking every bit like a championship side.
The real story of the week, though? South Forsyth. These guys absolutely surged, jumping seven spots to land at #4. If they keep this momentum, the top three should be looking over their shoulders.
