No. 1 Lowndes, No. 3 Colquitt County remain put without playing.

While the top three teams remained the same, Lovejoy was the biggest mover in this week's MaxPreps Georgia high school football computer rankings. The Wildcats (6-0) moved up 10 spots to No. 14 following a 47-0 win over Morrow.

The Lovejoy defense held the Mustangs to minus-6 yards rushing while the offense got 125 yards passing and two touchdowns from Stephin Craig. Antonio Jones added a pick-6 and a TD reception.

Lowndes (5-0) remains No. 1 despite not playing last week due to COVID-19 issues. The Vikings are followed by No. 2 Grayson (6-0) and No. 3 Colquitt County (4-0). Lowndes will not play this week, but is scheduled to play Oct. 30 against Tift County.

Grayson got two touchdown rushes from Phil Mafah and two passing by De'Yon Cannon in a 42-7 win over South Gwinnett. Colquitt County also had a bye last week and doesn't play until Oct. 30 versus Camden County (4-3).



No. 19 North Gwinnett and No. 20 Cherokee moved into the Top 25, jumping nine and seven places, respectively, after big wins. North Gwinnett defeated Mill Creek 31-0, its third shutout of the season, while Cherokee beat West Hall, 35-7, thanks to 251 yards passing and three touchdowns by Sebastian Irons.

Collins Hill moved into the rankings at No. 24 following a 42-7 win over Peachtree Ridge.
