What to watch: Along with No. 13 Colquitt County (Moultrie), Grayson and Dacula are the only undefeated teams left in Georgia's Class AAAAAA. This is Grayson's first 8-0 start since 2011, when the nationally ranked Rams went 15-0 and won their only state championship. This year's squad has received a lot less hype despite fielding a defense that's allowed less than seven points per contest. The unit is led by senior defensive end
Justin Young, a 6-4, 260-pound Georgia commit. On the other side, coach Tommy Jones has Dacula in the midst of one of the best recent turnarounds in the nation. The Falcons (7-0) have won 15 of their last 20 games after enduring a disastrous 1-9 season in 2012.
