Landmark Christian’s Jo’Van Freeney is Preseason All-State WR for the Private division in the state. The deceptive SR receiver is among the best at breaking down the defender in 1v1 situations, and that was demonstrated exceptionally well last week in a 28-21 victory over Christian Heritage. Freeney caught a short intermediate pass off the right
Flowery Branch SR Griffin Harper has been a productive All-Region and All-State Honorable Mention caliber player for the last few seasons. In fact, we covered the 2026 back exactly one year ago, where he was named Player of the Week after a dominating performance against Habersham Central in Week 2. Déjà vu in 2025, Harper
Hiram’s Julian Fishburne has been a cornerstone offensive lineman over the last few seasons, and through one game, he looks to have taken a jump.

In his first year of high school football, Sergio Mason made a name for himself. Going from hoops to the gridiron is no easy test, but the transition was seamless for the 2026 defensive lineman. The Stephenson staff was elated about his production last fall and contacted us before the season even finished raving about
The last athlete to win play of the week in 2024 was Banneker’s speedster, Kelian Allen.

Allen ran a 10.41 100m time over the weekend, ranking
North Atlanta has been playing their best football in the school’s 33-year history over the last few seasons.

North Atlanta scored a touchdown to close the gap 24-21, and
Brunswick is 7-1 on the season and had a big Week 10 win over Lakesive-Evans that should ultimately decide the region. The #8 ranked team in 5A is headlined by junior passer Grant Moore, who has been efficient this fall throwing for 1515 yards and 16 touchdowns while also rushing for three additional more. His
Dutchtown defensive back Rishon Postell has been an emerging prospect the last few seasons at both cornerback and safety.

Postell blocked the
Metter is the #9 team in our Class A Div II rankings and among the many playmakers creating an impact is Elijah Dickerson.

Hiram’s Julian Fishburne has been blocking his tail off the last few weeks and has made consecutive appearances on our bully squad, highlighting some of the top blockers across the state. The impressive junior blocker has been excellent at getting to his assignment, and when he does, watch out, a huge pancake block is incoming.

Wherever Creekside needs Eric Paul Jr, he obliges with excellent high-IQ football play.

Mary Persons junior Zay Sullivan is a blocking merchant who deals out crushing blows that leave defenders firmly on the ground.

One of the top plays from Week 6 had to be Kennesaw Mountain’s Dylan Green making a one-handed interception against Lithia Springs. The 6’3″ junior used every inch of his 6’3″ frame to stretch out and leap for the highlight reel pick, and just a few days later, he was named to the top plays
South Gwinnett junior QB Xavier ‘Deuce’ Butler has been impactful midway through the season. The Comets are 3-1 on the year and competed well against the top 10-ranked Valdosta Wildcats in Week 5 losing 27-14.
