Boys - ok so before you come after me, I'll put a caveat in place that I wanted to follow the 7A ranker's lead and keep teams in the same order as the 7A rankings to avoid those complaints and keep me in check. But also, this was just hard. With five weeks of racing to go on, so many teams have swapped places somewhere along the way. I suspect these will change significantly in the next 3-4 weeks. But this is what we've got for now. Lambert starts out on top after a big win at Ortho. Pace shows they're still for real with the runner up, likely hungry to avenge a close loss at state last year. Marietta and Harrison have had 2 great battles early, but got beat last weekend, so they start at 3rd and 4th. Norcross remains a contender, winning their first Gwinnett county meet. Marist edged St. Pius in an old school battle on an uncharacteristically fast course on Marist's campus. Blessed Trinity impressed last week winning the big AT&T meet showing they can contend with pretty much anybody. Walton is their usual self, strong as always placing 3rd at Cobb, which is what they were last year when they won it all. And Mill Creek rounds out our top 10 after their runner up finish at Gwinnett barely edging out a couple of our watch list teams. I'm keeping more teams on the watch list for now, but that will get smaller as the season goes on. The purpose is to determine the 10 best teams in the state, regardless of classification. I am certain there will be mistakes made, so please feel free to point them out as long as it's done kindly. Also, I suspect that Covid is causing some teams to fly under the radar for now, like Decatur who we know has some studs.

Watch List: Parkview, Brookwood, Westminster, Chestatee, Archer, South Forsyth and Carrollton.
