2025 Georgia High School Football Rankings: Class 4A

Top 10 Georgia High School Football Teams in Class 4A

Updated 9/21/2025

North Oconee won its matchup against East Forsyth 41-6 and in the process maintains the top spot in our 2025 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 4A. 

However, Creekside and Blessed Trinity swap spots after the Titans dropped their second straight contest this past week. Blessed Trinity lost a close one to Hebron Christian, the defending Private Class state champion, by a 22-17 final. The loss drops the Titans to 3-2 overall. Meanwhile, Creekside won and remains undefeated this season.

Perry, who was ranked 10th last week, falls out of the Top 10 after an upset loss to East Coweta by 17 points. The Indians were winless going into the matchup with the Panthers.

Flowery Branch moves into the 10th spot this week.

North Oconee rolled over Class 5A Jefferson by a 35-0 final last week, and maintain a stronghold on the top spot in our 2025 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 4A. Blessed Trinity, who held a 10-0 lead on Class 5A two-time defending state champ Milton last week, could not hold off the Eagles, and fell 21-10. But, they maintain their No. 2 spot in this week’s Class 4A poll. Kell lost to Lowndes by a 38-7 final,  and drop out of the top 10 this week. The Perry Panthers slide into this week’s Class 4A Top 10 at No. 10.

North Oconee is once again the No. 1 team in our 2025 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 4A following a shutout victory over Clarke Central. 

Cartersville remains at No. 4 despite knocking off top-ranked Class 3A team Calhoun last week. 

Cambridge was upset by Denmark, suffering its first loss of the season and falling three spots to No. 9. 

Central (Carrollton) moves up two places to take over the No. 6 spot.

Updated 9/2/2025

Kell, previously ranked at No. 5, falls to the 10th spot in our 2025 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 4A following their 31-point loss to Class 5A’s Sequoyah last Friday. 

Marist is now 1-1 on the season after a 16-12 win over Woodward Academy last week. As a result, the Eagles soar to No. 5 this week. 

Blessed Trinity had a huge win over Private Class 1A-3A Prince Avenue Christian, the top ranked team in that class.

Updated 8/25/2025

Take a good look at Benedictine at No. 7 in our 2025 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 4A because the Cadets aren’t likely to stay ranked that low for long. Head coach Danny Britt’s team has opened up with two blue blood programs in 2025, first at Colquitt County and last week versus Buford, losing to both teams. Although they move down the list this week, they’re too good to stay down there.

North Oconee stays in the top spot, Blessed Trinity taking over the No. 2 spot after an impressive win against Holy Innocents’, and Ware County moves into the Top 10 with a win over Class 5A’s Coffee.

Despite falling on a last-second field goal at Colquitt County, Benedictine remains in the No. 2 spot, just behind top-ranked North Oconee in our 2025 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 4A. 

Creekside remains at No. 3 following their 20-point win against Rome 48-28. 

Despite being shut out by 19 points against Jefferson, Marist remains in our Top 10, albeit falling five places to No. 10.

Preseason – Updated 7/8/2025

Here are ITG Next’s 2025 Georgia high school football preseason rankings for Class 4A.

With North Oconee returning just about everyone from last year’s undefeated state championship squad, I’m not exactly going out on a limb to project them as our preseason No. 1 team in Class 4A. 

But look out for several other talented programs, including Benedictine, which welcomes back three-star quarterback Stephen Cannon, four-star wide receiver Bubba Frazier, and five-star edge LaDamion Guyton, who’s an incoming transfer. 

Earlier this year, I picked my “Top 5 Dark Horse Georgia High School Football Teams to Watch in 2025.” Two teams on that list were Cambridge and Kell, which I think are both Top 10 teams this season. 

Always-reliable Marist with head coach Alan Chadwick will be strong again in 2025.  

I have been an outspoken fan of Central (Carrollton) quarterback JR Harris, and with four-star running back Jonaz Walton returning this season, I like head coach Umbrah Brown’s team to make a deep run in the state playoffs.
