Updated 12/10/2024
The Carrollton Trojans will attempt to finish the season as the No. 1 team in our 2024 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 6A.
They’ll have to get by the Grayson Rams, who would love nothing more than to take the top slot away from the Trojans, who are coming off an impressive 30-17 win over Buford last week.

Carrollton and Buford, the No. 1 and No. 2 teams, respectively, in our 2024 Georgia high school football rankings for Class 6A, each won last week, setting up a battle between these two powerhouse programs in Buford this week.
The big question heading into the game is whether Carrollton’s All-American quarterback, Julian “JuJu” Lewis, will be available for the contest. He suffered what appeared to be a hand injury in the second quarter of last week’s game against Hillgrove and did not return to the field.
Collins Hill and North Gwinnett both lost last week, ending their bids for a state title.

The rest of our Top 5 teams won, while Douglas County knocked off North Cobb.

It was a wild season-opening week as five of our top-ranked teams across all classifications lost their first game, but don’t think this will be the only time that happens. This could be one of those seasons that sees a different No. 1 each week. Here’s a look at our updated Top 10 team rankings for Class 6A after Week 1 of the 2024 Georgia high school football season.
Carrollton defeated Woodward Academy last week, and that coupled with Buford’s loss to Milton pushes Carrollton and quarterback Julian “JuJu” Lewis into the No. 1 spot.
Collins Hill proved that they were deserving of our Top-10 ranking last week by knocking off Grayson 20-19, which moves the Eagles up to the No. 6 spot.
Walton makes their debut in this week’s poll, replacing Newton, who lost to Eastside.

Preseason – Updated 8/12/2024
The 2024 Georgia high school football season is finally here, and you will notice that ITG Next’s weekly rankings have a new look. This year we will rank the Top 10 teams in each classification with a total of eight rankings. This includes a separate Top 10 ranking of the “private only” teams in Class 1A-DI, Class 2A, and Class 3A. Here is a look at our updated 2024 Georgia high school football preseason rankings for Class 6A in the new format.
Yes, Buford and Colquitt County lost some big-time talent to graduation, including each of their starting quarterbacks from last season. But they are solid programs with excellent coaches. Don’t expect them to simply disappear.
Carrollton has the most talked-about player in the state in quarterback Julian “JuJu” Lewis, who will try to rally the Trojans to a state title before he heads west to lead the Trojans of Southern California.
Look for Collins Hill head coach Drew Swick to have his Eagles once again among the best in the state’s highest classification.
