1. Grimsley (4-0, 1-0)
Last week: No. 1 Coming off a bye, the Whirlies romped Metro 6A/7A Conference foe Southwest Guilford 65-0, with 37 points in the first quarter and 51 points by halftime with freshman Brody Lowe again filling in for Tennessee recruit Faizon Brandon at quarterback. The Cowboys were held to a mere 97 yards in the game.

2. East Forsyth (3-2, 0-0)
