We are entering the last two weeks of the regular prep football season. Some teams are on the fence as far as playoffs go. Thes next two weekends is about winning and go on to the playoffs or lose and stay home. That’s what makes these weekends exciting.
The Savannah Area Prep Football Rankings have been basically close to being the same for the past five weeks. Savannah Christian and South Effingham have been swapping the top spot. So, for the last two weeks this poll we have all Savannah Area Prep football teams ranked together. I feel the schools that have done well, big or small, private or public, deserve the chance to be ranked based on their performance and strentgh of schedule.
You are probably saying this isn’t fair, because the smaller schools probably wouldn’t be able to compete with the bigger schools. I feel that Savannah Christian could play with anybody in the area and some of the other private schools couldn’t. If you disagree then you rank the teams and let us know. So, good luck tonight to all the prep football teams and “Let’s Get Ready for Some Football!”
