GHSFD talks Class AAA; Columbus, Shaw predicted to miss playoffs this season

The Georgia High School Football Daily hit Class AAA today, and here are some highlights:



- LaGrange has the sixth-toughest schedule in Class AAA and Troup's is No. 10, according to the Maxwell Ratings.



- The Maxwell Ratings picked Carrollton, LaGrange, Troup and Central-Carrollton to make the playoffs from Region 6-AAA, leaving out Columbus and Shaw among others.



- Those same ratings predicted Shaw would finish 3-7 and Columbus 2-8 (again??).



- Shaw is ranked the No. 58 team in Class AAA and Columbus No. 73.



- And someone even asked how Hardaway's schedule could have been slighted a day earlier when compiling the toughest Class AAAA schedules.
