Power Poll: Georgia's top 10

GHSA Power Poll

Power Poll: Georgia's top 10

With the high school basketball season in full swing and several meaningful games have now been recorded, we are excited to roll out our first edition of the HoopSeen Georgia Power Poll. 

As the season grows older, we will extend the poll out to as many as 20 teams. With several major match-ups on the horizon with holiday tournaments and national events, the power poll will certainly shift. 

We combine all of the teams in the GHSA into one massive poll. Classification certainly matters but so do quality wins and value of losses. This poll is totally subjective. And we like it that way. Our eyes tend to win out when in debates. Sure, numbers matter. But so does our gut based on what we’ve seen. 

We will see more teams as we move closer to ultimately crowning champions at the end of the season. 

If you have an opinion, please sure it with us on HoopSeenGA. Heck, go ahead and even share your top 10 up to this point!
