GHSA 6A Midseason Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Christmas has now passed and we're officially at the midway point of the 2022-2023 season. It's been a fun year full of surprises and upsets and much will change in January and February but I've taken my best shot at ranking the top teams in each classification. Grovetown entered the season as the favorite in 6A but a rocky start has opened the classification up for some real competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>1.
