North is cruising along after last Friday's 36-17 win over Gwinnett rival Norcross, which also is the defending Class 6A champ. The Bulldogs also continued as the No. 1 team statewide in 6A, by Georgia High School Football Daily and the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Also gathering steam is Peachtree Ridge. The Lions (3-0) advanced to No. 7 statewide after Friday's rout of Gwinnett rival Duluth.
