Buford, Jefferson and North Gwinnett are the only area teams that remain in the rankings after the release of the latest Georgia Sports Writers Association Prep Football Poll on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Gainesville, which was 10th in the last Class AAAAA top 10, dropped out after a bye week last Friday night. The Red Elephants (0-1) will begin Region 8-AAAAA play with a chance to rebound from a season-opening defeat on Friday when Winder-Barrow visits City Park in a game broadcast live on 1240 AM.<br />
<br />
Gainesville, and fellow 8-AAAAA squad Flowery Branch both received nine votes and are on the cusp of the top 10, while 8-AAAAA newcomer Lanier also received three votes.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Buford remained No. 1 in Class AAAA following a thrilling 27-20 defeat of former Class AAAAAA No. 6 McEachern. The Wolves (3-0) have a bye this week before playing host to White County on Sept. 19.<br />
<br />
Jefferson also kept its place at No. 5 in Class AAA this week following a 48-8 win over North Hall. The Dragons (3-0) will play host to arch-rival Commerce (2-0) this week.<br />
<br />
And, in Class AAAAAA, North Gwinnett moved up two spots to No. 7 after a 28-21 defeat of Hillgrove. The Bulldogs (2-1) are off this week before taking on Collins Hill on Sept. 19 in their Region 7-AAAAAA opener.<br />
