Two-time defending 5A state champ Warner Robins moves into a new 5A region for the next two years. The Demons are in Region 3 for the next two years.

The region itself is completely re-made with the Georgia High School Association‘s bi-annual realignment. It’s a seven-team region that includes last year’s Region 4 champ Jones County and Region 4 runner-up Dutchtown. The other four teams in the region are Eagle’s Landing, Locust Grove, Ola and Union Grove.

Warner Robins is one of four 5A teams that finished 2021 ranked in the High School Football America national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football. The Demons state led to a No. 29 ranking in America.

Region 7 may be the strongest in the class with 2021 runner-up Calhoun and Cartersville. Both teams finished in the national rankings — Cartersville at No. 111 and Calhoun at No. 150. Cartersville won the Region 7 title with a 21-14 win over Calhoun.

Blessed Trinity, which won three straight state titles from 2017 through 2019, moves-out of the region and into Class 6A. Also moving-up are St. Pius X and Woodward Academy.

The realignment brings Jefferson up from 4A. The Dragons won a 2A title a decade ago and finished runner-up in 4A in 2020.

Other newbies are Cambridge, Dalton, Flowery Branch, Greater Atlanta Christian, Kell, Mays, Statesboro and Tucker.

Below are all of the 5A schedules from the GHSA.
