Lee County remains first in state football writers’ poll

The Lee County football team retained its first-place position in the Georgia Sports Writers Association GHSA Class 6A poll released Tuesday.

The Trojans again received 15 of 17 first-place votes. Second-place Tucker and third-place Mays received the others.

Lee County hosts fourth-ranked Northside-Warner Robins on Friday in a key Region 1-6A contest. The Trojans close the regular season with a Nov. 3 home game against seventh-ranked Coffee, with a trip to unranked Valdosta coming Oct. 20.

No other Albany-area teams were ranked.
