Georgia High School Football Team Ranks In The Top 5 In The U.S.
It’s officially football season. Some high school teams have already kicked off, while others are gearing up for their Friday night lights, week one matchup. NFL Play Football has released their newest High School Football America 100, and a team from Georgia is in the top 10.
In total, there are 11 Georgia high school football teams that are listed in the top 100 here. In fact, three of them ranked in the top 20. There is one program that is getting the most national attention, however.
Buford Ranked #4
After beating St. Francis Academy out of Maryland 18-0 last Friday, Buford moved up three spots to claim the #4 spot. The Buford Wolves are at Mallard Creek in Charlotte, North Carolina, tonight. They kick off at 8 pm.
Moving south, Colquitt County also jumped up in the NFL Play Football high school ranking. “Colquitt County is up five notches to No. 13 after an impressive win over preseason No. 11 Dutch Fork, South Carolina’s defending 5A champ,” they report.
Atlanta’s suburb of Fairburn is where you will find the third Georgia high school football team ranked in the top 20 in the country. Langston Hughes also moved up, landing at number 17. Last week, the team came from behind in their first game to defeat Carrollton 39-35. This game was televised last weekend on ESPN.

The number one high school football team in the country right now is Mater Dei in Santa Ana, California. Coincidentally, Mater Dei plays Creekside (out of Fairburn, GA) on Saturday, September 2. Unfortunately, the timing overlaps with the defending NCAA champion, Georgia kicking off their season. The Bulldogs take on TN-Martin at home, at 6 pm on September 2nd.
Georgia Destination Named A Best Tiny House Hotel
A recent report by Shermans Travel detailed the 10 best Tiny House hotels in America, and a Georgia destination made the list. “Tiny homes are one of the hottest residential design trends right now,” they explain.
In addition, Realtor.com published a story last year that gave readers a glimpse of what exactly is going on with the Tiny House trend in America. But what is a Tiny House? Typically, they are 100 to 400 square feet. Many of them (though not a requirement) are situated in quieter areas. It is very common to find tiny home communities tucked within nature, in a peaceful and serene setting.
Other common attributes include creative ways to establish storage space and loft beds. They are often energy-efficient simply due to the smaller footprint requiring less utility power.
“If you’re considering the tiny-home lifestyle, take it for a test drive before you hire a builder and go all-in,” Realtor explained. That is another reason why having such Tiny House hotel options is helpful. It gives those who are interested a chance to try it out.
Live A Little Chatt – Rising Fawn, Georgia
Located just 30 miles outside Chattanooga, Live A Little Chatt has three Tiny Houses on the property to stay at. “It’s evident that each was built with love and intention,” Shermans Travel explains. The Old Blue Chair house accommodates up to five guests, while the Shangri-Little and Wandering Gypsy can sleep three people.
Visitors to Rising Fawn Georgia are in close proximity to Cloudland Canyon State Park. That’s where you will find hiking trails and two waterfalls. However, there is also nothing wrong with staying on the hotel grounds to embrace the simple environment around you to unwind fully.
Each of the three options at this Georgia destination that was named in the list of best Tiny House hotels is uniquely different from each other. “We strive to give you the place to find your bliss and live deliberately.” Live A Little Chatt says.
