Some Georgia High School’s “big boy” programs are many schools to have reached the 70-win plateau since 2020.

Pierce County is among the 11 heavyweights tied with Milton and four-time Class A DI champion Bowden for ninth-place with

70 wins.

The Bears of head coach Ryan Herring are 70-11 during the first six years of the decade with a Class AAA state title (2020) and Class AA crown (2023). PCHS is 81-12 entering Herring’s eighth campaign.

Pierce County’s 70 wins is second to two-time defending champion Carver-Columbus’s mark of 71-11 for the top spot in the new Class AAA alignment. Rockmart and Thomson are each 62-15 — the third largest gap for schools with 70 wins.

Milton is 70-13 with a

2023 Class 7A championship and a 2024 Class 5A title. Currently in 6A, Milton trails Hughes, who won the 2022 Class 6A crown, with a 73-10 mark.

Bowden’s mark is 70-14 with state titles from

2022-25. Clinch County and Lincoln County are each 57-19 — the largest gap of any division.

Buford, the Class 6A state champion and national champion, leads the way with a 76-7 record. The Wolves last won titles in 2020 and 2021.

Carrolton (74-9) and Grayson (71-12, 2020 Class 7A champ, 2024 Class 6A champ) are the only other 70-win programs in the highest classification. Colquitt County is fourth at 59-13.

Behind Hughes and Milton in Class 6A is 2025 Class 4A champion Creekside at 66-14.

Cartersville (71-8) and Marist (70-13, 2020 Class

4A champion) top Class

5A. North Oconee is third. Ware County’s 56-17 ledger is seventh.

There are no 70-game nor 60-game winners in Class 4A. Calhoun leads the way at 57-21. Sandy Creek (56-14; 2022 Class

3A, 2025 Class 3A) follows with three other schools having recorded 50 wins each (Troup 50-20, Peach Count 50-21, Oconee County 50-25).

Toombs County, the

2024 Class A DI champion and 2025 Class A DI runnerup is seventh in Class

3A at 54-20. Appling County is 11th sporting a

49-27 mark after having

10 wins stripped two season ago for using an ineligible player.

Fitzgerald tops Class 2A with a 69-16 record and a

2021 Class A state title. Rabun County is second at

60-17 with Brooks County third at 57-24.

Prince Avenue Christian leads the way in the Class 4A-2A Private division with a 72-12 mark with a 2020 Class A Private and back-to-back Class A DI titles in 2022 and 2023.

Calvary Day and Fellowship Christian are the only other programs with over 60 wins. Calvary Days is 67-12 while Fellowship Christian is 62-15.
