Last Thursday marked the end of Week 4. Four schools have already completed seven games as we are now on the backside of the 2024-25 regular season. There were two gamedays in Week 4 on Tuesday and Thursday. Both 7th and 8th grade are down to one undefeated team. South Forsyth (7-0, 6-1) sits alone atop the 7th grade standings after two wins during the week. Hendricks (6-1, 7-0) won two games as well to push their winning streak to seven games, which leads the league in 8th grade. Lakeside (4-2, 5-1) and South Forsyth had a perfect week, sweeping their 7th and 8th grade games.

In 7th grade, Hendricks and Riverwatch (6-1, 1-6) dropped their first games on Thursday (vs Vickery Creek and South Forsyth, respectively). The losses cost the teams their place at the top of the standings. Lakeside and Vickery Creek (4-2, 2-4) moved into a tie for fourth after three combined wins by the teams in Week 4.

In 8th grade, North Forsyth (3-3, 5-1) fell to Lakeside on Thursday for their first loss of the season as well, which dropped the Wildcats into a tie for third place with the Lions. The top four in the standings have one loss or less heading into the stretch run of the season.

After four weeks of action, South Forsyth now leads the 7th grade in scoring margin, currently winning by an average score of 49.2-19.7 (29.5 margin). Hendricks leapfrogged into the top spot in 8th grade with a scoring margin of 17.9 points per game (45.6-27.7).

South Forsyth maintained their spot leading 7th grade in scoring at 49.2 points per game. For the first time this year, the top scoring margin dropped below 50.0 PPG. Behind the Eagles are Hendricks (45.9 PPG) and Riverwatch (44.6 PPG). Piney Grove is averaging 53.0 points per game and sits in the first position in scoring for 8th grade. The Grizzlies are now the only team in 7th or 8th grade with a PPG average above 50.0 points. North Forsyth (47.3 PPG) and South Forsyth (47.0) are second and third in scoring average.

On the defensive side of the ball, South Forsyth's 7th grade team is the only team in either league holding their opponents below 20.0 points per game (19.7). In 7th grade, Hendricks is the only other team with an OPPG average below 30.0 (22.6). The Hawks' 8th grade team is giving up just 27.7 PPG, which leads the league. Lakeside (30.0 OPPG) stands in second place for points allowed in 8th grade.

Three teams (HMS, RMS, and SFMS) remain within one game of each other in the standings. There is just one gameday next week, on Tuesday, as the schools head into Christmas/New Year's break. Vickery Creek plays at South Forsyth in the week's biggest game. Riverwatch has their bye date.

Four teams (HMS, SFMS, LSMS, and NFMS) are within on and a half games. North Forsyth plays at Hendricks on Tuesday in the week's marque game. Piney Grove travels to Lakeside in a sneaky good matchup which could have a bearing on the standings as the season moves to its conclusion after the upcoming break.
