Georgia Dugout Club Power Rankings Breakdown – Class 7A
August 29, 2025 – Atlanta, GA
The first GHSA Class 7A softball power rankings of 2025 are here, and they showcase just how loaded the state’s largest classification is. From national powerhouses to fast-rising contenders, the Top 10 is a who’s who of Georgia softball.
Top 10 Teams
1. East Coweta (12–0)
The Indians once again sit atop Class 7A, carrying an unbeaten record into late August. With a lethal mix of veteran leadership, dominant pitching, and a deep batting order, East Coweta has already racked up statement wins over ranked opponents. Their power ranking score (0.733) reflects both their perfect start and the high caliber of opponents they’ve faced.
2. Buford (8–0)
The Wolves trail closely behind, also unbeaten and looking every bit like a title contender. Buford’s pitching staff has posted multiple shutouts, and their offense has been clutch in close games. While they’ve faced fewer games than East Coweta, Buford’s reputation and depth ensure this battle for No. 1 will last all season.
3. Carrollton (7–0)
The Trojans have quietly pieced together a perfect start of their own, highlighted by balanced hitting and timely defense. Their overall power ranking (0.700) reflects the fact that Carrollton is not just winning but doing so against quality competition.
4. Tift County (7–1)
The Blue Devils are proving to be a South Georgia powerhouse, with a lone blemish but plenty of firepower. Their strength of schedule has been impressive, and their ability to battle with the state’s best keeps them solidly in the Top 5.
5. Richmond Hill (4–1)
One of the most intriguing early risers, Richmond Hill breaks into the Top 5 after an impressive start. Their high opponents’ winning percentage shows they aren’t shying away from strong competition, and their early run signals they could be this year’s breakout contender.
6. North Gwinnett (8–1)
The Bulldogs sit just outside the Top 5 with a strong 8–1 record. Their lone loss came in a tight contest, and they’ve shown depth in both pitching and hitting. Expect them to climb higher as region play continues.
7. Mill Creek (5–2)
The Hawks’ 5–2 start includes several quality wins. With a power ranking just behind North Gwinnett, Mill Creek is positioning itself as a consistent Top 10 threat.
8. Harrison (8–2)
The Hoyas have been battle-tested early, with eight wins already logged. Their schedule strength isn’t quite as high as some above them, but Harrison has shown resilience in close games.
9. Brookwood (8–2)
A perennial contender, the Broncos are right behind Harrison with an identical record. Their depth and experience mean they can challenge anyone in the state.
10. Dacula (8–4)

5. Coffee (6–3)
Coffee rounds out the Top 5 with a tough early slate. Their three losses have all come against ranked programs, proving they aren’t backing down from challenges. If their pitching rotation finds consistency, Coffee could rise quickly.

At 4–2, Effingham has already tested themselves against strong opponents. They bring a tradition of playoff success and a reputation for gritty softball that will serve them well as region play heats up.
7. Creekview (9–2)
