Campbell may have won just one football game last season, but the Spartans are stepping up in class. That’s because the Georgia High School Association’s State Executive Committee approved on Tuesday the reclassifications that were proposed in November, which includes the creation of Class AAAAAA (yes, six!) for the biggest high schools in Georgia. The vote was 47-1, with one pass. Reclassification was based on this year’s enrollment of ninth- to 11th-graders for each of its member schools. The Spartans, now in Class AAAAA, are among the 63 schools out of the 65 originally proposed that will make up Class AAAAAA for 2012-14. With the addition of Marietta High School, here's how the new Region 4-AAAAAA will look: Subregion A Subregion B …

A quick peek at what's going on at Smyrna's high school.

Lovett last week again showed itself a resourceful road team, beating Callaway 19-7 at the Cavaliers' home stadium. The Lions, 3-0 on the season, won its second away game, also beating Thomasville to open the 2011 campaign. Lovett will need all of that road toughness and more in a couple of weeks when the team heads up the interstate to Buford to play the state's most dominant team in Class AA. In the game at 5-AA's Callaway, the Lions matched a balanced offensive attack with a sturdy defense, outgaining the Cavs 270-144 in total yards. Behind Arthur Winbourne's 62 yards, Grant Haley's 57 and Luke Hart's 42, the Lions rolled up 181 on the ground. Hart was 9 for 16 for 89 yards passing. Receiver Mason Marsteller caught three passes for 24 …
