High school football has started in a few states, and, as it seemingly does every year, there have already been some shocking results among the nation's top teams.
Wednesday night's season-opener in Georgia saw Grayson, a team featured in the preseason Super 25 ranking and initial top 15 Southeast ranking, get blown out by North Gwinnett .
That surely won't be the last jaw-dropping result as more teams gear up to open their seasons in the upcoming weeks.
