As the 2025–26 high school basketball season moves into Week 6, the focus across Savannah-area gyms has shifted. Non-region games helped teams prepare and identify strengths early. Now, region games are critical, as a team's region record directly impacts postseason opportunities and playoff seeding.

Region play is separating contenders, tightening the middle, and increasing pressure on those chasing. Below is a look at where Savannah-area boys and girls teams stand, with region performance leading and overall records providing context.

All standings are as posted on MaxPreps.

BOYS BASKETBALL: REGION POSITIONING STARTS TO MATTER

GHSA Boys Class 6A — Region 1

Region play is beginning to take shape in Class 6A, Region 1, and the race at the top remains tight. Camden County (0–0 region, 7–1 overall) has set the early pace, but there is little separation behind them.

Richmond Hill (0–0, 5–2) is right in the thick of it, staying competitive and positioned to make a move as region games stack up. Lowndes (0–0, 6–4) and Tift County (0–0, 5–2) remain firmly in the mix, setting up a region race that could swing quickly over the next few weeks.

GHSA Class 5A — Region 1

Region play is still early, but positioning is important. Bradwell Institute (0–0 region, 7–2 overall) and Statesboro (0–0, 4–1) are well-positioned after strong starts. Brunswick (0–0, 6–2) and Evans (0–0, 5–2) are also in the mix. South Effingham (0–0, 6–7) has begun to build momentum after a slow start.

GHSA Class 3A — Region 3

Long County (2–0 region, 7–1 overall) and Calvary Day (2–1, 7–1) remain right there, but Beach’s early region success has changed the tone of the race. Islands (2–0, 5–3) continues to apply steady pressure, keeping the standings tight at the top.
