The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Super 11 countdown, which began last week, is now at 22.

Below are the 22 finalists for the annual preseason honor that will be announced Aug. 19. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Super 11 team has been selected each preseason since 1985.

Trimmed from the list this week are Nigel Bowden (Central-Macon), Harrison Butker (Westminster), Brendan Douglas (Aquinas), Janier Ferguson (no longer at Pepperell), Makail Grace (Wilcox County), Trey Johnson (Central Gwinnett), Alvin Kamara (Norcross), Kamani Thomas (East Paulding), Chaz Thornton (Stephens County), Dominique Threatt (Tri-Cities) and Shaquille Wiggins (Sandy Creek).

Remember that the Super 11 represents the best 11 high school players in the state. That’s very subjective, needless to say.

It is not a list of the top 11 college prospects in the state. There have been numerous players in the past (Commerce’s Monte Williams, Tucker’s Jonathan Davis to name two) who were Super 11 in every sense of the phrase, except every big-name program was not knocking on their doors.
