Athens Power Rankings for the Week of May 19


Welcome to Athens Power Rankings. In the spirit of sports rating systems, through painstaking analysis, we rank the top movers and shakers in the Classic City each week. Who’s hot? Who’s not? Find out below.

1. Mayor Denson

Which one will prevail? Tuesday night, we’ll finally know.

2. ACC voters

Y’all literally hold the power this week. Do the right thing.

3. I Am the World Trade Center

The beloved synth-pop group will reunite for AthFest under the name I Am the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. Part of that sentence is true.

4. Prince Avenue

Folks saw and got seen Saturday. And only one car-cyclist collision!

5. UGA baseball & UGA softball

The dude Dawgs snuck into the SEC tournament by barely holding onto a game that saw them leading at one point by eight runs. Still: They’re in! The No. 4-seeded ladies advanced to the NCAA Super Regional with two decisive victories Sunday.
