During an official alignment year for the GHSA, 2008, Creekview was placed in Region 7-AAA after a debate of whether or not they should be put in Class AAAA or AAA's Region 6. Region 7-AAA was one of 8 regions in the state to have a subregion system, Creekview being placed in subregion A. Creekview started the 2008 season 0-3 losing all three by a combined 8 points. The fourth game of the season was their first subregion test in the schools history, the Grizzlies traveled to Gainesville to take on 2007 State Semi-Finalist, North Hall. The Trojans, a perfect 10-0 in subregion play at the time, sent Creekview home with its 4th loss of the season. The Grizzlies soon bounced back, winning the last 6 regular season games and going 5-1 in the subregion, earning the final playoff spot in the tough 7-AAA.2009 season
