Our Game of the Week takes us to Tiger for the Sweet 16 as Rabun County hosts Heard County.

RABUN VS HEARD (BOYS)

The Wildcats have gone 26-2 overall and are winners of 14 straight. Huey Blalock and Hayes Free connect in a way so few others can. Catch this team right now as you’re running out of chances. Heard County isn’t a bad team by any stretch. The Braves are 17-9 and are traditionally STRONG in the third quarter, so that’s something to look for.

3 KEYS TO WIN

RABUN/HEARD BOYS
- The Wildcats must (1) play their brand of ball, (2) brace for, or prevent, a huge third quarter for Heard, and (3) get Trace Adcock going early.
- The Braves must (1) get no less than two Wildcats into early foul trouble, (2) convert on second chance opportunities, and (3) have a typical third quarter for them (which is huge).
