Our Game of the Week is Rabun County vs White County. Both Rabun teams are ranked #3 in the state, while the White County girls are #10. The White County boys have opened a new era.
RABUN VS WHITE GIRLS
The Lady Wildcats are off to a solid start at 1-0 with a win at Seckinger. This is the home-opener for #3-ranked Rabun, as DeeDee Dillard’s team is experienced and have some young new talents emerging as well. The White County girls have also started out well with a win against North Gwinnett. The lineup has some really good talent as well, though they’re still developing an offensive identity without dual 1,000-point scorers that graduated after last year.
RABUN VS WHITE BOYS
This is THE season for Rabun County. The #3-ranked Wildcats feature a star-studded lineup that will be without the services of Reed Burrell (football playoffs) for a little while longer. Hyped freshmen Trace Adcock and Cord Burrell get their home-opener in the books. White County is penning a new chapter under coach Miles Kendall.
