RABUN GAP — The Rabun Gap-Nacoochee football team not only started fast, it started so fast that the officials had to end the game early.
Matt Linn threw for 108 yards and three touchdowns, Paul Steidl caught two passes for two scores and the Eagles routed the Greenwood Raptors (S.C.) 41-0 in 19 minutes of their season opener last Saturday afternoon.
“It was good to see our team get off to a fast start on Saturday,” coach Shawn Bryson said. “We constantly talk to are players about starting fast and playing with high energy. I'm glad that we showed that we can start fast. It's something that we can continue to build on going forward.”
