As the number of teams dwindles in the Class AA football playoff bracket, so does the margin for error for title hopefuls.

With victories last Thursday and Saturday, the second-ranked Rabun County High girls hoopsters improved to 3-0 on the season. 

Since he started playing at age 5, Brady Wilson’s plan was to play baseball in college.

The Tallulah Falls girls dribblers shook off two close losses with three straight wins last week over Bethlehem Christian, Towns County and Woodland-Stockbridge.

A big first quarter paved the way for the Tallulah Falls boys cagers’ third win last Saturday, 56-38 over visiting Wesleyan. 

A weekend road loss at Walhalla, S.C. and a home defeat to Stephens County kept the Rabun County High boys dribblers searching for their first win. 

Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School awarded more than 40 students for their success in fall-season athletics on Wednesday, Nov. 18. 

Award-winners were: 

Rabun County Middle student-athletes Harrison Word, Carver Jarrard, Parker Smith and Adam Wright competed last Thursday and Friday in their first National Weightlifting Championship at the school. 

Scoring on four of their first five possessions, the Rabun County Wildcats opened a huge early lead last Saturday and bounced visiting Haralson County from the Class AA playoffs, 35-7.

Every team left in the state football playoffs is dangerous. Rome-based Model, Rabun County’s next opponent, is no exception.
