The Rabun County Wildcats are coming off a fifth straight region title, an 11-2 2018 season that saw the Cats reach the Quarterfinals for the fourth straight time.
Rabun is the early favorite for the 8-AA title along with Union once again, and another quarterfinal run or deeper seems like a good bet.
Still, quite a few questions remain as the Cats head into the 2019-20 season.
The big question is how will the look and feel of the team differ with the Jaybo Shaw era opening up? We can expect him to have the same intensity on offense as he’s been calling the past few seasons, and with another year that blue-chip recruit Gunner Stockton has improved, look out! However, the O-line lost a massive amount of talent with All-State center Shawn Lovell, as well as Jackson Webb (also All-State) and Austin Sosebee. Will Hightower will lead the line in its rebuild. The loss of All-State Austin Jones will be tremendous as well on offense, defense, and special teams. However, Braxton Hicks will be that go-to target at receiver, as the corp features him, newcomer Garrett Bragg, and holdover Dawson Lathan among others.
