They had to travel a long way to do it, but the Rabun County Wildcats walked away with a win in one of Week 7’s premier matchups.
The No.1 Wildcats (5-1) traveled to Pierce County to take on the No. 3 Bears (4-2). It was the teams’ first meeting and Rabun County won it, 28-21.
This game was not on the original schedule — the schools are 290 miles apart — but it came about because of COVID-related cancellations.
