A new era for Rabun County begins, as alum and 2-time state champion head coach Rance Gillespie takes the reigns, and immediately reached into his bag of tricks and hired Bill Stewart, another former state championship head coach to lead the defense.

The senior class is star-studded: Ty Truelove at QB, Reid Giles at RB, Lake Evans at RB/WR, Noah English at RB on offense. Defensively, Giles, English, Ethan Hooper, Jakaden Shiflet, Dane Tyler, and others will shine (not all seniors). And if you’re looking for some young players that may be the next top talent from Rabun – keep an eye on Shiflet, Knox Whitworth, Jett Whitworth, and Reed Burrell.
