Our Game of the Week is Commerce vs Rabun County. All four of these teams have been top-10 ranked, with the boys both in the top-5 all season long.

COMMERCE VS RABUN GIRLS

The Lady Tigers have had only one slip-up in an otherwise outstanding season, going 13-1 to date and 1-1 early in region play. They are young, but so talented and have depth and size. Rabun County has been great as well, going 10-3 and shine at the guard position. The Lady Cats can shoot.

COMMERCE VS RABUN BOYS

The Tigers are 11-3 and already 2-0 in region play. These boys have been doing it for a couple of years now, with the same basic core including their trio of Maki Mitchell, Ty Sorrells, and Essien Lockleer. They’re still only juniors. The Wildcats are 12-1 with a single loss against #1 Gainesville. Huey Blalock and Hayes Free (seniors), Reed Burrell (junior), and freshmen Trace Adcock and Cord Burrell make for a show you don’t want to miss.
