Two prime games between ranked programs highlight Week 3 high school football schedule in Class A Divisions I and II.
The best game is Division I No. 4 Rabun County hosting Class 3A No. 10 Adairsville on Friday.
Rabun is 2-0 after victories against Haralson County (49-3) and Stephens County (14-7). Adairsville climbed into the Class 3A top-10 after defeating Cherokee Bluff (51-50) in overtime last week.
Rabun’s senior quarterback Keegan Stover is 28-of-46 passing for 609 yards and five touchdowns. He has runs 17 times for one touchdown. Senior Jaden Gibson has 15 catches for 311 yards and four touchdowns, and junior Riley Stewart has one catch for a touchdown.
Prince Avenue Christian, the top-ranked team in Division I, will “rekindle” a rivalry that has decided the region title in each of the past nine seasons when it travels to Athens Academy for the 19th meeting with the Spartans. OK, rekindle implies the rivalry ended when the teams changed classes and regions this season. It didn’t. Each team has won nine times against the other.
In Class A Division II, top-ranked Schley County will travel to newly ranked No. 10 Early County after last week’s bye. Schley defeated Tattnall Square 28-21 in its opener. Junior quarterback Jay Kanazawa was 17-of-24 passing for 266 yards and two touchdowns. Early County entered the top-10 after beating Miller County 52-14 and Seminole County 27-0.
