Rabun Gap hosts Charlotte Christian Thursday Night

The Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School Eagles varsity football team hosts the Charlotte Christian School Knights at Zavala Family Stadium this Thursday, September 29, 2022.  The Eagles are 4-2 on the season and the Knights are 4-1.  Rabun Gap Director of Sports Information and Assistant to the Athletic Director, Coach Connor Cohea says the Eagles are prepared to fly to another victory.  “First off, just glad that we can get this game moved to avoid the serious weather that is coming in, and hopefully, everyone stays safe in the area.  So, we have Charlotte Christian coming in this week.  Very good opponent.  They beat us in the state championship two years ago and last year when we played them in the regular season it went right down to the wire.  This is a very well-coached, good football team.  They have a really good quarterback, who has a good arm on him.  They have big, physical receivers on the outside that are fast and that can go get it.  They have a really good offensive line.  Their left tackle #64 is probably by far the best I’ve seen yet this year.  He just plays with a little bit of intensity and some attitude.  He’s not a dirty player by any means, he just plays like an offensive lineman.  They also have a good running back.  So, this is a good test for us.  We didn’t like how last week happened but we are excited to get back in front of our home fans and take on Charlotte Christian.  This team is very well-coached, very good, so this is a big game for us.  Defensively, they sort of play a different front that we haven’t seen in a while.  They are going to crowd the box but I’m sure they will adjust to us with our weapons on the outside.  So, this is going to come right down to the wire again.  Two good football teams going at it.  A lot can be dictated with playoff implications after this game.  So, both teams are going to want it badly.  But we are very excited.”  The Rabun Gap versus Charlotte Christian game kicks off at 6pm in Zavala Family Stadium.  If you can’t make it to the game, you can listen to it on Real Country 100.3.
