#7 COMMERCE 21, EAST JACKSON 13

The Lions move to 2-0 with a blowout win of 55-14 over East Hall, marking a second straight week piling on more than 50 points.

HABERSHAM CENTRAL 45, #10 STEPHENS COUNTY 7
Still worried about the Raiders? Nah, neither are we. Habersham (1-1) won their most lopsided game in…well, EVER over the rivals Stephens County in a 45-7 final.

Boone Horn then had a TD pass to Austen Kitchings. Carter Perrin had an electric 81-yd kickoff return for a TD before Eli Primm added a short-yardage rushing score. Horn then found Perrin for a 22-yd TD before the half, which was 41-21 at the time. Perrin added his third TD of the game with a pick-six for 41 yards in the third. Sean Moon added the final staple in the win with a rushing score.

#5 RABUN COUNTY 27, METTER 23
Rabun County posted a gritty 27-23 win in the season and home opener. The Wildcats got the win over a Metter team coached by former Rabun County legendary coach Lee Shaw. Cooper Kowalsky had a 10-yd TD pass to Reed Burrell, and JK Fruster added a 50-yd TD run in the second. Metter led 17-14 at the break. Fruster added a go-ahead score in the third on a tough 15-yd run where he dragged the defenders the final few yards. Metter went ahead to start the fourth, 23-21. Fruster had his third TD late in the game on a 17-yd score for a 27-23 lead, which was the final.

ROCK SPRINGS 30, TOWNS COUNTY 28
Towns County dropped a heart-breaker of 30-28 at Rock Springs to move to 1-1 overall on the season.

WHITE COUNTY 20, UNION COUNTY 14 (OT)
The Panthers pounced early with a pair of TDs in the first by Chetley Cox rushing and then passing to Jax Dillinger. The Warriors responded in a big way, as Savion Anderson cut the deficit in half in the second with a rushing TD. Despite two missed field goals, White County knotted it up on a TD run by Jack Clark. In overtime, Union County fumbled on the first play, and White County scored a few plays later on a 13-yd walkoff TD by Anderson. That makes the Warriors 2-0 to open the year, and Union is now 0-2.
