Week 2 Team of the Week: Fannin County

Fannin County added more adventures to its new-heights tour last week under seventh-year head coach Chad Cheatham, an alumnus.

The 28-7 victory over Rabun County was Fannin’s first over a ranked team since 1995. Fannin’s new ranking, No. 5 in Class A Division I, is the highest in school history.
