Rabun County battles Commerce in classic clash

The High Five Sports Game of the Week is brought to you by Motley Injury Attorneys. I texted our Kelly Price tonight, asked how the Game of the Week was going, and she wrote back, this feels like classic high school football. Two outstanding programs, Raven County and Commerce in our Game of the Week, and it was a good one with major implications. Super Blaine Comet and Kelly Price at our Game of the Week tonight. Leslie, hit it. It's a passion around here. You're born and raised, it's in the blood here. Recently, the passing of Coach Lamb, who was a high school legend. Instead of doing like a legend shirt, I was able to do any memory of. He was the man. I love football. Play Raven, we ready. Come on, let's bring energy, let's go. All four quarters now, all four quarters now. We got a while, man. These Tigers have shown that they want it this season. After an 0-6 start this time last year, they're 6-0 going into this region capfight against the Wildcats of Raven County. And Commerce has bulldozed through those first six games, winning by an average of 42 points. Kind of like how Marco Huff bulldozes his way into the painted area. Strong start for the Tigers as they take a 7-0 lead a few minutes in. On their next drive, Tate Kirk airs it out to Ty Sorrells, but pop goes the football. The players might have lost track of it, but Super Blaine behind the camera did not. Right there, guys. It's right there. Everybody comes in hot to try and nab it, but it's recovered by the home team on the nine. That is one way to create an explosive downfield. Cue up Marco Huff, direct snap, which he takes directly into the end zone. That's two for number 11 and a 14-point advantage for Commerce. But let's shout out this defense as well, averaging just 5.7 points per game, giving up second best in 2A. Donald Huff with the breakup with less than a minute before halftime. Opening drive of the second half. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. With his third tutty of the night, it's Marco Huff 21, Raven County Wildcats 0. But that wasn't all, folks. Later in the fourth, Kirk handing off to who else but Huff, who hits the hole, hurdles past some Wildcats en route to his fourth touchdown. And that's how this one ends, 28-7. Coach, I just heard you telling this team that they can do even more. Do you want even more is what you just asked them. What is this team capable of? Sky's the limit for this group. This is a talented group. They've worked hard. They buy in every day. And the standard at Commerce High School is to restore the roar and bring back a state championship. We talked about restoring the roar. I mean, what does this win in the scheme of a 7-0 start mean for you guys? It means that we accomplished 1-0, meaning our goal last week was to go 1-0. Next week our goal will be to go 1-0. And if we can keep going 1-0 and doing the things it takes to go 1-0 each week, then we're going to be successful. And here's a guy who helped you go 1-0 with four touchdowns on the night. You outscored that entire team on the other sideline. What did this night mean for you? Everything. What does it mean to be a part of a team that goes from 0-6 a year ago and now is 7-0? I mean, everything, you know. You know, we can. We worked hard, you know, over the summer and everything. So, yeah. To hear these guys saying we love Marco, how does that feel? It feels good. You know what else feels good? The Game of the Week trophy going to you guys. Cheering him on during the interview. That was great. Great game of the week.
