“Our community has much to be proud of, but our young people are surely our greatest point of pride,” David Ralston said in congratulating the Fannin County High School Rebels football team.
Ralston made the comment as he announced a Georgia House of Representatives resolution honoring the team on its Region 7AA Championship.
“I want to congratulate Coach (Chad) Cheatham and every team member on their undefeated regular season record and their regional title. I am very proud of the hard work and dedication they put in to earning this championship,” Ralston said.
House Resolution 86 reads, in part, “The team brought special recognition to its school and to Fannin County by winning the 7AA Region Championship for the first time since 2007, which stands as a testament to the unbridled passion and resilience exemplified by each team member.”
The Rebels finished the regular season with a perfect 8-0 record and won their first two playoff games. They ended their season 10-1.
This was the first region title for the Rebels since 2007.
