For their first game in the Thanksgiving Tournament on Saturday night, the Fannin Rebels took on the Hiwassee Dam Eagles. The Rebels had just come from a big 40-35 win against the Southeast Whitfield Raiders and looked to continue the trend against the Eagles. 
Sophomore, Landon Norton, was the first to make something happen as he got his hands on the ball and made an assist to Kaeden Twiggs to score the first layup of the night and give Fannin a 2-0 lead. The Eagles quickly tied up the game as they pulled up for a shot to make the score 2-2. Twiggs was all over it as he had a shot downlow to give the Rebels a 6-2 lead that they would keep extending over the Eagles. Twiggs had a great night on offense as he contributed fourteen points to Fannin’s score for the night. As Fannin kept finding open shots, they closed out the first quarter with an 18-7 lead over Hiwassee Dam.
The return of Fannin’s football players proved to be a huge help in the tournament game. Cohutta Hyde showed off his amazing ball handling skills as he led the Rebel’s in scoring for the night with 21 points. Jalen Ingram proved to be an asset on the block as he earned steals and added 9 points to the Rebel’s score, one basket being from a slam dunk! Senior, Miles Johnson, also made himself known in his first game back as he had moves on the block and added four points to Fannin’s score. As the Eagles kept trying to catch up, Fannin kept extending their lead and went into halftime with a score of 37-10.
Hiwassee Dam came out ready to play in the second half. They started to work harder to get to the basket and score points. Brady Martin applied pressure to the Eagles defense as he earned steals downlow and even contributed 2 points to the Rebel’s score to extend their lead. Jerritt Holloway had grit on defense as he drew fouls. Holloway was 100% on his free throws for the night, just like he was Fannin’s last game, as he made all four of his shots against the Eagles. An assist from Jalen Ingram to Kaeden Twiggs for a layup put Fannin ahead 56-31 to end the third quarter. 
The Eagles found a new fire in them as they applied heavy defensive pressure to Fannin and made them work to get to the basket. Hiwassee outscored the Rebels in the fourth quarter as they earned 10 points while Fannin only had 6. Starting point guard, Jordan Bennett, had a great game with good looks on offense as he provided many assists, and also drew a foul to earn a foul shot for Fannin. Bennett was the one to close out the game with a made layup to put the final score at 62-41 with Fannin claiming their third victory in a row!
Fannin’s win puts their overall record at 3-0! Can they keep the streak going? Find out tonight as they take on Pickens County at 7:30 for the second day of the Thanksgiving Tournament being held at Fannin County High School!

Pre-season interview with Fannin Rebels Head Coach Chad Cheatham
FCHS Football, Sports, Team FYN Sports July 8, 2019
After a two week break, the Fannin County Rebels are ready to get back to work.
“They came back in and seemed to be real fresh and excited, and we had a lot of good energy,” said Head Coach Chad Cheatham about their first practice back.
Although the Rebels graduated eleven seniors off the team from last year, the team is taking it in stride.
Cheatham mentioned the strengths of the freshmen and sophomores who played last year, and then went a little bit into recruiting for this year.
“We picked up several good kids, kids that left the program even in the spring when I first got here are starting to come back in,” said Cheatham.
Rebels fans know that Cheatham led the team to the playoffs last year for the first time in several years, so BKP asked Cheatham if the team had set a standard for this year.
“Absolutely,” replied Cheatham. “I think that not only just making the playoffs, but advancing now to the playoffs…I don’t think that these guys want to accept, or will accept, anything less than that.”
The full interview can be viewed below, only on FYN TV!

Unfortunately, there was a pivotal moment in the game where Micah O’Neal was injured and taken off the field. TeamFYNSports followed up with Coach Cheatham, has been told that O’Neal is doing okay, and the doctors didn’t find anything.
With less than 5 minutes in the game, Owensby recovers the fumble at Rebels 30-yard line. The Rebels were not able to capitalize the recovery and they lose their chance for another touchdown.
With only 2 minutes left in the game, the Rebels try to keep the War Eagles from scoring, but the War Eagles gained a near 50-yards and get the touchdown and the extra point lighting up the scoreboard and defeating the Rebels 45-42.
This was such a close game and the Rebels played their hearts out. It seems like whoever had the ball last with more than 10 seconds on the board would be the team that won the game, this time it was the War Eagles. We can’t wait to see what the Rebels bring to Friday nights conference game against Cherokee Bluff High School. The Rebels will be playing at home at 7:30pm on September 28th. See you there, Rebels!
Rebels Take the Fall to Panthers: 49-7 at Union County
Fannin County High, FCHS Football September 12, 2018
After the coin toss, Fannin County High School Rebels received the kick off. The Union County Panthers defense shut the Fannin Rebels offense down immediately and seemed to set the tone for the rest of the game. Rebels didn’t cross the 50-yard line into Panther territory before having to give possession back to the Panthers.
I
n the Panthers first possession, they made quick work of crossing the 50-yard line into Rebel territory. The Panthers were able to move the ball for a new first down. It didn’t take long for the Panthers to be up 14-0 over the Rebels in the first quarter.
Panthers defense was determined to hold their lead by not allowing the Rebels offense into Panther territory. No matter what moves the Rebels made, the Panthers defense was there to shut it down.
With only seconds remaining in the first half, the Rebels had possession deep in Panther territory. The Rebels had the Panthers end zone in sight. #12 Luke Holloway’s pass was intercepted and ran all the way back for a Panther touchdown, smashing whatever hopes the Rebels had of getting a touchdown.
At the end of the first half, the Panthers had found themselves in the Rebels paint, lighting up the scoreboard and leaving Rebels in the dust 35-0. The Rebels may have felt a little stunned by Panthers fast-paced offense and shut-down defense.
The Panthers opened on offense in the second half, nothing had changed as Panthers lit up the scoreboard when a Panther ran downfield into Rebels end zone as they lit up the scoreboard once again. Panther’s increased their lead 42-0.
Unfortunately, Rebels #47 Tate Heaton, was ejected from the game due to a personal foul for what seemed to be shoving a Panther’s player after the touchdown. According to GHSA rules, a player ejected from a game is not allowed to play the following game. So, it’s possible that Heaton will not be playing in Fridays game against Chestatee High School.
With a 42-0 lead in the third quarter, this gave Coach Allison a perfect opportunity to rotate players in the game. After the Panthers made substitutions, the Rebels offense was able to move the ball into Panther territory.
With each possession, the Rebels seemed to get closer to Panthers end zone. It was in the last few seconds of the 3rd quarter, that the Rebels set themselves up for a potential touchdown. The Rebels ended the 3rd quarter on Panthers 1-yard line.
The first play of the 4th quarter, the Rebels finally found the Panthers end zone and on the scoreboard with the extra point, changing the score 42-7. The Panthers answered the Rebels with a touchdown and the extra point making it 49-7.
A Rebel highlight, late in the game, Rebels #15, Chandler Kendall, got an interception and about a 15-yard gain, which gave the Rebels the ball. In the last 4 minutes of the game, both Panthers and Rebels opted to run a ground game. The game ended with the Panthers winning 49-7 on their home turf.
The Fannin Rebels will pick up next weeks game at 7:30 at home against Chestatee High School. Come out to support our Rebels as they play their 4th game of the season. Let’s go Rebels!

In 2017, Gobble was chosen as the Defensive Player of the Year and chosen as 2nd Team All-Region. Coach Ayers has nominated Gobble for the 2018 All-Region and 2018 All-State teams that are chosen by High School coaches across Georgia. Coach Ayers also stated that if Jack plays his cards right, we could very well be watching Gobble play for a major D-1 program in the future. An interesting fact on Gobble that will probably surprise a few people is that Gobble has played the Violin for 10 years and really enjoys picking it up and having a little fun with the bow.
Jack’s parents Mike and Althea Gobble are excited that their little boy has grown up and has chosen to go to the next level as a student and as an athlete. Family, friends, teammates, and coaches look forward to seeing what the future holds for this awesome young man.
