Jefferson’s upset win over seventh-ranked Washington-Wilkes on Friday did more than send a message to the rest of the state — it also set up a showdown between Region 8-AA’s two frontrunners at the midway point of the season. The Dragons, who used dominating defense and a balanced offense to pick apart Washington-Wilkes 31-0, will face upstart Rabun County on Friday in Tiger. Both teams are 2-0 in region and 4-1 overall.
