Four interceptions and some untimely penalties by Liberty County helped the Effingham County Rebels to a 35-7 win Friday at Donell Woods Stadium in the high-school football regular-season opener.It was apparent that something was amiss on the Panthers’ sideline minutes prior to the start. All-around athlete Richard LeCounte, junior linebacker Jeremiah Gilbert and starting quarterback Walker Franklin were not dressed to play.Two of the absences were injury related. Gilbert had to sit out due to a concussion, while LeCounte tweaked his shoulder during a massive tackle in last week’s scrimmage and had not yet received medical clearance.
