Guyton, Ga. — Effingham Herald photo freelancer Birk Herrath took Rivalry Night to new heights — literally. As the game began, he launched a drone high above The Corral to capture sweeping views of the upgraded stadium as fans began to file in.

It was a beautiful night for football, and the aerial photos show the Mustangs–Rebels matchup like you’ve never seen it before — bold, striking, and eye-popping from every angle. The Rebels capped the night with a 49-21 win over South Effingham.
