The Shorter College Hawks have had their longest break between games going into today’s contest against Belhaven. And while they’ve had some food for thought following their victory over Cumberland last Thursday, their appetite should be bigger than ever. The Hawks (5-4, 2-1 Mid-So...

| Dragons clinch title
 | | Pepperell running back Logan Osborne tries to break away from the Armuchee defense during Friday night’s Region 7-AA game. Ken Caruthers, Rome News-Tribune. | Surprises and new weapons were unveiled at Friday night’s game in Lindale, but one constant remained in the end — the Pepperell Dragons were victorious. After playing Armuchee to a 7-7 tie after the first quarter, Pepperell exploded for 28 points before the half on their way to a 51-20 win over the Indians. The Dragons (8-1, 5-0 in Region 7-AA/A) clinched the sub-region title with the win and will wait until next week to see if a co-region championship is in the cards. Friday’s game saw the Indians (2-7, 0-6) match Pepperell’s speed and overcome adversity early...

| Wolves closer to 6th crown
 | | Rome’s Mike McGill (55) helps wrap up Ridgeland’s Alex Hutchinson during Friday’s game at Barron Stadium. Ryan Smith, Rome News-Tribune. | It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the Ridgeland Panthers are sporting some claw marks after losing a tangle with a pack of Rome Wolves 34-3 Friday night. But doctors might want to check the Panthers for tire treads and burn marks as well after what the Wolves did on offense. Rome rolled up 288 yards rushing, much of it on runs through gaping holes up the middle, and made eight plays of 15 yards or more from scrimmage in the rout. While both teams have clinched playoff spots from Region 7-AAAA, Rome (8-1, 6-0) is in position to win its sixth straight region title and a home be...

| Tigers not caught looking
 | | Model’s Jamal Jasper stiff arms Darlington defender Tyson Betts during the first half of Friday night’s game. RuthAnne Anderson, Rome News-Tribune. | Darlington football coach Tommy Atha was hoping before Friday night’s game that his team was focused on the task at hand — beating Model — and not looking ahead to next week’s showdown at Rockmart. He had his answer by the end of the first quarter. The Tigers sprinted out to a 21-0 lead just 12 minutes into the game, en route to a solid 34-20 win over the visiting Blue Devils on Senior Night at Darlington’s Chris Hunter Stadium. The Tigers (7-2, 4-1) will now get ready for their battle with Rockmart, a game that will determine the final playoff seed in Re...

| Chattooga earns playoff berth by stopping Tigers
 | | Adairsville’s Nick Martin tries to shake off Chattooga’s Jack McCutchins (left) as Indian Justin Foster pursues the play during the Region 7-AA game. Stephen Lindley, Rome News-Tribune. | ADAIRSVILLE — A week after seeing their region title hopes vanish, the Chattooga Indians weren’t about to let their playoff hopes do the same. Led by the efficient quarterback duo of Brett Wilson and Jack McCutchins, Chattooga downed Adairsville 33-14 in a fate-determining 7-AA/B game Friday night at Adairsville. The victory assured Chattooga (6-3, 3-1) of the No. 2 postseason berth from the subregion and the No. 3 overall seed from 7-AA. It also served as sweet atonement for the injury-riddled Indians, who were dealt a discouraging 42-14 loss to Calhoun last week in a game ...
