Senior-less Model girls team still expecting big season
Even after 21 seasons of leading the same program at the same high school, there’s still a learning curve, and there’s still a chance to encounter first-time situations. For Sally Echols, veteran leader of Model High Lady Blue Devil basketball team, the 2026-27 season provides an opportunity for both. It will be the first time she has a varsity roster without a senior. So while there’s a lot of girls looking to her to learn about the game at this level, Echols will be learning how to deal with so much youth and inexperience. However, it’s not like nobody wearing the light blue and white uniforms will know anything about winning. In 2025-26, Model had basically a sophomore-senior roster that went 18-10, finished runner-up in its region tournament and advanced to the second round of the state playoffs. Some of those making up the now-junior class were significant contributors in both the frontcourt and the backcourt. “A lot of tradition here,” said Echols, who led the program to 10 region championships and had 14 teams win at least one game in the state tournament.

Lassiter romp ends Rome's season
When a victory on the football field in Game No. 10 of a 10-game high school season could go a long way toward getting you into the state playoffs, it’s not surprising that team pulls out all the stops. So yes, at Barron Stadium in Rome Friday, there were onside kickoffs and fake punts. Only, it was the 7-2 Lassiter High Trojans of Marietta using these “trick” plays as a way of building a huge halftime lead on the 3-6 Rome High Wolves. The Trojans won the Region 6-6A battle 42-7 behind the passing arm of sophomore quarterback Caden Jones and his four touchdown passes among the 35 times he threw in the first half alone. In fact, 42-7 was the score heading into halftime and stayed that was through a running clock the entire second half. Lassiter also controlled the turnover margin with two big second-quarter takeaways, and the Trojan special teams not only recovered two onside kickoffs and converted a fourth-down out of punt formation, but it also blocked a Rome field-goal try. Throw in several 15-yard penalties that mainly went against the home Wolves and it was a rather miserable night for football amid a low wind-chill
