Darlington's repeat road quite bumpy
The celebrations ended months ago. Now, what Darlington School boys basketball coach Nathan West put in front of his Tigers as defending GHSA Private boys state champions looks like a championship game each and every night. That would include a preseason scrimmage Darlington played on Halloween afternoon at Van Es Arena against a solid south Georgia name on the hardwood, Tift County High. The Tigers won 61-56 giving the home crowd an advanced look at what Darlington plans to show several others all the way to March. “That’s in the past. That’s history,” said West about Darlington’s first-ever state championship win in boys basketball — 53-50 over Holy Innocents’ at the Macon Coliseum — to end the Tigers’ season at 30-2. “It’s a new year. We have a new group. We have guys playing different roles. We have to put the history behind us and get focused on this year. I thought (the scrimmage) was a good start to that.” West only lost three senior starters, two of which signed to play college basketball: Christian Teasley and Cam Selig. The other was Brent Bell. There were seven Tigers dressed out for the scrimmage who played on the championship team plus

Barron Stadium facing potential $325,000 video board replacement
Barron Stadium could be facing a $325,000 expense to replace its aging video board, prompting officials to ask the city of Rome to consider the project in future budget discussions. During a recent General Administration Committee meeting, Rome City Schools Assistant Superintendent Dennis Drummond told commissioners the video board at the city-owned stadium, installed in August 2018, is showing its age after more than eight years of operation. "It's nearing the end of its life," Drummond said. The 36-by-20-foot video screen, which features an integrated scoreboard, was installed ahead of the 2018 football season for $249,000. The project was funded through a 2017 city special purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST). Drummond said officials obtained a quote at the end of June estimating the cost of updating the video board at $325,000. He explained that the equipment operates around the clock, contributing to its wear over time. While the original video board was funded through SPLOST, City Finance Director Toni Rhinehart said there are no remaining SPLOST funds specifically set aside for improvements at Barron Stadium. Although the stadium has several other infrastructure needs, Drummond identified the video board as the most immediate concern. Other improvements that could be needed

Rome pulls away from Pope in the second half
(Editor’s note: According to AJC.com, Douglas County High made no further appeals to the Georgia High School Association’s ruling on two ineligible players, meaning the Tigers must forfeit three football wins in September, GHSA executive director Tim Scott confirmed Thursday. That includes a win over Rome High School Sept. 25, and so the Wolves’ season record is now 3-6). As Pope took the field for their final regular-season game at Greyhound Stadium, 47 seniors were hoping to make the occasion a special one. Ultimately, the Greyhounds weren’t able to overcome an injury to starting quarterback Hudson Marinko, falling 35-7 to Rome in their penultimate Region 6-6A game. Two touchdowns for Rome in the first three plays from scrimmage put Pope on the back foot early, and after Marinko’s injury nearing the end of the first half, the Wolves’ defense dominated down the stretch, as Pope had just 10 rushing yards for the game. Heading into the night, both teams likely needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive under the new PSR system. Rome (No. 42) sat six spots higher than Pope (No. 48), but the Wolves were the ones that would bolster their resume. Rome had success running

Rome pulls away from Pope in the second half
MARIETTA -- As Pope took the field for their final regular-season game at Matt Hobby Field, 47 seniors were hoping to make the occasion a special one. Ultimately, the Greyhounds were unable to overcome an injury to starting quarterback Hudson Marinko, falling 35-7 to Rome in their penultimate Region 6AAAAAA game. “We missed a wheel route (for a touchdown), we missed some opportunities to score,” Pope coach Sean O’Sullivan said. “We didn’t take care of opportunities early on, and (Rome’s) been playing hard all year.” Two touchdowns for Rome (2-7, 2-4) in the first three plays from scrimmage put Pope on the back foot early, and after Marinko’s injury near the end of the first half, the Wolves’ defense dominated down the stretch, as Pope (3-6, 2-4) had just 10 rushing yards for the game. “We didn’t capitalize on some stuff (in the run game),” O’Sullivan said. “Nobody’s been able to run the ball inside on them this year.” Heading into the night, both teams likely needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive under the new postseason ranking system. Rome (No. 42) sat six spots higher than Pope (No. 48), but the Wolves were the ones that bolstered
