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

Bucs reload with length, captains who waited their turn
A year ago, plenty of people figured the Hoover High School boys basketball team had finally run out of steam. The Buccaneers had won three straight Class 7A championships and graduated the core of the 35-0 team that finished the run. Instead of fading, Hoover went 25-11, won two games at the Northeast Regional, beat Fairhope in the state semifinals and played Tuscaloosa County for a fourth consecutive title before falling 65-54.
