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

Wolves prove worthy of ranking with home split
Some people may have wondered just how good Rome High’s second-year flag football team really was this season. There’s not much reason to doubt anymore. Hosting a pair of state-ranked teams Thursday at Barron Stadium in their biggest test of the year, the Wolves ended up with a split after beating Sequoyah 19-7 in the opener before dropping a narrow 7-0 game to Pope in the nightcap. In the middle game, Pope got by Sequoyah 19-7. Both Pope and Rome were ranked in various media polls this week, and Sequoyah, Pope and Rome were all tied atop the Area 6 standings at 2-0 entering the night. In the GHSA postseason power rankings, Pope was rated No. 6 in Division 4, while Rome was eighth and Sequoyah was ninth. Rome head coach Jared Hughes said this was a good litmus test to see how his team would match up against some of the elite programs in Division 4. “I think the state knows who we are now. I think there were some question marks about our program, being just a second-year team, and even though the second game tonight didn’t turn out the way we had hoped, we know we belong
