Marietta, Pope girls ready to defend cross country titles

The Marietta girls will be trying to win their seventh straight title and the Pope girls will be trying to win their third as they compete in the cross country state championships Friday and Saturday in Carrollton. In Class AAAAAAA girls meet, Harrison joins Marietta as well-positioned to contend for the state title. Both dominated their respective sectionals, with five runners each finishing in the top 10. For Marietta, Alyssa Trevino came in second place individually with a time of 17 minutes, 55.13 seconds. Mary Kate Ninness finished fifth, with Avery Trevino sixth, Anna Caroline Donald eighth and Bailey Turner ninth. On the boys side, Marietta came in sixth, led by Lucas Fortenberry’s 27th-place finish. Marietta coach Jack Coleman said he was happy with how his girls ran last weekend, and they should have a strong chance to contend for the title. “If we can perform with the effort level that we gave Saturday, then we can live with whatever those results are,” said Coleman, whose squad has won eight of the last nine championships. “The girls are hoping to be in the mix and should be in the mix to have a race with Harrison for the state championship.

Floyd County Schools named Georgia Charter System of the Year

Floyd County Schools was named Georgia Charter System of the Year on Wednesday in Athens during the annual Georgia Charter System Conference. The honor recognized the district’s focus on innovation and its ability to deliver a community-centered culture. A charter system is similar to a charter school but on a larger scale, with similar flexibility to reshape its organizational identity, maximize academic efforts, modernize communication channels and unite the district under a shared collaborative front. “We really see this as a teacher award because it’s driven by them,” FCS Assistant Superintendent and Chief Academic Officer John Parker said. “It’s about their focus and dedication every day in the classroom, and how they are helping educate our students.” In addition to receiving the award, FCS leadership presented a featured session, “Success Is Not an Accident,” at the conference, highlighting how aligned strategy and intentional dialogue drive long-term district progress. “Charter flexibility gives us the structure to innovate, but true progress happens when every school and community partner moves together as one unified front,” Parker said. “We used our charter status as an opportunity to rebrand who we are around a single, shared purpose: fostering community success.” There are three different types

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

Cave Spring's historic Fairview School building gets handicap ramp

Cave Spring’s historic Fairview School, one of the oldest remaining structures in Georgia built for the education of Black students, recently received a new front and side porch, which features an accessible ramp. The addition on the 1920s building was made possible by a grant from the Rome Area Heritage Foundation. The RAHF is dedicated to preserving history through historic sites in Rome and Floyd County, so the foundation’s partnership with the Fairview School was a no-brainer for everyone involved in the project. “When we say it is an honor to partner with an organization that is so dedicated to historic preservation as our friends at Fairview — we truly mean that it is an honor,” said Don Walls, co-president of the RAHF board of directors. “Fairview has been a great steward of history and monetary resources, and we look forward with anticipation as they continue to live out a mission of restoration and adaptive reuse.” The grant allowed the nonprofit Fairview-E.S. Brown Heritage Corporation to purchase lumber for the porch, which was constructed by inmates from the Floyd County Prison. This porch was another addition in a decades-long mission to restore the beloved building, which holds a century of

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.
