Model makes history in dominant win
The Model High Blue Devils didn’t just win Friday — they made football history. The No. 9-ranked Model squad dominated the host Darlington Tigers in all three phases of the game, romping over the Tigers 54-21 at Chris Hunter Stadium. The victory not only gave the Blue Devils (7-1 overall, 3-1 in Region 6-AA) their most regular season wins in a decade, but it also snapped a 14-game losing streak to the Tigers that spanned almost three decades. The last time Model beat Darlington was in 1997, a 15-14 overtime win. And the last time the Blue Devils beat the Tigers on the road? The “Miami Vice” theme song was No. 1 on the charts — November of 1985. It was the most points a Model team had ever scored against Darlington, and it was the biggest margin of victory the Blue Devils have ever had over the Tigers in the 32-game series between the teams that dates back to 1972. Not only did Model snap its long losing streak to Darlington, but it kept alive a chance to win a region championship. The seven wins so far are the most for a Blue Devils team since 2016. Model will

Rome 38, River Ridge 21
Time to throw away the donut, the one that had been grown stale sitting under Rome High School's football win total since Aug. 21. The Wolves basically earned their first win under new head coach Bill Stewart in the 2026 season in the first half Friday, opposition coming from another winless group from Region 6-6A, the River Ridge Knights. The 24-0 halftime cushion Rome enjoyed — which grew to 31 early in the second half — got a little uncomfortable halfway through the fourth quarter. With a bruising touchdown run of 38 yards from Ja'ckijay Robinson in a back-up role, the Wolves were able to get back into celebratory mode and count down the last seconds of a 38-21 victory. The win came on a night of even more celebration of Rome football — the greatest victory of the Wolves era — for the 10-year anniversary of the 2016 state champions. The Barron Stadium video screen showed portions of the win over Buford in Atlanta, and players were introduced along with former head coach John Reid. Rome's struggles in 2026 came to a halt for one night as Stewart used a rotation at quarterback with Zayden Winston and Ja'Tavious Smith
