Archer survives tough region for state playoff trip

When the Class AAAAAAA high school brackets were finalized last weekend, Archer and North Cobb drew a familiar opponent in the first round. The two teams played each other the previous two years in the regular season, so Friday’s state playoff matchup makes it three straight seasons. North Cobb won both previous meetings, 28-14 at home in 2025 and 49-21 at Archer in 2024. Archer reached the postseason while navigating an incredibly tough schedule that included No. 3 overall seed Carrollton before a region slate that featured No. 2 Newton, No. 12 Grayson and No. 19 South Gwinnett. The Tigers were off last week after a 49-23 loss at Newton in Game 10. After losing record-breaking Jordan Do to graduation off last season’s team, Archer still leans heavily on its quarterback, Jamal Ambler. The junior has 1,797 passing yards and 17 TDs, along with 241 rushing yards and three TDs. His top targets are Robbie Dunn Jr. (65 catches, 722 yards, nine TDs), Avery Booth (34-433-3), Jayden Davis (24-312-3) and Gary Isaac (23-175-4). Archer’s defensive playmakers include Joshua Booker (68 tackles, three for losses, five caused fumbles), Kevin Gwibuka (65 tackles, three for losses, four interceptions, two caused fumbles, one

Planning Commission backs proposed RV park on Kraftsman Road

A proposal to turn part of the former Kraftsman Club golf course into a 50-space recreational vehicle park received a favorable recommendation from the Rome-Floyd Planning Commission despite concerns about traffic, septic systems and the potential impact on nearby residents. The commission voted Thursday to recommend approval of a special use permit for the property at 284 Kraftsman Road. The Floyd County Commission, which makes the final decision, is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the permit Nov. 24 at 6 p.m. in the Community Room of the Floyd County Administration Building, 12 E. Fourth Ave. Property owner Kerry Brown is seeking permission to develop the RV park on land zoned suburban residential, which allows RV parks with a special use permit. Brown told commissioners he has owned the property for about 10 years and believes the park could provide accommodations for workers coming to Floyd County for industrial and construction projects. When commissioners asked how many of the 50 spaces he expects to fill, Brown said demand would depend on activity at nearby industrial facilities.
