McEachern completes undefeated region schedule

KENNESAW — McEachern capped an undefeated region campaign Friday with a dominant 57-0 victory over Kennesaw Mountain, recording its first shutout of the season as the Indians prepared for the state playoffs. The Indians wasted little time taking control, scoring on its opening possession when quarterback Coby Pittman connected with Zyon Robinson on a 7-yard touchdown pass. Pittman added a 29-yard touchdown run later in the first quarter, giving the Indians a 14-0 lead. McEachern extended its advantage when kicker Wes Sheehan connected on a field goal, which was followed by a 66-yard touchdown pass from Pittman to Robinson. Pittman added a 3-yard touchdown run before halftime, sending the Indians into the break with a 29-0 lead. The Indians continued their offensive success in the third quarter. Pittman connected with Jarvaris Reed Jr. on a 32-yard touchdown pass, and James Smith added a 1-yard scoring run to extend the lead to 43-0. Jarvis Nance scored on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter before backup quarterback Brentoni James threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to complete the scoring. While McEachern's offense found success throughout the night, its defense delivered an equally impressive performance, holding Kennesaw Mountain scoreless for all four quarters.

Smith Road Christian retreat proposal hits setback, but could return in January

A proposal to build a Christian retreat and camp on Smith Road ran into a setback when the Rome-Floyd Planning Commission recommended denying a special-use permit for the project. Several Smith Road residents raised concerns during Thursday’s meeting about traffic on the narrow, winding road, emergency vehicle access, stormwater runoff and the loss of trees. A revised site plan also left residents and county reviewers without enough time to evaluate the changes. The commission recommended denial without prejudice, allowing the applicants to return with a revised request. The Floyd County Commission, which makes the final decision, is scheduled to hold a public hearing Nov. 24. The request covers property on Smith Road near Mount Alto, where applicants Yound and Susan Chang have proposed Christian educational programs, marriage and family counseling, and retreat accommodations. Planning Director Brice Wood said his office received an updated site plan only about a week before the meeting, after neighbors had been provided an older version of the proposal. “We’re not confident that it’s reasonable to expect people to come up with questions or concerns almost on the fly,” Wood said. The latest plan for Christian Mission Camp shows seven retreat buildings of about 4,225 square

Cobb Commission to consider open container district, drainage and road projects

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners will consider expanding the boundaries of an open container district at The Battery Atlanta during its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday morning. According to the agenda item, the existing open container district would be expanded to encompass The Henry, a new mixed-use high-rise development named for baseball legend Henry “Hank” Aaron. The open container district’s expansion would also include the pedestrian bridge connecting The Henry to the rest of the Battery. An open container district allows adults to legally carry and consume alcoholic beverages on public sidewalks, streets and plazas. Goldenrod Companies, one of the developers involved in the project, requested the open container district be expanded to include The Henry to benefit businesses and restaurants that will occupy parts of the building, and to connect it with the wider offerings of the Battery. The item is on the consent agenda. Contracts for drainage and road improvements In other business, the board is set to award a series of contracts for drainage improvement projects around the county. The first agreement would be with Kennesaw-based Advanced Sports Construction LLC for drainage system repairs on Wynford Commons, located near Villa Rica Road near Marietta. According to the
