Rome 42, Ware County 13

Friday’s quarterfinals matchup at Barron Stadium ended with a 42-13 blowout victory for the host Rome Wolves.

Rome cruised to a 21-6 lead at the half and poured onto the lead by outscoring the Gators 21-7 in the second half. The 11-2 Wolves sit a win away from matching the school record for most wins in a season.
