The Rome Floyd County High School Football Show (presented by Cox Byington Twyman LLP) is BACK with second-round fire and a GAPPS state championship on deck! Brandon Joseph and Zeke Palermo (sports editor for the Rome News-Tribune) recap first round matchups:

• Despite a loss, Darlington shocked a lot people with a gutsy fight vs. 3A Aquinas.
• Pepperell used a strong run game to best Bremen 28-21 for a second time this season, behind 293 rushing yards, as they advance.
• Rome dominated Lovejoy 47-16 to move onto the 2nd round.
• Unity Christian droped 60 on Harvester Christian — again — to punch their ticket to the GAPPS AA title game.

And they preview 3 huge playoff matchups for this Friday, presented by Georgia Northwestern Technical College:

• The Pepperell Dragons hit the road to battle run-heavy Jasper County in a clock-eating, ground-and-pound war.
• The Rome Wolves host No. 5-ranked Houston County in a top-10 AAAAA clash that feels like it should be a semifinal matchup.
• And the Unity Christian Lions face Lafayette Christian for the GAPPS AA crown Saturday at Northgate High School in Newnan — can the Lions culminate their dominant season with a championship?
