The Rome Floyd County Football Show, presented by Cox Byington Twyman LLP, is electric as Pepperell and Rome punch tickets to the GHSA semifinals! Hosts Brandon Joseph and Zeke Palermo (sports editor for the Rome News-Tribune) recap a dominant quarterfinal weekend:

• The Pepperell Dragons unleash a 34-0 shutout on Rabun County, with QB Moss Tant slinging for 202 yards and three TDs, Sam Ross hauling in three scores, and a suffocating D forcing turnovers—deepest run since their 1990 title.
• The Rome Wolves rally from a 17-14 1st Quarter deficit to score 17 unanswered points, defeating Jackson County 31-17. Aidan McPherson led the way with 300+ yards and game-changing plays.

Brandon and Zeke also preview what lies ahead in the Semifinals for both teams, presented by Georgia Northwestern Technical College: 

• Pepperell hits the road for a ground-war grudge match vs. unbeaten Worth County this Friday—can the Dragons' O-line and multi-threat attack shock again? 
• Rome gets an unexpected bye amid GHSA drama (Gainesville's appeal delays their side of the bracket), awaiting the Langston Hughes-Gainesville winner in a rescheduled clash.
