Pepperell (4-2) and Rockmart (4-2) go head to head this Friday at 7:30 PM. Both teams are strolling into their matchup after big wins in their previous games.
Pepperell picked up a decisive 'W' against Model two weeks ago, finishing up at 49 - 0. At 49 points, that marked Pepperell's largest margin of victory so far this year.
Meanwhile, Rockmart can now show off three landslide victories after its game two weeks ago. It put the hurt on Chattooga two weeks ago with a conclusive 48 - 0 victory. Junior Zabrion Whatley didn't have many carries in the previous game, but he had more touches this time and made them count as he ran for 180 yards and punched in three touchdowns. Whatley has been a consistent playmaker for Rockmart as this was the 6th good game in a row from him.
The last time they met, Pepperell was the 31 - 10 victor. This time, their match is expected to be much closer since they have similar state rankings (Pepperell at 234th, Rockmart at 232nd). The rematch might be a little tougher for Pepperell since the team will be on Rockmart's home field this time. We'll soon find out whether that makes a difference or not.
