If Rome was riding high fresh off their 65-31 takedown of Lithia Springs on Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Wolves lost to the Calhoun Yellow Jackets at home by a 58-43 margin on Monday. The Wolves were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Yellow Jackets apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in December of 2023.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Calhoun to victory, but perhaps none more so than Trey Perkins, who shot 83% from the field en route to 10 points and eight rebounds. Perkins is on a roll when it comes to boards, as he's now pulled down eight or more in each of the last three games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Case Shropshire, who posted seven points and three steals.
Rome has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-9 record this season. As for Calhoun, their win bumped their record up to 12-2.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Rome won't have much time to rest: their next contest is against East Paulding at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Wolves will be up against the Raiders' rather soft defense (which has allowed 58.13 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Calhoun, they will also get right back to it: they'll square off against LaFayette at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Ramblers will roll in looking for their fourth straight victory, something the Yellow Jackets surely won't give up without a fight.
