Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Rome). They blew past the Alexander Cougars 59-0 on the road on Friday. Given the Wolves' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 33rd, while the Cougars are ranked 258th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
The victory made it two in a row for Rome and bumps their season record up to 2-2. As for Alexander, they dropped their record down to 1-4 with the loss, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Rome will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Villa Rica at 7:30 p.m. on October 4th. As for Alexander, they will take on New Manchester at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. New Manchester's defense has only allowed 12.4 points per game this season, so Alexander's offense will have their work cut out for them.
