Carrollton, the No. 2 team in our state poll, is looking to go 3-0 after opening the season with wins over Woodward Academy, 24-14, and Columbia, 35-7. The Trojans and star quarterback Julian Lewis, however, they take are taking on a motivated squad this week in Rome.

The Wolves, ranked No. 21 this week, have had to wait two long weeks to play their season opener after several players were injured when the team bus was hit by another vehicle and overturned while returning from a scrimmage. Everyone on the bus was transported to the hospital and several sustained injuries. This caused the cancellation of the team's opening game with Creekside and the Wolves had a schedule bye last week. Fortunately, all of the players have returned to the field and Rome is excited to get its season going.
