Don't miss the bonus Thursday edition of GPB Sports' Football Fridays in Georgia as the No. 4 Gainesville Red Elephants meet the No. 5 Rome Wolves in Class 5A semifinals.
On this penultimate Football Fridays in Georgia podcast, you join the crew as they preview a packed week of GHSA high school football, from the Gainesville vs. Rome 5A semifinal at Barron Stadium to the Buford vs. Carrollton clash for the 6A state title. Gainesville head coach Josh Niblett and Rome head coach John Reid share how their teams handled an unusual playoff delay, how they build program culture from second grade through varsity, and what it takes to survive a schedule full of state contenders.
This week’s Football Fridays in Georgia presentation is twice as a nice as usual, as GPB Sports will broadcast a semifinal doubleheader from Atlanta’s Lakewood Stadium.
When we last saw the Rome Wolves it was December 15, 2017, and they were howling after a 38-0 shutout victory over Warner Robins to win their second consecutive class 5A state championship.
