Wolves take 23-7 win in rematch at The Rock, Jackets back in action this Friday

Check out this premiere video from the forthcoming Polksportswire Video on Polksportswire.com, launching later this week.

Rockmart took at 23-7 loss to open the season against Rome, but have the opportunity to bounce back again this week as they head to Cedartown looking for their fourth win in a row over the Bulldogs.

Some notes from the game:

• Rockmart’s defense continues to look tough up front and can make big plays, and the secondary featuring playmakers like Jakari Clark (see video) will give the Jackets a chance to succeed throughout the rest of the year, especially in region play (where it matters.

• Jackets QB JD Davis is just as good on the run as he is on the pass, but beware: he’ll need blockers up front to bring on Rockmart victories week after week.

• Brent Washington is just as good on defense as he is on offense, and will likely be a key factor against the Bulldogs offense coming up this week.

• The Wolves are a team to be reckoned with in 2021.

Rockmart, coming off a win over Bremen and a loss to Carrollton in the pre-season, looks to get revenge for the season opener loss on the road at Cedartown in the annual Battle of Polk County rivalry game. The Jackets hold a three-game winning streak from 2018 through 2020 and look to extend it to four.

Cedartown holds the overall win record in the game at 51-25-2. Cedartown took a win over 7-A Denmark last Friday on the road 7-3 with a late pick six against the Danes.
