What were the tie games in the 2006 finals that prompted the GHSA to abolish co-champions and require overtime to settle title games? And what were the only previous overtime games in the state finals? Hint: They occurred in 2010 and 2011 and involved the same two schools, each winning once. (Answer Tuesday)

Answer to Friday's question: The first two schools to complete back-to-back 15-0 seasons were East Rome (1977-78) and West Rome (1982-83).
