Trojans going for championship No. 7 after semifinal smashing

John Milledge Academy football finds itself in familiar territory with the 2026 season entering its final week. For the ninth time in 11 years, the Trojans (12-0) will once again be playing for a GIAA Class AAA state championship after waylaying the visiting Tiftarea Panthers (6-6) by a score of 45-8 Friday. Head coach J.T. Wall and his No. 1-ranked team will try for their seventh state title in those nine trips when they face No. 2 Westfield at Georgia Southern University’s Paulson Stadium at 8 p.m. Friday. “You set this goal at the beginning of the year, so it’s great to see it happen,” Wall said after the semifinal win over Tiftarea. “It’ll be new territory with us going to Statesboro, but it is what it is. These guys get another week of practice and another game to play.” All of the Trojans’ previous excursions to the championship were a short ride over to Mercer University in Macon.
