Dream realized. Goal achieved. State champions.
The Valwood Valiants defeated the Deerfield-Windsor Knights, 28-26, at Mercer University to take the trophy and title back to Valdosta.
There will be a full spread and story on the State Champion Valwood Valiants in our January ITG Magazine, but until then, enjoy these mementos from this dream season.
We were there for every step of the way: every key moment, every action-packed drive, every score, every missed opportunity, every moment of pure joy. From pregame to the championship-sealing field goal attempt as the clock expired, explore the photos and videos below to relive these unforgettable moments for the Valiant faithful.
Congratulations to Coach Ashley Henderson, the players, assistant coaches, cheerleaders, and each and every Valiant supporter, as the Valwood Valiants are the 2015 GISA AAA State Champions!
