Highlights:  St. James' greatest football season to date came to an unlucky end in game number 13 as they traveled to Pickens County for the first time ever and fought hard in a 21-14 defeat to Carrollton.  Carrollton, a team which had faced primarily 3A and 4A teams in the regular season, held off the determined Trojans on a cool rainy late fall evening.

Dan Taylor, who led Carrollton with 80 yards rushing, scored twice, including the game-winning touchdown in the last minute of the game.  Carrollton's only four first downs in the second half were on the final scoring drive of 79 yards.  James Brown runs of 21 and 22 yards were the key plays on that final drive, the 22 yard run advanced the ball to the Trojan 3, where Taylor scored on the next play.  Carrollton rushed for 150 yards in the slop, while the Trojans ran for 144, 110 of those on Johnny Redding's 11 carries.  His two final game touchdowns gave him a total of 21 touchdowns on the season, 19 of those on the ground.

Even though the Trojans went down to defeat, they still celebrated an 11 - 2 season, their greatest yet.
