Southern Columbia entered 2019 as the No. 1 team in the High School Football America Small Schools Top 25. Friday, the Tigers beat Avonworth 74-7 in the 2A final to capture the school’s third straight state championship and 10th overall that should land SC in the same spot it started when the final Small Schools Top 25 is released later this month.
