Columbia’s football team finished its season with two consecutive losses and failed to make the playoffs. Already eliminated from the postseason, the Eagles (5-5) closed out their regular season with a 14-13 loss to Grady. Nathaniel Anthony and Brian Holloway had touchdown runs to put the Eagles up 13-0 in the first quarter, but Grady came back to take a 14-13 halftime lead. Both defenses stiffened in the second half and the Grey Knights held on for the win. Columbia was a coming off a 20-14 overtime loss to McNair the previous week. The Eagles got the ball first in overtime but could not score. Eagle head coach Kevin Latham commented on his team’s season. “It was disappointing in that our three losses before the McNair game, we didn’t really compete in any of those three losses,” Latham said. … The reigning Class 4A boys state basketball champions will not defend their crown this year, as the Eagles will be participating in Class 3A. The Eagles will face a schedule that includes new Region 5 mate Dunwoody and a Thanksgiving Tournament in the Bahamas.
