MOULTIRE, Ga. (WTXL) - Next spring, high schools in the state of Georgia can participate in spring football games. This year, it's just the normal practices with intersquad scrimmages, but when you are one of the best teams in the state of Georgia, let along the country, playing yourself is not a bad test.

Colquitt County is now winners of back to back AAAAAA State Championships, celebrating a 30-0 mark in those two years.

The Packers unveiled three Championship plaques on Tuesday before their spring scrimmage, one for each State Championship season, and one for this year's National title.

The team also received their 2015 State Championship rinds, and everyone proud of what they have accomplished.

"Out of 102 years of football, there's only three teams on there," said head coach Rush Propst, nodding to the Packers Wall of Fame. "1994, 2014, and 2015. It's very impressive what we've done, '14 and '15. To finally get to celebrate the National Championship along with all the other things that we've accomplished the last two years, and to put it into our Wall of Fame, it's special."

Colquitt County opens up their 2016 slate against Mill Creek on August 20th, who they defeated in last year's State Final Four.
