October 17, 1997.  McLemore Field.  Game Conditions:  not yet available

The iron of the north endzone goalpost in McLemore Field was most kind to the Trojans as a potential game-tying kick bounced off the right upright, and Saint James upset the previously undefeated Montgomery Academy in perhaps their biggest victory to date over the Eagles, 14 - 13, putting the Trojans in the driver's seat for its first ever Capital City Conference football championship.

Lucas Harris led the team with 69 yards rushing on 13 carries, including his go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter.  He also led the defense with 17 tackles.  Rick Fidel, whose fumble return touchdown in the first half opened the Saint James scoring, added 11 tackles, and Nathan Horsley contributed 13 tackles to the Trojan defensive cause.
