A road trip to Eastman Thursday evening didn't slow the Southeast Bulloch flag football team down, as the Yellow Jackets raced past Dodge County, 27-0, and into the Division I championship game.

SEB (19-1) will face Columbus High at noon Monday in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta with the opportunity to earn their fourth consecutive state title.

The game, as well as all of the other championship contests,  will be televised live on Georgia Public Broadcasting.

Kayla Adams caught three touchdown passes and the Yellow Jacket defense recorded their third straight shutout in the playoffs.

"Our defense was lights out," Coach Marci Cochran said. "The rushers kept (the Dodge quarterback) contained and did not let her get outside. What a great all-around effort by the team."

Columbus defeated Long County, 19-6, to earn their berth in the final. The Blue Devils (22-6) finished second to Harris County in Area 1 of Division 1. Southeast Bulloch edged Harris County last week, 7-0, in a quarterfinal game in Brooklet. Columbus won a state title in flag football in 2019.

"We'll get some film on Columbus and start preparing a plan," Cochran said.
