Columbia Academy football team is 8-0 for the first time in nearly 50 years after securing its fourth shutout win in its last five games, as reported by WDAM 7 Sports.
Hattiesburg Laurel, MS, October 20, 2026 —
Columbia Academy’s football team has started the season 8-0 for the first time in nearly 50 years, according to WDAM 7 Sports. The team reached the mark after recording its fourth shutout victory in its last five games.
The reported figures describe both an unbeaten start and a recent run of defensive results. A shutout means the opponent did not score in that game; the summary does not provide the scores or identify the opponents in the four shutout wins.
The nearly 50-year comparison places the current start among the program’s notable records, but the exact year of the previous 8-0 start was not provided. The report summary also does not state the date of the latest game, the team’s schedule, or what comes next.
No player or coach names, individual statistics, or comments were included in the information provided. As a result, the reported milestone is limited to the team’s 8-0 record and its four shutouts in five games. Further details about how the latest win unfolded were not provided.
WDAM 7 Sports is the cited source for the report. The available information does not specify whether the 8-0 mark is the best start in the program’s history or provide additional historical records beyond the comparison to nearly 50 years ago.
