Blessed Trinity girls soccer honored after resilient state championship run
Summary
Mayor Kurt Wilson and Roswell officials recognized Blessed Trinity High School’s girls soccer team for winning the state championship, praising a resilient season, team culture and contributions from freshmen and returning players.
Mayor Kurt Wilson introduced Blessed Trinity’s girls soccer state champions and invited Coach Johnny Jackson to describe the team’s turnaround from the previous season. "This was just an absolutely amazing year," Coach Johnny Jackson said, noting the team’s growth in confidence and contributions from several impactful freshmen.
Coach Jackson called the team "resilient," and players and city leaders emphasized team culture and shared leadership rather than reliance on a single star. Several freshmen and seniors introduced themselves by name and position; at least two seniors said they plan to play at the collegiate level, with players naming Georgia State and Rhodes College among next steps.
School and city officials, including members of the council and Blessed Trinity representatives, praised the team’s character and faith-based formation, which several speakers said is part of the school’s approach. Athletic director Ricky Turner and other coaches were noted for contributions to player development; Turner and others recounted game details and the late goals that decided matches.
The presentation was recognition-only; no policy items, funding decisions or formal votes were recorded during the remarks. The focus was on the program’s culture, player development and community pride.
