Warner Robins, GA The Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) Titans made their mark in their inaugural season as an NJCAA Division I football program, capping off the year with an resounding 48-0 victory over the Birmingham Lizards on Saturday, November 16. Finishing with a 10-1 overall record, the Titans proved their dominance, including an undefeated 8-0 record at home and an eight-game win streak to close out the season. 

The Titans wasted no time making a statement, opening the season with a 75-0 blowout over River City Prep. The team followed up with a string of impressive wins, including a hard-fought 7-6 victory over Clayton State on September 28 and a 42-0 shutout in the Homecoming game against River City Prep on October 26. Despite a tough loss at nationally ranked Georgia Military College on September 14, the Titans responded with a commanding performance for the rest of the season. 

Offensively, the Titans averaged 33.9 points per game, piling up 272.2 yards per game—143.2 through the air and 129.0 on the ground. On defense, CGTC was a brick wall, holding opponents to just 93.8 yards per game and allowing only 12.9 points per contest. The defense shut down opposing running backs, allowing just 43.7 yards per game on the ground, and suffocated passing games, holding teams to 50.1 yards per game through the air. 

"We had a blessed season with a 10-1 record," said Head Coach, Kato Hitson. "We never stopped grinding here at CGTC, and this is just the beginning. It's been a blessed and resilient season, and we're looking forward to next season." 

Sophomores from both the football and cheer teams were recognized during the final home game, celebrating their hard work and contributions to the team's success.

Strongside linebacker JonMichael Breaux reflected on the season saying the season went great. 

"I'm not going to lie. We just finished 10-1 and closed out with a dominant 48-0 win. Everyone put in the work. It was an incredible experience this season being a Titan." 

CGTC's first season in the NJCAA Division I ranks has set the bar high for the future. With hard-hitting defense, explosive offense, and an unbreakable team mentality, the Titans proved they belong on the biggest stage. As the team looks ahead to next season, one thing is clear: the Titans are only getting started.
