From the AJC’s High School Sports blog “Prep Zone”…

Trinity High School’s football team of 1965 will receive state championship rings from the Decatur High Booster Club on Thursday night at Decatur High.

Trinity was the Decatur high school for African-Americans during segregation. The team’s football team, which included Clarence Scott (later an All-Pro cornerback with the Cleveland Browns) and Jack Pitts (a quarterback who signed with Michigan State), won the Class A championship in the old Georgia Interscholastic Association.
