"Almost time": Colorado QB signee Julian Lewis delivers a powerful message to inspire Carrollton before Georgia State Championship clash

Julian Lewis, the Carrollton High School's star quarterback will lead his team on Wednesday against the Grayson Rams in the Georgia State Championship game. The Trojans are unbeaten this season, thanks in large part to their talented quarterback.

The five-star recruit has tallied 3,465 yards and 46 touchdowns while throwing just five interceptions. In the Trojans' previous playoff game against Buford, the young signal-caller threw for 193 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while completing 15 of his 18 pass attempts.

Ahead of the all-important Championship game, Lewis took to Twitter to share a motivational message.

"ONE MORE TIME FOR THE CITY! Almost Time," Lewis tweeted.

Grayson will pose a significant challenge to Carrolloton. The Rams are 13-1 this season and have been on a roll after their season-opening loss to the Collins Hill Eagles.

The Rams took care of the Douglas County Tigers in their latest game on the back of their quarterback Travis Burgess, who threw for 252 yards and one touchdown.

Lewis & Co. will hope to continue their winning streak and win the state championship for the first time since 1998.
