CENTREVILLE — Casey Haygood had 271 yards of total offense and two touchdowns as the Centreville Academy Tigers held on for a 24-21 win over the Silliman Institute Wildcats in a pivotal MAIS District 6-AA game Friday night.

Haygood threw for 221 yards on 14-for-24 passing, including a 79-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Caston with 8:13 to go in the first quarter. Haygood also had 18 carries for 50 yards with a 1-yard touchdown run just past the midway point of the third quarter.

Brock Andrus’s 23-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the first half gave Centreville a 10-7 halftime lead. Silliman, however, would not go away quietly. Todd Bougious scored on a 78-yard run early in the third quarter to give the Wildcats a 14-10 lead.

After Haygood’s short scoring run gave the lead again, John McDowell scored on a 4-yard run to extend the lead to 24-14. But once again, the Wildcats would get back in the game on a short touchdown run early in the fourth quarter.

Centreville’s defense, however, made sure that Silliman would not leave with a victory.

McDowell had nine carries for 74 yards and Caston had four catches for 113 yards. Parker Doughty led the Tigers’ defense with 10 tackles while Colby Shaw had seven tackles and one interception.

Centreville Academy (5-1, 2-0) stays in district play when it plays at Bowling Green School at 7 p.m. Friday.
