McCOMB &045; With Glenn Williams having to leave the game with a bloody nose in the fourth quarter, it appeared that the Adams Christian Rebels would blow a big lead.

But ACCS held on for a 68-64 win over the Parklane Pioneers Friday night in a big win for the Rebels in MPSA District 2-AAA after falling to defending Overall champion Hillcrest last Friday night.

Williams had 13 points before going out. Luke Ogden and Dustin Case led the Rebels with 14 points each.

&uot;It was very important for us to get in the win column in district,&uot; Rebels head coach John Gray said. &uot;If we can get one win in conference, Central Private or Lamar, it would help us.&uot;

The Rebels won despite Parklane’s Benton Turnage burning the nets for 30 points.

ACCS (11-2, 4-1) got off to a shaky start on defense as Parklane (5-8, 2-3) jumped out to an 18-15 lead at the end of the first quarter.

But the Rebels took command in the second quarter, outscoring the Pioneers 22-13 to take a 37-31 halftime lead.

&uot;We played real sluggish early,&uot; Gray said. &uot;Starting about midway through the first quarter, we played extremely good as a team until about midway through the fourth quarter.&uot;

ACCS kept the pressure on Parklane in the third quarter as the Rebels increased their lead to 60-45 going into the fourth quarter.

S. Pike 104, Natchez 90 (OT)

MAGNOLIA &045; Kedrick Herring scored a game-high 37 points and the Eagles outscored the Bulldogs 20-6 in the overtime period for the hard-fough 14 point win in an exciting game Tuesday night.

Trailing 63-54 after three quarters, Natchez (5-7) outscored South Pike 30-21 in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime, but the Bulldogs could not stop the Eagles in the extra session.

Tryon Wilson led the Bulldogs with 20 points.

Harrisonburg 68, Monterey 40

MONTEREY,&160;La. &045; The Bulldogs actually trailed in this District 3-B contest at the end of the first quarter before pulling away from the Wolves for the lopsided win Tuesday night.

Harrisonburg (19-10, 1-1) trailed Monterey (6-14, 0-2) 15-10 after one quarter of play before the Bulldogs outscored the Wolves 18-7 in the second quarter for a 28-22 halftime lead en route to the victory.

Tensas 69, Huntington 32

FERRIDAY, La. &045; If it wasn’t the starting five the Hounds had to deal with, it was Tensas’ backups extending leads and not missing a beat from the first teamers.

All 10 Chief players scored at least a bucket, led by Tyler White’s 17 points in a district 7-A showdown Tensas controlled from the opening minutes.

&uot;Being able to rotate really allows us to pressure teams more. If we couldn’t do that I don’t know if I’d be able to pressure as much,&uot; Tensas head coach Chris Jacobs said. &uot;It also allows me to talk to my players. This is the first time in five or six years we’ve been able to go this deep.&uot;

The fresh bodies, who played the final 3 1/2 minutes of the first period and last four of the second period, either held the rope

or expanded a lead that was once 20 points to 23 by the break.

The Hounds struggled to maintain possession, sending passes airborne out of bounds or turning the rock over due to Tensas’ full-court press defense.

West Lincoln 46, Cathedral 36

BROOKHAVEN &045; The Green Wave saw the momentum they had built going into the half dissipate in the third period when Cathedral struggled to get on track offensively.

After closing to within three, the Green Wave got out of sync offensively, rushing shots and abandoning the inside game.

&uot;It was just a good defensive game. We got behind early, but had a good run there in the second quarter,&uot; Cathedral assistant coach Peter Arnold said. &uot;In the third we got a little impatient on offense. That was the game right there.&uot;
