CENTREVILLE — In recent years, when Centreville Academy and Brookhaven Academy have faced each other, the outcome has been decided by either a game-winning touchdown or a game-saving tackle.

But on Friday night, the battle between two of the top teams in MAIS Class AA — the third-ranked Cougars and the fourth-ranked Tigers — was anything but another instant classic.

Centreville saw to that quickly. Led by Tyler Towles, Cliff Hurst and Colton Terrell, the Tigers jumped out to a 28-0 lead and rolled to a 41-14 win over Brookhaven Academy.

Centreville Academy travels to Natchez to take on Adams County Christian School next Friday at 7 p.m.

WCCA 47,

Claiborne Academy 7

WOODVILLE — Tramel McKinsey had 17 carries for 112 yards and three touchdowns as the Wilkinson County Christian Academy Rams defeated the Claiborne Academy Rebels Friday night in MAIS South Central A (District 3-A) action.

Quincy Thompson led the Rams’ defense with 12 tackles and two sacks while Trenton Hall and Kaleb Sterling each had eight tackles. WCCA held Claiborne Academy (2-3, 2-2) to five rushing yards on 22 carries and 103 yards of total offense.

WCCA steps out of district play next Friday when it hosts Heidelberg Academy for homecoming with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

South Pike 6,

Jefferson County 0

MAGNOLIA — South Pike’s backup quarterback picked up a fumble and scored on a quarterback keeper with about 4:00 left in the ball game to give the Eagles a hard-fought win over the Jefferson County Tigers Friday night.

“We had several opportunities to score. The defense played well. We were inside the 10-yard line six times and couldn’t score,” Jefferson County head coach James Herrington said. “We had close to 400 yards tonight. We had opportunities to go up well ahead, and it came back and bit us.”

Jefferson County (1-5) opens up Region 7-3A action next Friday when it plays at Crystal Springs at 7:30 p.m.
