WOODVILLE — Devin Choate led Oak Forest Academy with a game-high 23 points and the Yellow Jackets needed all of them as they held on for a 41-37 win over the Wilkinson County Christian Academy Rams Monday night.

WCCA could have folded the tent after being outscored by Oak Forest 14-7 in the second quarter to go in halftime trailing the Yellow Jackets 22-13. But the Rams responded with a 14-8 advantage in the third quarter to make it a 30-27 game.

But the Yellow Jackets managed to keep the Rams at bay with 11 points in the fourth quarter to WCCA’s 10 points.

The Rams were led by Dra’ Tolliver with 12 points and Hayden Patterson added 10 points.

WCCA (6-11 overall, 6-1 in MAIS District 6-A) plays at Chamberlain-Hunt Academy Thursday night in the district finale.
