GALLMAN — The Adams County Christian School Rebels bounced back from its first loss of the season in resounding fashion as they defeated the Copiah Academy Colonels 35-10 Friday night in MAIS District 3-5A action.

The first half was a competitive one between the two teams. And it did not take long for Copiah Academy to strike first when Nathan Steele returned the opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown. Ty Hollingsworth’s extra point gave the Colonels a 7-0 lead just 13 seconds into the game.

ACCS got on the scoreboard with 1:12 to go in the first quarter on D.J. Stampley’s six-yard touchdown run, but the try for two points on a pass failed and the Rebels trailed 7-6.

But that would as close as Copiah Academy (2-3, 1-1) would get. Stampley scored on a 15-yard run late in the third quarter and threw a 31-yard TD pass to VJ Knight early in the fourth quarter. Rhett McDonald scored on a four-yard run with 5:12 remaining.

Stampley had 13 carries for 107 yards and three touchdowns while Claven Dunbar had 10 carries for 52 yards on offense and an interception on defense. McDonald had eight carries for 35 yards on offense and four tackles on defense.
