WOODVILLE — A balanced offense and a stingy defense allowed the Wilkinson County Christian Academy Rams to defeat the Tensas Academy Chiefs 35-16 in a battle of undefeated teams Thursday night in MAIS 8-Man football action.

Andrew Sessions threw touchdown passes of 36 yards to R.J. Fisher and 37 yards to KeKe Anderson while Roderick Bailey had a 57-yard touchdown run to give WCCA a 20-8 lead early in the second quarter.

But as the second quarter came to an end, Chip Tucker connected with Chris Davis on a 66-yard touchdown pass and Morgan Williams ran in for the two-point conversion to cut the Rams’ lead at the half to 20-16. Late in the first quarter, Davis scored on a 53-yard run and ran in for the two-point conversion.

That would be as close as Tensas Academy (5-1) would get. Anderson scored on a 26-yard run nearly midway through the third quarter and had a 57-yard touchdown reception with 5:04 left in the fourth quarter to give the Rams a 35-16 lead.

The game was called with 3:17 left in the game due to lightning from an approaching thunderstorm.
