WINNSBORO, La. — The Wilkinson County Christian Academy Rams moved one step closer to another district championship as they defeated the Franklin Academy Cougars 38-6 Friday night to stay undefeated in MAIS 8-Man District 3-1A.
Senior quarterback Andrew Sessions accounted for three touchdowns — two through the air and one on the ground — while junior wide receiver Ryan Fisher had a pair of long touchdown runs.
WCCA jumped out to an 18-0 lead in the first quarter on a 37-yard touchdown run by Fisher with 8:07 to go, a nine-yard scoring run by Sessions at the 4:25 mark, and a 65-yard TD pass from Sessions to Nathan Mudd with 1:24 remaining. That was Mudd’s only reception of the game.
