WOODVILLE — Just a week after winning its second straight MAIS Class 2A state baseball championship, Wilkinson County Christian Academy’s varsity baseball team is already racking up postseason accomplishments.
WCCA head baseball coach Kyle White, who led the Rams to an improbable run to the state title after starting the Class 2A South State Playoffs with a 9-10 record before almost running the table in the postseason in finishing 17-11, was named the 2025 All-MAIS Class 2A Coach of the Year.
Four players on the back-to-back South State and State Champion Rams also made the All-MAIS Class 2A Baseball Team. And three of them will be back next year as WCCA will be in Class 1A for at least the 2026 and 2027 seasons.
Senior Jacob Sessions as well as junior Carter Graham both made the team as a utility player. Junior shortstop Tucker Freeman made the team as an infielder. And junior centerfielder Charles Grezaffi made the team as an outfielder.
In the two wins over Calhoun Academy in the state championship series, as the team’s lead-off hitter Grezaffi was a combined 7-for-7 with seven runs batted in, four runs scored, a double in Game 1, and a triple in Game 3. He was even walked twice in Game 3. He also had three stolen bases in the series opener.
Sessions played at an array of positions for WCCA while recovering from injuries throughout the 2025 season. He played in the outfield, at shortstop, and returned to the mound late in the season as a right-handed pitcher.
After blowing a three-run lead in the bottom of the seventh inning in what turned out to be a 6-5 loss at Calhoun Academy in Game 2, Sessions redeemed himself by holding the Cougars to three runs, two of them earned, on just four hits with three strikeouts over five-plus innings as he was the winning pitcher in the Rams’ 9-4 state-title-clinching victory at home.
While Graham primarily played behind home plate as the Rams’ catcher, he also contributed some in the outfield.
