NATCHEZ — The fifth- and sixth-grade J.E. Hicks Distributing team finished their season off 9-0 with a 29-13 win against Guedon Farms in the AYA championship game played at Adams County Christian School Tuesday.

But most importantly, J.E. Hicks head coach Keith Mallett said, he was a good teammate as well.

“All season we have been teaching them about playing unselfish and tough defense and they did that tonight,” Mallett said.

Hicks Rollins scored all five of J.E. Hicks’ first-quarter points to lead 5-2, but the lead was stretched significantly in the second quarter as their defense didn’t allow Guedon Farms to score a single point to go ahead 11-2 at halftime,

But Guedon Farms didn’t go away easy as it went on a 5-0 run to start the second half when Jonathan Ratcliff hit a long three-pointer, 11-7.

But J.E. Hicks responded with a 6-1 run to go into the fourth quarter ahead 17-8 and cruise to a 29-13 win.
