NATCHEZ — Eight local football players have been chosen to participate in the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools All-Star game scheduled for Dec. 4 at Jackson Preparatory School in Jackson.

The game features the top talents from all across the MAIS, from 8-man to Class AAAA.

Local players Dee Fleming, James Coley and Jardarius Anderson of Cathedral High School, Carlos Woods and Chisum Mardis of Adams County Christian School, Sam Nicholas and Luke Littleton of Wilkinson County Christian Academy and Tyler Caston of Centreville Academy will play in the game.

Cathedral head coach Ron Rushing will also be an assistant coach in the game.

“I’m extremely excited for our players,” Rushing said. “They’ve worked very hard. It is an honor for the whole team to have three all-stars.”

Fleming led Cathedral’s rushing attack finishing the season with 813 yards and 10 touchdowns. Anderson was the Green Wave’s top receiving target with 52 catches for 773 yards and seven touchdowns. And defensively, Coley racked up more than 75 total tackles on the year.

“Our kids played so hard this year,” Rushing said. “They were here every day, led vocally and by example.”

The Green Wave finished the 2015 campaign with a 9-3 record.

ACCS head coach David King was also proud to have two players represent the Rebels in the game.

“Those guys are certainly deserving of being all-stars and will represent the school well,” King said. “They both had outstanding careers and senior seasons at ACCS.”

Woods shined in his final season in blue and white, throwing for more than 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Mardis was a workhorse in the running game between the tackles, racking up more than 500 yards on the year.

“They were leaders on our team and two of the better ball players in the area,” King said. “They will represent us well. They are character kids with lots of ability.”

The Rebels wrapped up the 2015 season with an 11-1 record.
