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.

Andrew Sessions was 9-for-12 passing for 166 yards and three touchdowns. Anderson had six catches for 116 yards and two scores while R.J. Fisher had two catches for 46 yards and one score. Roderick Bailey had nine carries for 79 yards and one touchdown while Anderson had five carries for 57 yards and one touchdown.

Bailey had a team-high 10 tackles and one fumble recovery. Hayden Oliveaux had nine tackles and one fumble recovery. Ben Session had seven tackles and one sack while R.J. Fisher and Ryan Fisher each had six tackles and one sack.

WCCA (7-0) returns to District 2-1A action next Friday when it plays at Rebul Academy.
