RAYMOND — With several starters out with either injuries or illnesses, the Adams County Christian School Rebels had to play several second- and third-string players Thursday night at Central Hinds Academy.

And it showed as ACCS was upset by the Cougars 33-19 in the MAIS District 3-5A and regular-season finale for both teams, costing the Rebels a good playoff seed in the Class 5A Playoffs, which begin next Friday night.

The Rebels outgained the Cougars 309 total yards to 260, but five turnovers as well as 11 penalties for 87 yards were too much for them to overcome.

Claven Dunbar threw an 83-yard touchdown pass to Wes Stockstill and Jasin Wesberry added the extra point with 52 seconds left in the first quarter to give ACCS a 7-0 lead.

Central Hinds made it a 7-6 game with 1:31 to go in the first half on a 14-yard TD pass from Ranson Oakes to Tanner Odom, the first of three times the two would hook up for scores, but the two-point conversion pass failed.

After a scoreless third quarter, the Cougars (1-9, 1-3) took the lead for good on an 18-yard pass from Oakes to Odom at the 11:52 mark of the fourth quarter to go ahead 12-7. Collin Hautle scored on a five-yard run with 8:39 remaining and Oakes connected with Odom on a 28-yard TD pass with 8:17 left for a 26-7 lead.

Rhet McDonald scored on a one-yard run for ACCS (2-2 in District 3-5A) with 6:13 to go to make it a 26-13 Central Hinds lead. But the Cougars answered with a three-yard TD run by Hautle with 4:19 left. The Rebels scored with 2:19 remaining on a 24-yard pass from Tripp Cotten to Terrell Tenner.

Dunbar was 4-for-7 passing for 142 yards with one touchdown while Cotton was 4-for-8 for 88 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. Dunbar was the Rebels’ leading rusher with 54 yards on nine carries and had one interception on defense.

Stockstill caught two passes for 129 yards and one TD. Yohan Thompson had two receptions for 59 yards on offense to go with nine tackles and one sack on defense. Kryon Barnes had eight tackles and Dantavious Stampley had seven tackles. Jack Whitehead, Jason Martin, and Cory Sewell each registered six tackles with Sewell also having one-half of a sack.

Next up for ACCS (7-3 overall) is the first round of the MAIS Class 5A Playoffs against an opponent to be determined.
