First year head coach Steve Kelly led the Winston Academy Patriots to a 38-12 victory over Leake Saturday night.
The Leake Academy Rebels cracked the scoreboard first with a six yard touchdown rush from Allen Byrd. The following two point conversion shot was no good leaving the score at 6-0.
Winston Academy finally got on the board in the second quarter with a 23 yard touchdown pass from Jay McMillin to Caleb Metts. A McMillin PAT was good as the Patriots took a 7-6 lead.
The Patriots scored again in the third quarter with a 43 yard rush from Scott Peterson followed by a successful PAT.
McMillin kicked a 25 yard field goal later in the quarter making the score 17-6.
Leake came out in the fourth quarter with a three yard touchdown rush from Byrd followed by an unsuccesful PAT leaving the score at 17-12.
This was the last time the Rebels got in the endzone as the Patriots turned up the heat.
It began with a 24 yard touchdown rush from Metts followed by a good PAT. Next came a six yard scoring run from McMillin followed by another good PAT.
The Patriots last score came from a 28 yard touchdown rush from Peterson followed by a McMillin PAT leaving the final score at 38-12.
