Colonels knock off Leake with late-game TD

Copiah Academy won the first game of 2014–and gave new head coach Paul Anderson his first win at the school – over Leake Academy on Friday night.  The Colonels trailed most of the game after giving up two early scores to the Rebels, but a strong fourth quarter sealed the win.

The combination of high heat and humidity level was a concern for both sidelines before and during the contest.  Game officials managed the situation as best they could, calling several officials’ times out to give the players a chance to rehydrate at regular intervals.  Cramps eventually caught up with players from both teams late in the game, but further serious heat-related affects were avoided.
