Tallulah Academy runs past WCCA for second straight win

Published 10:49 am Sunday, September 22, 2024

It took Tallulah Academy a minute to get going Friday night, but once it did there was nothing that could stop it — certainly not Wilkinson County Christian Academy.

J.T. McDaniel had 81 of Tallulah’s 260 rushing yards, and scored two touchdowns as the Trojans rolled past WCCA 38-12.

Tallulah (5-1) scored 32 unanswered points after falling behind 12-6 in the first quarter.
