Miller Puckett ran for two scores and caught a pass from Cade Lott for a third touchdown, and Lott and Parker Turner combined on an “Oh no … oh yes” moment to lift Heritage Academy to a 42-0 victory against Oak Hill Academy in a Mississippi Association of Independent Schools game on Homecoming in Columbus.
The victory was the sixth in a row in the series for Heritage Academy dating back to 2006.
Oak Hill Academy (3-5) earned its only first down on a pass interference penalty in the fourth quarter. The Raiders, who have lost three in a row, finished with -17 yards offense. Fifteen of their 22 running plays went for negative yards. The Raiders lost two of six fumbles.
The victory helped Heritage Academy (3-5) erase the sting of a 14-13 loss to Magnolia Heights last week in Senatobia. That game could have helped the Patriots (1-2 MAIS Class AAA, District 1, Division II) solidify a hold on a playoff spot. Now Heritage Academy, which has a bye next week, will have to beat Washington School and Pillow Academy and get some help to forge a three-way tie with Washington School and Magnolia Heights to determine which two teams will advance to the playoffs.
