It was soggy due to rainfall, and it was delayed due to lightning, but the 2024 season finale of Copiah-Lincoln CC football went into the books as a win on Thursday for the Wolves as they dispatched visiting Northeast Mississippi 44-14 in Wesson.

The win makes Co-Lin 5-4 on the season, a third straight year for the Wolves to finish above .500 for longtime head coach Glenn Davis.

CLCC sophomore quarterback Will Loy, playing his final game in Stone Stadium after a decorated high school career for the Wesson Cobras, finished with 97 passing yards on 5-of-8 attempts with one passing touchdown and one rushing score. That passing score was hauled in by receiver Jordan Richardson.

Sophomore running back Deantre “The Jet” Jackson Jr. was the main driver of the offense for Co-Lin, as he finished with 164 yards on 12 rushes. Jackson Jr. had a long run that went for 57 yards, and he scored three times on the ground. Sophomore running back Tray Minor, a Natchez high alum, added 89 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries.

Northeast, a member of the North Division of the MACCC, finishes the season with a 3-6 record. Co-Lin led 38-0 at halftime and the clock did not stop in the second half. In other MACCC action played on Thursday, East Mississippi beat Holmes 51-15, East Central topped Southwest Mississippi 49-13. Jones College beat Pearl River 16-10, Mississippi Delta defeated Coahoma 30-15, and Mississippi Gulf Coast beat Hinds 56-14.

The Wolves outgained the Tigers from Booneville 405-101 in total combined yards, limiting NEMS to just three first downs in the game.

Sophomore linebacker and Mississippi State commit Lakendrick “Champ” James led the CLCC defense with five tackles, including two tackles for a loss, in the win.
