A late Brookhaven Academy (1-5) rushing touchdown by Braden Revere pulled the Cougars to within 24-21, but the visitors from Lincoln County couldn’t recover the onside kick and the Cathedral Green Wave (3-2) were able to take a knee and run out the final 30-seconds of the fourth quarter to hold on for a win in the MAIS District 3-5A matchup. Brookhaven Academy will celebrate homecoming next week by hosting the MHSAA 1A Salem Wildcats.
