Jennings kicked-off, touched the ball first and scored. But the rest of the night belonged to St. James, as the Wildcats rolled 51-14.

After recovering their own opening kickoff, Jennings' running back Jalen Lewis scordd the game's first touchdown as the Bulldogs orchrastrate a perfect start. But the rest of this game very much belonged to the top-seeded Wildcats.

St. James quarterback Shamar Smith scored five touchdowns. He rushed for two, threw for two (both 50+ yards) and caught one as well.

The championship is St. James' first since 1979
