Ouachita Christian started the game fast, using big plays to set up two quick scores on its way to beat West St. John 23-7 in the Class 1A Championship.
OCS quarterback Braden Bristo connected with wide receiver Brice Gillikin for 35 yards to set up the game's first score. The Eagles got on the board with a 8-yard touchdown run by wide receiver Mark Laird on an end-around. The TD put them up 7-0 with 9:30 left in the first quarter.

The Eagles then tacked on a 26-yard field goal by Luke Albritton to lead 17-0 at the end of the first quarter.
