The Smokey Road Wildcats picked the right time to get hot.
After sluggish start to the season that included three-regular season losses, the Wildcats have played their way into the CCMSAL championship game with a 16-6 victory over Evans.
It’s the third championship meeting between the two schools, who have split the first two encounters. Madras won the CCMSAL championship in 2006 and two years later, Smokey Road captured the title in a rematch.
Kickoff for Tuesday’s contest is set for 6 p.m. at Henry Seldon Field.
Recapping Tuesday’s semifinal games:
• Smokey Road 16, Evans 6
Smokey Road used two first-quarter touchdowns to build the lead, and from there, they never gave it back en route to its victory over Evans.
Jacob Bryant’s one-yard touchdown run got the scoring started for Smokey Road.
A.J. Robinson then added the Wildcats’ final touchdown of the night later in the quarter. When Sergio Wallace added a pass from Bryant to complete the 2-point conversion, Smokey Road led 14-0.
Robinson finished the day with 95 yards on 12 carries to lead the Smokey Road offense.
Kenonte Anderson had a successful day on both sides of the line of scrimmage. After a scoreless second quarter by both teams, Anderson sacked the Evans quarterback in the end zone for the Wildcats’ final score of the game and a 16-0 lead.
Anderson, who finished with 42 yards rushing on four carries, also recovered a fumble.
Evans scored its only touchdown in the fourth period when Kadarius Satterwhite scored on a 3-yard run.
