POPLARVILLE – It wasn't much of a (cat) fight. 

Jones (5-0, 2-0 MACCC) scored early and often in a 6-2 blowout win over the rivals Tuesday night, tying its largest victory ever against Pearl River (4-2, 1-1). 

Yussef Hakmaoui scored in the 11th minute, Kelton Keene off a rebound in the 14th minute and Leighton Jameson connected on a penalty kick to quickly give the visitors a 3-0 cushion.

PRCC got on the board in the 25th minute before Denim Lombard beat two Wildcat defenders and the keeper to extend the JC lead back to 4-1 at the break.

Lombard and Taylor Richardson hooked up again in the 57th minute and Richardson dealt his third assist of the night two minutes later to Miguel Magagnin to make it 6-1.

The Wildcats got a late goal to make the final 6-2.

Jones outshot PRCC 13-6 on goal and put constant pressure on the Wildcat defense. 

The Bobcats continue a three-match road swing on Friday at Meridian. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
