ELLISVILLE – Annalyn Housley clinched the winning point in Jones' 5-1 victory over rival Gulf Coast Saturday to claim the Bobcats' fourth straight Region 23 Championship. 

The win also capped a perfect season at 22-0.

Jones is back in the national tournament for a 20th time with the automatic bid and will open play May 4 in Tyler, Texas.

The Bobcats rolled through the three-day tournament defeating No. 25 East Central 5-0, No. 15 Itawamba 5-0 and No. 12 Gulf Coast 5-1.

On Saturday, Jones led 2-1 after doubles winning at No's 1 and 2.

Lauren Sullivan/Mikenzy Dubrow got the first point for Gulf Coast at No. 3 doubles.

Jones extended the lead to 4-1 after wins by Daniela Tovar at No. 3 singles and Molly Bennett at No. 4 before Housley's 6-0, 6-1 victory at No. 5 to close it out.

The Bobcats finished dual match play a ridiculous 110-2 and now turn their attention to tournament play next month.
