POPLARVILLE – Sherline King's 65th minute goal capped two goals in two minutes for Jones Friday night as the 11th-ranked Bobcats won in Poplarville for the first time since 2021 with a 2-1 victory over No. 16 Pearl River. 

Jones improved to 6-1-2 overall, 3-0-1 in MACCC play. PRCC dropped to 6-2, 2-2. 

Addy Grace Alexander gave the home team a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute and it would hold up for the next 36 minutes.

Magdalena Polrolniczak hit the post a minute into the second half and King hit the crossbar seconds later, one of five shots that deflected off the PRCC goal in the match.

An own goal tied the match at 1-1 in the 63rd minute before King's goal off a Polrolniczak assist was the eventual game-winner.

Jones rides a four-match unbeaten streak into next Friday night at home against East Central.
