Coahoma vs . Northeast at Booneville, Hinds at Mississippi Delta, Holmes at Senatobia against Ray Poole's Northwest squad and Gulf Coast at Summit pfaying Southwest. The Saturday night game pits Jones of EllisvilJe against Pearl River at Watkins Stadium in Laurel. "We played a real good foot– ball team last week," said Pouncey assessing his Warriors' 10-7 loss to powerful Holmes at Goodman. ' 'And, we'll be playing another fine team at home this week. Co– Lin is one of the better teams in the state. They have probably more speed than any team we'll face this season. Great wide receivers and a quarterback who can do it all." Pouncey was SpP.aking of the Wolves' talented signal caller, Bryan Fine, a transfer from In– diana whose passes stood Nor– theast on its ear, 36-14, last

week. Having played on Thursday last week, Pouncey scouted the Wolves. ''I would say they

EMJC is one of three North teams which stands 1-0, but 0-0 in divis ion results. The others are Holmes and Itawamba. Nor– theast, Mississippi Delta, Nor– thwest and Coahoma are all o-1. In the South, Co-Lin, Gulf Coast, Jones and Pearl River all sport 1-0 overall marks while Hinds and Southwest, along with East Central, are winless after one week of play. East Mississippi had a hard– fought battle against Southwest a week ago and head coach Ran– dle Bradberry expects another tough one Thursday. Itawamba looked good in win– mng last week and the Indians w1Jl have the added advantage of playing before their home fans.

Jones Downs East Central, 33·10 By JASON BffiD

Star Correspondent ELLISVILLE - The Jones Junior College Bobcats lived up to the~ No. 13 ranking in the nation here Saturday night with an easier-than-expected 33·10 win over South Division leader East Central. TheWarnors, who went into the game leading the division with a 3-1 record, thus fell to 3-2 in loop results and 3-5 overall. Jones took over the top spot with a 3-1-1 record in the South. With 4:14 left in the opening quarter, the Bobcats scored on David Martin's 6-yard run and Chip Gieger booted the extra point. Jones came back with 12 seconds remaining in the period when quarterback Simmy Cooley shot a 50-yard scoring pass to Eligah Bell and Jeff Jones tacked on the PAT. East Central's Todd Wall reduced the margin by three with an 18-yard field goal at the 11 :15 juncture before intermission, but Jones' Leo Shelby raced 13 yards to cap another Bobcat drive. The PAT failed, but Jones was up by 20-3 just before halftime. East Central roared back as if to make a game of it moments later. Warrior quarterback Jim Kennamer passed five yards to Tony Baker for an ECJC touchdown and Wall reduced it to 20-10 with his PAT boot. However, Jones stood the crowd on its collective feet by mar– ching 80 yards with the next kickoff to score. Jt ~'Amf' wh-. rwPi2er caught a 41-vard pass from Cooley and it was up to 26-10 at the half. Jo!les iced the win with 11:05 left in the game as Jim Phillips r~n m from one yard out to cap another Bobcat drive and this hme, Jeff Jones booted the extra point for the final margin.

Area Roundup EMJC Whips ECJC By JASO:\' BIRD Star Correspondent

DECATUR- A pair of Meridian High products teamed up in the closing minutes here Saturday night to spark East MiSSISSippi Junior College to a 31-27 come-from-behind victory over archrival East Central. With 1:55left on the scoreboard clock, quarter– back Ed Smith rifled a 34-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Eric Willis to pr ovide the game– winning heroics in the regular-season finale for both teams. Smith completed 15 of 27 passes for 230 yards to spa rk the Lions. Although the loss was heartbreaking for coach Ken Pouncey's East Central team, they received some good news following the of£ensive shootout. Copiah-Lincoln had just ~efeated Gulf. ~o~st 41-14, which landed the Warnors a South DIVISIOn playoff berth against Holmes. Both teams battled on equal terms in the open– ing quarter, scoring a touchdown apiece. EMJC drew first blood midway in the quarter when running back Danny James bolted up the middle for 88 yards and a touchdown. Jerry Hallmark added the extra point. East Central tied the game late in the stanza when running back Ronnie Parker scored on a 5-yard touchdown run to conclude a 70-yard drive. East Central took the lead midway in the second qua rter when quarterback Jeff Kennamer fired a 12-yard scoring aerial to Parker. Todd Wall's PAT g~e the Warnors a 14-7 lead

. he 10ns pulled within four points <14-10) late m the quar ter when Hallmark booted a 30-yard field goal. E_MJ opened the second half with a bang as Sm1th tossed a 39-yard touchdown pass to William Bell. Hallmark's extra point id the Lions on top 17-14. ' East Central countered with 13 points to take a 27-17 lead into the final quarter on the strength of touchdown passes of 30 and 25 yards from Ken– namer to Bruce McGee and Tony Baker respectively. The '.Yarriors failed on a two-point conversion on the frrst TO and elected to boot an extra point following the second score In a wild fourth quarter, the Lions clawed the Warriors on the strength of a 1-yard plunge by former La.m.ar School st~n~out Bobby Myers with 9:10 remammg to pull w1thm three points (27-24 ) . The s.tage was then set for East Mississippi's dramatic last-chance drive to win the game. "The season was disappointing, but when you win a game like this, it does your team some good," said East Mississippi coach Randall Bradberry.'' The LIOns concluded the season with a 4-6 marK. ~ast Central ends the regular season with an ideo– heal mark.
