Pearl River Junior College ' s Wildcats poured onto the field for the start of their 1972 football season. The Maroon and Gold showed most of the talents that they would display all ear iti winning the season ' s first game over the Holmes Bulldogs. 40-10. The first points of the young season came by way of a 13 yard run by freshman L. B. Bullock. Bullock also scored from 51 and 53 yards during the night. Complementing Bull- ock ' s 148 yard effort were TD ' s by Craig Franklin from 30 yards, and one yard dive by Ken Bufkin, and a 28 yard scamper by Eric Lytnuel. Also gaining 100 yards for the Cats was sophomore Craig Franklin. In the win, the Wild- cats set the pace for the remainder of the year. The Cats had justified all their pre-season headlines, and PRC fans settled back for what appeared to be another race for the toj) spot in the tiation. DENNIS O REAR QB 180 Pearl River Jones .... 19 33 1 c L. B. BULLOCK TB 158 PERKY DONALDSON DB 171 After such a convincing opening season win, th(! Wildcats journeyed to Laurel, Miss, to battle a highly-rated group of Jones Bobcats. Both teams entered the gam ! with 1-0 records and lite kiiovvledgc llial this gatne woidd go a long way toward decidirig the chatiipion of the slate s soulh division. Both teams battled on rough terms for the first miiiiMes of the game, biil llicii llic l5ol)cats crossed the Wildcats goal for a 7-0 lead. The score seemed to inject into J. ,1.(1. new life and the club exploded for a 27-0 lead. Under the direction of Coach John Russell, the Wildcats kept their poise and started on the comeback trail. A 31 yard scoring strike put the River on the board before the half and dropped the l( ad to 27-7. In the second half, the Wildcats continued to nibble at the huge Jones lead, and another scoring strike from Hutchins to Bullock, their second of tlie night, closed the gap lo 27-1,3. Just as it seemed the Maroon and Gold would be able to [)ull it out of the fire, old man fate stepped in. A Hutchins pass was picked off and Jones (juickly took a ,33-13 lead. Pearl River continued to fight back and score the game ' s final points on a 17 yard Hutch- ins to Jack Gallagher pass. The brave comeback fell short, however, and the Wildcats mark dropped to 1-1. The loss was only PRC ' s fourth in their last 31 games. Pearl River . East Central 38 .0 After the previous week ' s setback, the Wildcats took out their frustrations on the visiting East Central Warriors. The River scored early and often on their way to their first shut-out of the season. The scoring parade was startetl by quarterback Charles Hutchins who ran around the end for a seven yard touchdown. The crowd was then brought to its feet by fancy running by freshman sensation L. B. Bullock of Petal. L. B. stepped through the Warriors for scores of 29 and 34 yards. The scores were Bullock ' s sixth and seventh of the young season. Not to be overshadowed, L. B. ' s sidekick, J. W. Rawls treated the fans to some excellent running and streaked to scoring dashes of 36 and 30 yards. The night s final tally was scored by Aubrey Fleming, the Wildcats ' tight end, after receiv- ing a pass from Hutchins. All three PRC passers saw action on this warm September night as Hutchins, Dennis O ' Rear, and Gary Blaize combined to hit on 12 of 29 passes. The big Maroon and Gold clad defense turned in a brilliant and consistent effort in post- ing a convincing shut-out of the visitors. f T JAMES SMITH LB 165 KRIC LYMIJKI. TB-DB 165 .1. X .

The two schools, separated only hy a thirty niiniite drive down the road, are as fierce a |)air of rivals as you are likely to find. This year extra drama was added to the situation because both teams were in the middle of a fierce battle for the divisional championshi[). Both teams were also ranked in the national polls. Perk came into the game with an awesome 24 game winning and a mad week of preparation that preceded built the tension to an agonizing [ eak by game tiiTie. PRC got on the scoreboard first in the opening | eri()d as Charles Hulcliins hit tight end Wes McFarland on a ten yard TD. The .Atra point failed and the River led 6-0. Perk scored next on a fine .35 varder from Kennv Bovnick to Lerov Fau -ett. The P. ' T was good and Perk had stolen the l. ' ad. 7-6. By half-time, the visiting Bulldogs had incr.-ased the lead to 14-6 by way of another Boynick to Faucellc pass: this time from L5 yards. The Wildcat machine got going again in the second half as Hutchins found .lack Gallagher in the end one from 25 yards. The try for two missed and the lead was cut lo 14-12. Late in the third period, the Cats were dealt a seemingly fatal blow when Perk defensive l)aek Kim Latort intercepted a Hutchins pass and rambled bark 45 yards for a touchdown. .As the rivals headed into the final (piarter. the count was Perk 21, PRC 12. At this point the Wildcat offense began a series of thrusts at the Bulldog defense. Spending most of their time within the visitor ' s 20 yard lin ' . the Cats conliruially came up empiv handed. The scoreboard showed less than four minutes left. The stands found sonic of the crowd heading for the exits. On the field, however, the Wildcats were jireparing for another desperate try. This time the Maroon and Gold would not be denied, and the drive ' s end saw L. B. Bullock powering over from the four. Coach Russell then elected to go for two pointer, and the plan worked when Hutchins hit Stewart to close the gap to 21-20. The Wildcat defense held and Perk readied themselves to punt. The standing-room-only crowd read- ied themselves for the game ' s conclusion as only 1:14 showed on the clock. The ball was snapj)ed but Hamp and Steve Stewart burst through the Bulldog line to block the punt for a safety. That provided the Wildcats with the 22-21 margin of victory, and the town of Poplarville was to buzz about the miracle ending for the rest of the year. No one who .saw the Wildcats raise their record to .3-1 would ever forget it. Pearl River Hinds .... BILL WALLACE C 205 BRUCE STATEN LB-DE 180 CHUCK SPEED C 200 For the second consecutive week the Wildcats managed to win by the smallest of margins; one point. This time the PRC win came at the expense of the Hinds Eagles. The 13-12 win was the River ' s first road win in two attempts and raised the Cat ' s record to 4-1. Points were hard to come by in this defensive battle. It is possible that Pearl River suf- fered from let-down following last week ' s story-book ending against Perk; but it is more likely that Hind ' s fine defense was the real reason; the Eagles entered the contest with an imposing 3-1 record. Lightning struck early as Hinds recovered a PRC fumble on the Wildcat 25. Shortly there- after, running back Sammy Boles scampered in for the remaining 10 yards and following a high snap on the PAT attempt, the Eagles were leading 6-0. The River quickly marched back into the ball game with Charles Hutchins and Wes McFarkand teaming up for a 15 yard TD. PRC ' s automatic PAT also missed and the teams were tied 6-6 at half-time. With time running out in the third quarter the River again lit the scoreboard. This time the points came when Hutchins tucked the ball under his arm from three yards out. Ray Guy ' s conversion was good and the River led 13-6. Hinds wasn ' t dead yet, however, and with just under 11:00 minutes remaining the Eagles were kndi king at the Maroon and Gold following a pass interference call. Following a score thai was called back due to a penalty, Hinds quarterback Bobby Barrett rolled around v i n(l for six points. With 10:38 remaining and Pearl River leading 13-12 Hinds (!(ja( li Diuvvood Graham (ltTi(ic i to play for the win. The Eagles lined up in field goal foniialiDii, liut it was a fake. Barrett rolled left but couldn ' t find a receiver and was sacked. From there the Cats merely played the clock and escaped with a stirring 13-12 victory. QUliN BRELAND C 182 0 38 .2 Pearl River ' s ri.Mers pul llie linisliinf touch on a l)eautifiil Hotiiccofiiiiif; day l)y defeating the Southwest Bears hy the score of 38-2. The game was the last of many Homecoming activities on the Octo- ber day, which were started with an aftcir- noon |)arade down the streets of Po[)lar- ville and were highlighted by the crown- ing of Homecoming Queen, Charlotte Rouilier, just before the game. The scoring parade was initiated by run- ning back L. B. Bullock who coasted in ' t from 14 yards. This first score came with ' ps than seven minutes gone and gave the ■k River a 7-0 lead. .The tally was rai.sed to 14-0 as fullback Hamp Stewert bulled over several enemy tacklers on his way to an 18 yard TD. This ended the scoring in the first quar- ter. THOMAS TILLMAN NG 186 In the second quarter, aided by great field position due to great defensive play, the offense appeared nearly unstopped. Two scoring drives were climaxed by Jessie Armstrong, who brought them in from one and nine yards. L. B. Bullock electri- fied the large Homecoming crowd with a memorable 31 yard effort. Before the dust had cleared, the Wildcats were winging to the locker room with a 35-0 half-time lead. The action was somewhat less furious in the final thirty minutes. The PRC points came on a 38 yard field goal by kicker Hank Reid. The boot was the longest by the Wildcats this season. Southwest fans got something to cheer about in the final frame when a number of Bears blocked a Bill Wallace punt into, and out of, the end zone for a safety. ALLEN CUCLLLL G 177 81 Pearl River Delta .... c GAYLE HARRIS G 209 TERRY ENTREKIN G 177 The old adage about good defense beating good offense was proved false this week as Pearl River Junior College exploded late to defeat Mississippi Delta 20-6. Delta came into the game as the state ' s top defensive team, while the Wildcats ranked first in the State in {)oint production. Both defenses seemed to command the situation for the first thirty minutes and the half came before any points were put on the board. It was the first time this year that the River had failed to score in a half. The second thirty minutes saw the game turn into an offensive show. PRC got on the scoreboard first as J. W. Rawls cracked over from one yard out. The extra point was good and with 6:00 minutes left in the third quarter the Wildcats led 7-0. Before those six minutes elapsed the Cats were on the board again. This lime the scor- ing drive was climaxed with a seven yard pass from Charles Hutchins to .lack Gallagher. The fourth period began with PRC sporting a 14-0 lead. Delta closed the gap to 14-6 as fullback Steve Burgess rambled 17 yards for the homt; team ' s only score. The point-after-touchdown was missed. The final points of the night came when Rawls again dived over for six points. The River also missed the extra point and the night ' s scoring ended with a 20-6 PRC vic- tory. The Wildcats w.;re led by the initial boys ; L. B. Bullock and J. W. Rawls. Both freshmen, L. B. rushed for 89 yards on 11 carries and J. W. ground out 86 yards in 16 attempts. The win kepi the Wildcats a mt-re one game off the JUCO lead and had the Wildcats ranked eleverilli nationally. Pearl River 21 Co-Lin 8 Willi lii)|)( s for llir i i()ii;il lillc f rowiiif; increasingly sliriitiK r. llir I ' carl Hivrr Wildi als turned in one of llieir soundesl performances on their way lo a convincing 2 I -H lieatinf; of the Co-Lin Wolves. The Wildcats, liirtntifj, in their hest road perforiiiaiK c of the year, held the Wolves score- less until late in the final (juarter when PRC ' s reserves gave up a 70 yard seoririf pass from Jake Russell to Eniniitt Madison. Before this lightning struck, the Maroon and Gold had opened a safe 21-0 lead. None of the Wildcats scoring plays could be termed spectacular, but were merely finishing touches to some short, hut well-directed, drives. Twice fullback Keti Bufkin scored from two yards out and the final PRC score came on a three yard run by B. Bullock. Those points by Bullock raised his total to sixty for the year, to place him, along with Bill Wal- lace in punting and Charles Hutchins in total offense, among the leaders in the nation. Elsewhere in junior college action, PRC ' s title hopes were dealt a severe blow when Jones defeated Perk on a last quarter score. 9-7. JESSIE HERNDON G 213 v.. FORREST SMI TH ROCKY GAUDIN STEVE ANDERSON DE 174 T 200 T 181 83 Pearl River Northeast . 33 .7 The thrill of victor ' and the agony of defeat were never so closely combined as on this night. The Wildcats were victorious for the eighth time in nine outings as they smothered the Northeast Tigers 33-7. The agony of defeat, however, came when the PRC players heard the news the Jones J.C. had defeated Co-Lin, thereby eliminating the Wildcats from the Mississippi Junior College race. All the scoring in the last PRC home game of 1972 saw its scoring come in the first half. The first points came as L. B. Bullock scored his state-leading eleventh TD of the season on a nine yard run. The PAT was good and the Maroon and Gold led 7-zip. The Tigers tied it up on a five yard pass from Jackie Pennington to Jim Pounds. The Tiger glory was short-lived, as Charles Hutchins connected with Wes McFarland for a three yard score. The game was put out of reach as the Wildcats totally dominated the second period. J. W. Rawls blasted over from the one, Hutchins kept for seven yards, and Craig Franklin bulled over from the four and the Cats were winging it 31-7. The final PRC points of the home season came when Good Time Charlie Hutchins hit Aubrey Fleming for a two point conversion. The final two periods were scoreless and PRC, the nation ' s number eight team, had a convincing — yet hollow — victory. The game was highlighted by a brilliant performance by L. B. Bullock. Bullock rushed for an amazing 183 yards in 13 carries, at an almost inconceivable 14-yards-per-carry average.

The win ended Pearl River ' s season with a 9-1 record — the best in the State — yet that costly loss to Jones came hack to iKiiinl the Wildcals, and the Robcals wrapp« d up the South Division with a 8-1-1 record. On Ihis cold November night in Senatobia, the Wildcals (|uickly cxi)lode(i and llicii, after [Hitting the game out of reach coasted in for the win. First (piarter scores included a 16 yard run by J. W. Rawls, and a Hutchiiis to Gallagher pass covering 14 yards. First i uar- ter score: PRC 14, Northwest 0. The score was raised to 16-0 by a means very familiar to Wildcat fans ... a safety. This one was brought about when Thomas Tillman and Steve Stewert intersected at the Ranger quarterback in the end zone. In ihe second half, the Wildcats kept on trucking as L. B. Bullo( k and freshman quarter- back Dennis O ' Rear raised the point total to 29. The Rangers only points came on a one yard thrust by N.W.J.C. fullback Larry Herron. The Wildcats closed the season as the nation ' s number five team. Post season honors would rank Bill Wallace and Jack Gallagher as first team All-Americans. Charles Hutchins. Thomas Tillman, and Ken Bufkin would receive honorable mentions for the national honor. The state All-Star game found eight Wildcats present. These included Hutchins, Wallace, Gallagher, along with Hamp Stewert, Chuck Stewert, Jessie Herndon, Craig Franklin, and Gary Foster. Additionally, the South squad would be coached by PRC ' s great trio, John Russell, J. C. Arban. and Herb Morris. Seventy-two points by J. W. Rawls was tops in the state.

Pearl River College Basketball Team As the 1972-73 season drew near most fans felt that PRC ' s basketball team would be hard pressed to match the previous season ' s 7-13 record. Most felt that this would be a rebuild- ing year. Their reasoning was simple, only one sophomore was returning from last season ' s outfit and the slack would have to be picked up by untried freshmen. The fans got an early indication of what was to come, in the initial game of the season when the young Wildcats roared from nineteen points down to take a memorable 75-70 overtime win over arch-rival Perk. The Wildcat ' s never-say-die spirit would be in evidence throughout the season and the Cats closed the season with a surprising and highly-satisfying 11-10 record. Included in those eleven wins were impressive victories over such experienced teams as Perk, Jones, Hinds, and the sweep of a two game series against Southwest. The Maroon and Gold were led by their lone-sophomore, Houston Brown, who averaged 18.8 points per game. Also in the starting line-up were four freshmen who showed the calm poise of more seasoned performers. Myjellous Mingo, from his center position, aver- aged 16.9 points a game and led the team in rebounds. Kenny Seals averaged 14 points a game and quarterbacked the team admirably before being shelved with a knee injury dur- ing the season ' s home stretch. Also in the starting line-up was Jamie Ladner. Ladner averaged 10.7 points a game and was as fine a percentage shooter as could be found. Jamie also did some fine board work. Other important Wildcats included Rand Bounds, Tommy Edwards, Arthur Whitfield, Wayne McQueen, and Willy Clarke. Bounds saw considerable action at the pivot and turned down many shots in order to hit anot her open teammate. Edwards and Whitfield both showed good shooting eyes in limited action. The coach of the Wildcats was Billy Holmes. A rookie to the junior college coaching ranks. Holmes did a remarkable job of coaching and the end result was a poised and efficient basketball machine. The fans rallied behind the PRC cagers and good crowds attended almost every game. The color, the excitement, and the team ' s 8-1 record at home made PRC basketball ' 73 some- thing to remember.
