EAST CENTRAL #4 JONES
Jones scored two touchdowns in less than a minute late in the second quarter and went on to whip East Central 34-5 here on a pleasant Thursday night at Bobcat Stadium/Sim Cooley Field . It was the opening game of 2020 for both teams in a season delayed by five weeks because of the COVID-19 pandemic . Leading 10-3, the Bobcats got a 50-yard touchdown run by freshman Romal Webb (Memphis, Tennessee) with 4:26 left in the first half . Seconds later, Hershey McLaurin (Collins) would recover a fumble and return it 27 yards for a score at the 3:35 mark .

Webb ended the game with 112 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 11 carries . Markel McLaurin (Collins) had six catches for 120 yards and a score and Bud Tolbert (Water Valley) had six receptions for 95 yards . The JC defense forced a total of five turnovers, including three interceptions and two fumbles . East Central took the opening kickoff of the game and drove 49 yards in eight plays . The Warriors had a touchdown pass called back because of a holding penalty and had to settle for a 33-yard field goal by Robens Beauplans to make it 3-0 with 12:49 showing in the first quarter . Jones would answer on its first possession of the season with a 76-yard, 10-play drive for a touchdown . Webb’s 4-yard run gave the Bobcats the lead for good and Gavin Gaudin’s (Northwest Rankin) extra point made it 7-3 with 8:39 to play in the first quarter . Jones would go up 10-3 on its possession when Gaudin booted a 42-yard field goal with 9:31 left in the first half to end a 55-yard, six-play drive . Two possessions later, Jones started a drive at its own 31-yard line . Hawkins gained 19 yards on the first play and Webb followed up with a 50-yard scamper for a touchdown . Gaudin’s extra point made it 17-3 at the 4:26 mark . On East Central’s next possession, John Hilbert fumbled . Hershey McLaurin recovered and ran it back 27 yards for a touchdown to make it 24-3 with 3:35 left in the second quarter . Jones continued the momentum by taking the second half kickoff and moving 65 yards in three pass plays . Hawkins found Ashton Nickelberry (Brandon) for 11 yards and Markel McLaurin for five more . Hawkins then connected with Markel McLaurin for a 49-yard touchdown strike . Gaudin’s extra point made it 31-3 with 13:33 left in the third quarter . The Warriors would then get a safety when the Bobcats were backed up deep in their own territory and recovered a fumble in the end zone . That made it 31-5 with 10:49 to play in the third . Jones ended the scoring when Gaudin drilled a 25-yard field goal with 3:49 to play in the third . East Central Jones 1st 1st 2nd 2nd 2nd 3rd 3rd 3rd
