No. 3 Pearl River battles past Southwest

SUMMIT, Miss. — Southwest was determined to frustrate No. 3 Pearl River in an attempt to slow down the Wildcats on Thursday. PRCC was determined not to be deterred.

In the end it was Pearl River that had its way, topping the Bears 78-59.

The victory was PRCC’s fourth straight over Southwest.

“This was a workman’s type game. I don’t know how fun it was for the fans to watch, but once again this was a playoff type atmosphere and a playoff type of grinding game,” Pearl River coach Chris Oney said. “We had to find different ways to score on the offensive end to win but the defense stayed the same.”
