ECCC dipped to 0-3 in the South Division and has the rugged trio of Itawamba (4-1 ), Hinds (4-1), and J ones (5-0) lined up for the next three weeks. Pearl River improved to 1-2 in the division and 2-3 overall. The other Wildcat win was against Coahoma. ECCC tied its school record win– less streak at 11 with the loss. It was ECCC's 12th-consecutive road loss as well. The 42-point difference was ECCC's worst whipping since a 61-18 loss to Pearl River in 1969.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Wildcats, who had just 37 points combined in their first four games, got a pair of touchdowns from quarterback Jerel Posey in the se– cond period. Posey scored on a 4-yard run with 9:38left in the first half and then again on a 6-yard run 4: 50 before intermission as PRCC carried a 14-0 lead into halftime.
