Using two recovered fumbles and three forced interceptions, the Bobcats bashed the Bears 26-0, improving to 2-1 overall. Southwest remains winless at 0-3. All phases of Jones' game were on Saturday running, passing, defense and kicking.

The Bobcats scored at least once in each quarter, twice on runs of 22 and 2 yards by running back Rashad Phillips, twice on field goals by Nickolas Terracina and once on a 34 yard pass reception from Charles Hales to Alonzo Nix. "This is the best I've seen our team play all year," said Nix, the freshman from Laurel High School who put the Bobcats ahead 26-0 early in the fourth quarter. "We excelled in all areas. Their DB's were playing really far back, so we were able to run our slants and execute our routes." Jones took advantage of a Southwest penalty on the first drive that turned a punt attempt into a first down, giving the Bobcats a new lease and a new set of downs at their own 48-yard line. After pass receptions of 11 and 13 yards, punctuated by a spectacular, leaping run by Ralph Davis for 18 yards, Phillips capped the eight-play drive with a 22-yard touchdown run around the left end.

Gaining 110 total rushing yards and 157 passing yards, Jones was equally effective on the ground and through the air. And while Southwest collected 226 total offensive yards to Jones' 267, it was turnovers that hamstrung the Bears' assault.
