POPLARVILLE, Miss. — Pearl River football standout Justin Jefferson (Memphis, Tenn.; Bartlett) and volleyball standout Diamond Jones (Gonzales, La.; East Ascension) have been selected as the latest Forrest General Wildcats of the Week.

JUSTIN JEFFERSON

The linebacker tallied 15 tackles, two sacks, 3.5 tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries in the game.

Pearl River’s defense held Jones College to its least amount of yardage all season in the contest.
