Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pearl River Central). They secured a 52-48 W over the Sumrall Bobcats on Monday. This was a revenge game for the Blue Devils: when they faced off against the Bobcats back in November of 2024, they had to take a 55-33 loss.

Ella Robertson and Kynlee Speed certainly did their best on Monday to avoid the loss. Robertson went 8 of 19 on her way to 25 points, while Speed posted 14 points. Robertson is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in the last three games she's played.

Pearl River Central moved to 5-12 with that victory, which also ended their five-game losing streak. As for Sumrall, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 12-11 record this season.

Pearl River Central wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next game, a 54-27 defeat against Terry on the 14th. Sumrall has also already played their next contest (against Forrest County Agricultural), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
