He finished the season fourth on the team in tackles with 35.

BAILEY SMITH
Smith was an integral part of the Wildcat defense in last week’s 0-0 draw with Gulf Coast.

The right back played great defense in addition to helping in the development of the attack, creating several chances down the stretch.

The draw pushed Pearl River into second place in the MACCC South Division and set the Wildcats up for a match with Itawamba in the quarterfinals.

Smith and the Wildcat back line tallied four consecutive shutouts to end the season.
