Hinds Community College and Jones College were pretty even in most statistical categories on Thursday.

The scoreboard was the only real difference, and the only one that mattered.
Ladamian Webb finished with 182 total yards — 126 rushing and 56 receiving — and scored three touchdowns as No. 18 Jones beat No. 12 Hinds 31-7. Jones scored 24 unanswered points from the final minute of the second quarter on.

“A couple plays here and there and this could have been a different ball game with a different score, but that is the MACJC. You make a mistake and teams in this league will make you pay,” Hinds head coach Larry Williams said.

Hinds finished with 374 yards of total offense, while Jones had 407. Hinds (2-1, 0-1 MACJC South) turned the ball over three times, however, while Jones did not have any turnovers. Hinds also missed two field goals, and two of its turnovers led to points for Jones (2-1, 1-0).

Webb scored Jones’ first touchdown on a 57-yard run in the first quarter, and then punched in a 4-yarder with 26 seconds left in the second. The latter gave the Bobcats a 14-7 lead at halftime, and they never trailed again.

Webb caught a 31-yard TD pass from Quaterius Hawkins with 27 seconds left in the third, and Hawkins later hit Brodie King for a 3-yard TD midway through the fourth quarter to make it 28-7.

Hawkins completed 8 of 9 passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns. Jones’ other quarterback, former Warren Central star Fred Barnum, was 6-of-15 for 98 yards.
Defensive back Rakeim Ashford had two interceptions for Jones.

For Hinds, quarterback Elijah Walker was 7-of-16 passing for 171 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. He was sacked four times.

Don Ragsdale carried the ball 26 times for 94 yards.

Hinds’ touchdown came on a 5-yard pass from Walker to Javon Antonio early in the second quarter.

Hinds will host Southwest Mississippi next Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in Raymond.
