GAME DAY: Pearl River Wildcats vs. Mississippi Delta Trojans

POPLARVILLE - The No. 1-ranked Pearl River Wildcats begin their quest for a fifth-straight MACJC state championship at 7 tonight when they kick off the 2007 football season against non-division rival Mississippi Delta in Dobie Holden Stadium. PRCC won its four-straight state title a year ago marking the first such feat in the league in nearly a decade. The Wildcats enter the 2007 campaign atop the NJCAA's preseason poll for the third consecutive season. Sixth-year head coach Tim Hatten says his Wildcats are understandably wary of tonight's opponent. "We're like everybody else in this league," he said. "You know very little, if anything, about the opposition going in...you basically go in blind. I know we'll have to check things out in the first quarter and make some necessary adjustments, but we're ready to get things going. "But (MDCC head coach ) Jay (Miller) is in the same boat," he continued. "He's a good football coach, but knows very little about our personnel at this point." All Pearl River games are broadcast live on WMXI-FM (98.1) in Hattiesburg, WFFF-FM (96.7) in Columbia.
