The Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) state playoffs are still within reach for the Hinds Community College football team after the Eagles drilled Jones County Junior College, 38-13, at Joe Renfroe Stadium in Raymond on Thursday night.

Hinds rolled to the tune of 459 yards of total offense (175 rushing, 284 passing) and held JCJC to only 274 total yards (90 rushing, 184 passing) en route to the blowout victory.

The Eagles improve to 5-3 overall and 3-2 in the South division, while Jones dropped to 2-6 overall and 2-3 in the South.

The quarterback duo of TR Page (Taylorsville) and Jaquez Parks (Griffin, Ga.) paced the Eagles offense all evening, with each quarterback bringing a different element to the game.

Page was 12-20 for 162 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions through the air and rushed eight times for 51 yards and two scores. Parks was 8-10 for 122 yards and three touchdown passes and carried the rock 10 times for 37 yards.

Javon Wims (Miami, Fla.) had yet another big night in the receiving category, leading all receivers with 10 catches for 145 yards and two touchdowns.

Jahmmir Taylor (Fairburn, Ga.) was a threat as well, catching five balls for 92 yards and two touchdowns.

Page started the scoring barrage with 35 seconds remaining in the opening quarter when he went head over heels into the end zone and scored from five yards out. The PAT was no good and Hinds had an early 6-0 advantage.

Parks extended the lead with 9:03 in the second quarter when he connected with Wims on a 37-yard touchdown pass. The point after was fumbled and the Eagles were unable to convert and now held a 12-0 lead.

Parks struck again quickly, this time connecting with Taylor on a 27-yard strike with 7:57 left before half. The point after was no good yet again and Hinds was now up, 18-0.

It was now Page's turn to throw a touchdown pass and he did just that, finding Wims from 12 yards out for the score with just 23 seconds left in the first half. The Mason Sollie (Raymond) PAT was good this time and Hinds took a 25-0 lead into intermission.

Tevin Moore got JCJC on the board with 12:04 in the final quarter when he scored from two yards out. Michael Godley added the point after and the Hinds lead was cut to 25-7.

The combo of Parks and Taylor connected again from 33 yards out with 7:36 in the fourth quarter and the Sollie PAT was good to put Hinds ahead, 32-7.

Stephen Cowan got the final JCJC score of the evening with 5:41 left when he ran it in from 20 yards, but the two-point conversion was no good, and Hinds was still up, 32-13.

Page added the final touchdown of the evening just 15 seconds later, as he hammered it in from 38 yards for the score with 5:26 remaining. The PAT was blocked, giving the Eagles a 38-13 victory.

Marcus Loud (Houston, Texas) had nine tackles and three sacks on the night, while fellow defensive stalwarts Barron Burns (Cleveland), Nic Chatman (Clinton) and Jemarcus James (Jackson) each ahd double-digit tackles on the evening with 10 apiece.

Desmond Hawkins (Memphis, Tenn.) picked up two sacks and Lloyd Jenkins (McComb) picked off his first collegiate pass as time expired to aid the Hinds defense.

The Eagles will complete the 2015 regular season next Thursday, traveling to Summit to take on Southwest Community College. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
