Monday night, at Sam Smith Stadium, the Forrest City JV Mustangs picked up where the varsity Mustangs left off Friday night.

Last Friday, the Mustangs rolled over Marianna 46-0. Monday night, the JV Mustangs rolled over Brinkley 33-0 to improve to 2-0 for the year.

"We got to play a lot of kids in both games," said Forrest City Coach Donnie Willis.

Against Marianna Friday, the Mustang defense especially shined, holding the Trojans to 46 total yards for the game. At the half, Marianna had minus one yard of offense.

Offensively, the Mustangs chewed up 392 total yards and 11 first downs.

Andrew Embry scored four of the Mustang touchdowns against Marianna while his little brother, Cory scored once. Tae Chism added two touchdowns in the shutout win.
