POPLARVILLE, Miss. — The MACCC Player of the Week award belongs to the No. 2 Pearl River baseball team for a fourth consecutive week.

After a blistering week at the plate, Caston Thompson (Jayess; Brookhaven Academy) is the conference's selection. He joins Marshall Phillips (Hattiesburg; Sumrall) and two-time winner Hollis Porter (Hurley; East Central) as the Wildcats to win the offensive award. JT Schnoor (Pascagoula; Resurrection), JP Robertson (Madison; Germantown) and Thomas Crabtree (Collierville, Tenn.) have taken home Pitcher of the Week awards with Crabtree earning two.
