Lopez and Pernell named Players of the Week

Brianna Lopez and Octavious Pernell have been named the Players of the Week for Holmes Community College for their play last week.

Lopez, a sophomore forward from Forth Smith, Ark., scored the only goal for No. 2 Holmes in their 1-0 win over East Central Friday. Lopez scored on a free kick in the first half. Pernell, a freshman defensive back from Lexington, picked off East Central's quarterback in the fourth quarter and raced it in for a 27 yard touchdown to tie the game but give Holmes the momentum to pull out the 24-17 win.
