Home-standing Biloxi took a pair of games from Blount High of Mobile, Ala., Monday night to wrap up the pre-Christmas portion of the schedule for both the Indians and Lady Indians.
The Biloxi girls tipped off the evening by doubling up the Lady Leopards 42-21. Freshman center Zaniya Johnson, a 6-foot force inside, enjoyed one of the best games of her year and a half prep career as she posted 24 points, pulled down eight rebounds and blocked five shots in the impressive performance. Aaliyah Davidson chipped in eight points, eight rebounds and four assists to the winning effort, as the Lady Indians moved to a sparkling 14-1 overall.
The Lady Indians are off as they prepare to host their own Holiday Tournament Dec. 28-29th.

The Biloxi boys moved to 11-4 through their first 15 games with a 51-36 win over the Leopards. Reggie Conner tallied 16 points to guide the Indians, while Dayshawn Mcgee added 12 points to the winning effort.
“With new guys on this year’s team and incorporating 12 football players into our basketball team, we have had a decent start but looking for defensive consistency and offensive efficiency I feel our best basketball is ahead of us.” veteran Indians head coach Seber Windham said after the win Monday night.
The game marked the fifth of the season for Biloxi against a team from South Alabama this season, as the Indians have played Davidson High of Mobile twice, Baker High of Mobile, Theodore and Blount. In fact, the Indians were coming off their second win of the season over Davidson after Biloxi beat the Warriors 58-48 Saturday during their own Jackie Laird Classic Tournament. Dayshawn Mcgee scored 18 points to lead the way for the Indians in that win.

Biloxi is off for 10 days until traveling to Leakesville to face upstart Greene County three days after Christmas.
And speaking of Greene County, the Wildcats opened Region 8-4A play with a win over visiting Moss Point Monday night.
The Wildcats knocked off the Tigers 66-46 in the league-opener for both teams. Tylan Blackston scored a game-high 18 points to pace the Wildcats while Jase Mathews was right behind him with 16 points. Both Yabarrai Bolton and Cordarius Molten each chipped in 10 points apiece to the winning cause.
The win was Greene County’s fifth straight on the season.
Moss Point got 16 points from Quey’Sean Taylor in the loss that ended a three-game win streak. The Tigers fell to 8-7 overall.
The trip to Leakesville Monday to tip off Region 8-4A play began a busy stretch of action this week for the Tigers as they’ll play three games in five days before taking a break for Christmas. After facing the Wildcats, Moss Point will host D’Iberville on Thursday and then travel to Bay Springs on Friday.
Greene County made it a clean sweep on the evening as the Lady Wildcats took a 31-13 win. The Lady Tigers are now also 7-8 overall and 0-1 in league play just like their male counterparts.
Moss Point was coming off a 30-24 win over visiting West Harrison on Friday night. Jordyn Bishop scored a game-high 15 points in that win for the Lady Tigers, while Taylor Rae Norwood led the Lady Hurricanes with eight points in the loss.

In other action in the “Southern Six” Monday night, home-standing Long Beach swept a pair of games from Pearl River Central.
The Long Beach girls started the night off with a 40-34 win over PRC. The Bearcats then completed the sweep with a 62-55 win over the Blue Devils.
The game was the final action for all four teams before taking a break for Christmas as well.
