BILOXI — The Biloxi boys are on their second five-game win streak of the season after they defeated Hancock 74-31 on Tuesday, taking control early and leading from the first point and never trailing.

The win improves Biloxi’s record to 11-2, and Hancock’s record moves to 6-8.

Reggie Magee opened the game’s scoring with a 3-pointer, following a Hancock turnover on a charge. Jude Ulrich sank two free throws to put the Hawks on the scoreboard for their first points to pull within one of the Indians at 3-2, and that was as close as the game would get.

The Indians led 13-6 after one quarter of play, and they would outscore the visitors 26-13 in the second quarter to increase their lead to 39-19 at halftime.

“We’re trying to find our stride,” said Biloxi coach Seber Windham. “I think we’re getting there, step by step. We’ve got a lot of depth this year that we didn’t have last year. That’s going to pay off in the district and the playoffs. Hopefully we can keep it going.”

The Indians got contributions from different players at different times during the game. Josh Canaan had a huge second quarter, scoring ten points in the second quarter, sinking a 3-pointer, three field goals and a free throw.

Jaden Eckford also had a big second quarter, scoring six points in the period, with two field goals coming off steals.

Magee and Alejandro Montalvo had huge third-quarter performances for the Indians, as Magee added points in the period and Montalvo scored 9 during the stretch.

Magee led the Indians with 13 points, Alan Ayala scored 11 points, followed by Canaan with 10 points, Montalvo with 9 points and Eckford with 8 points.

Gabe Fricke led Hancock with 6 points.

Biloxi’s next game is against Long Beach in Biloxi on Saturday. Hancock hosts St. Stanislaus on Friday.
