PASCAGOULA — The Pascagoula boys basketball team came into the current season on a 28 game region win streak that dates back to February of 2023.
Make that 30.
The Panthers opened Region 4-6A action last week with a pair of wins at home, hammering Long Beach 63-27 Tuesday and following that up with a 61-42 win over Pearl River Central Friday night.

In the latest win, PHS got 16 points apiece from its senior standout guard duo of Blake Nettles and Marcus Cooper in the win, while Ireyion Harvey added nine points to the winning approach and Tamir Boykin had eight points.
PRC got 15 points from Titus Feaster and 13 points from his older brother J.J. Feaster along with 11 points from Ben Duhon. The Blue Devils are now 0-2 in region play.

Nettles tallied a game-high 23 points to pace PHS in that one, while Cooper chipped in 16 points for the Panthers.
Leroy Cameron led Long Beach with 11 points.
