MOSS POINT — At this point, the Moss Point boys basketball team can only hope that the next few weeks of the season go a lot better than the first couple of months have. The Tigers stand just 3-19 overall and 0-4 in Region 8-4A play as they get set to begin round two of league play this week. Moss Point is coming off league losses on the road to both Greene County and Forrest County AHS in the past week or so, and sits at the bottom of the region race with two weeks left in region play.
