PERKINSTON — Mississippi Gulf Coast will celebrate a superb women’s basketball class at Sophomore Night when the first-place Bulldogs host Northwest Mississippi.
Tipoff at Dantzler Arena is set for 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available at http://mgcccbulldogs.com/tickets, and the game will be streamed at https://mgcccbulldogs.com/watch.
The sophomore class consists of Tytiana Buckley (So., Meridian/Meridian), Je’Mya Evans (So., Gulfport/Harrison Central), Simaru Fields (So., Pass Christian/Gulfport) and Ja’Sharreah Hunt (So., Roxie/Franklin County). They have already won 35 games over their two seasons, with two more left in the regular season.
