SUMMARY: Pass Christian's girls' basketball team claimed a 46-33 win against Gulfport, thanks to a robust defense that kept Gulfport in single digits for the first three quarters. Senior Kamiyah Pruitt was a standout for Pass Christian, scoring 20 points. Cassidy Woods also contributed with a three-pointer early in the game.

Both coaches reflected on the importance of learning and growth for their young teams. Pass Christian progresses to 4-8 and will next face Cleveland Central, while Gulfport drops to 1-7 before taking on Harrison Central.
