Biloxi defeated West Harrison 38-22 on Friday night in Gulfport, Mississippi, ending the Hurricanes' season and their bid for a first-ever playoff appearance.
The game remained tight through the first half. Both teams were tied at 7 points late in the second quarter before Biloxi gained a lead.
Marquez Metcalfe broke the deadlock with an untouched run into the end zone. The subsequent extra point extended the Indians' advantage to 14-7.
West Harrison attempted a response, securing a first down on a run by Austin McInnis. The drive stalled, resulting in a punt that handed possession to Biloxi at its own 13-yard line.
Biloxi capitalized on the turnover. Quarterback Jalen Ramsey connected with Davie Griffin on an out route. Griffin gained yardage before stepping out of bounds, and a late-hit penalty against West Harrison added 15 yards to the play.
Ramsey followed up by throwing a touchdown pass to Griffin in the back of the end zone. The score gave Biloxi a 21-7 lead at halftime. The Indians maintained control in the second half to secure the final margin of 38-22.
