They were dealt  a  73-46 loss at the hands of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ms\/picayune\/picayune-maroon-tide\/basketball\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Picayune Maroon Tide<\/a>. The Bearcats lost against the Maroon Tide in their previous head to head  back in January, too, but the margin this time around was even wider than the  50-46 score last time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\"> Several Bearcats players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ms\/long-beach\/long-beach-bearcats\/athletes\/neveah-smith\/?careerid=qsij9ulvjqm66\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Neveah Smith<\/a>, who  posted 14  points and three  steals. Another player making a difference was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ms\/long-beach\/long-beach-bearcats\/athletes\/donovan-magee\/?careerid=ham2r30j01g99\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Donovan Magee<\/a>, who  put up ten points and five  steals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\">As for Picayune, the  victory was  the third in a row for them, bringing their record up to 5-3. Those  wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as  they  averaged 73.0 points over those games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Picayune&#8217;s success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ms\/picayune\/picayune-maroon-tide\/athletes\/jeremiah-mark\/?careerid=u3hoobt0u5to8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Jeremiah Mark<\/a> led the charge by  dropping  a double-double with 15  points and 12  boards. Mark is also on a roll when it comes to  shooting accuracy, as he&#8217;s  posted one of at least 50% in the last five games he&#8217;s  played. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ms\/picayune\/picayune-maroon-tide\/athletes\/kelton-stewart\/?careerid=agegaj4ijou99\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Kelton Stewart<\/a> was another key player,  shooting 46% from the field to rack up 15 points and six  assists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Coming up, Long Beach will venture away from home to  square off against Moss Point  at 6:30  p.m.  on Friday. Picayune has  already played their next  game (against Petal), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>Article generated by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/infosentience.com\/\">infoSentience<\/a> based on data entered on MaxPreps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long Beach extended their losing streak to four on Tuesday, dropping them down to 7-7.
