The Bearcats took  a  50-41 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Hurricanes. While losing is never fun, the Bearcats can&#8217;t take it too hard given the team&#8217;s big disadvantage  in MaxPreps&#8217; Mississippi basketball rankings (they are ranked 145th, while the Hurricanes are ranked seventh).<\/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\/keveun-smyers\/?careerid=os56bkpbdru22\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Keveun Smyers<\/a>, who  shot 45% from the field on his way to 17 points.

Thanks to that strong game,  Robinson now owns an excellent 45.1%  field goal percentage. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ms\/gulfport\/west-harrison-hurricanes\/athletes\/deandre-weston\/?careerid=5m3q06g9dqfg0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> De&#8217;Andre Weston<\/a> was another key player,  putting up 11  points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\">Long Beach now  has a losing record of 8-9. As for West Harrison, they pushed their record up to 14-1 with the  win, which was their eighth straight  at home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Coming up, Long Beach will venture away from home to  take on Gulfport  at 7:30  p.m.  on Tuesday. As for West Harrison, they will host Hancock  at 7:30  p.m.  on Friday.<\/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 lost to West Harrison back in January and unfortunately they wound up with the same result&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115479,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-115478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115478\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
