While losing is never fun, the Hawks can&#8217;t take it too hard given the team&#8217;s big disadvantage  in MaxPreps&#8217; Mississippi basketball rankings (they are ranked 157th, while the Panthers are ranked 30th).<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Long Beach&#8217;s loss dropped their record down to 9-14. As for Hancock, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-17.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\"> Long Beach couldn&#8217;t quite finish off Hancock when the teams last played  on January 9th and fell  53-50. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of  the Hawks&#8217; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ms\/kiln\/hancock-hawks\/athletes\/jaxson-knight\/?careerid=u8qde9dc07bi2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Jaxson Knight<\/a>, who  dropped  a double-double with 21 points and 11  rebounds.
