In 1-1A, Biggersville’s boys won an epic overtime battle against Wheeler on Tuesday thanks to Hunter Stacy (5:45), who had a late steal and basket to seal it. He finished with 35 points. Back on Friday, Ingomar’s boys won a defensive struggle against 1-2A foe Baldwyn in a top-5 showdown (1:29). And Jaxon Orr carried Itawamba AHS past Shannon in a 2-4A matchup (3:34).
