West Harrison's bid for a historic playoff berth ended on Friday night in Gulfport, Mississippi. The Biloxi Indians defeated the Hurricanes 38-22, snapping the program's first-ever postseason hopes.
The game started closely. Both teams were tied at 7 points late in the second quarter. Biloxi quarterback Marquez Metcalfe broke the deadlock with a long run to the end zone. The extra point gave the Indians a 14-7 lead.
West Harrison pushed back with a drive led by Austin McInnis. However, the offense stalled and had to punt. Biloxi took over at their own 13-yard line and moved quickly.
Jalen Ramsey completed a pass to Davie Griffin on an out route. Griffin gained extra yards before going out of bounds. A late-hit penalty on West Harrison added 15 yards to the play. Ramsey then bought time in the pocket and threw a touchdown pass to Griffin in the back of the end zone. The score extended the Biloxi lead to 21-7 at halftime.
The Indians controlled the second half to secure the win. The loss closed the door on West Harrison's attempt to reach the playoffs for the first time in school history.
