Bulldogs shoot past Knights

PERKINSTON — Mississippi Gulf Coast blew out Louisiana Knights on Monday at Dantzler Arena, winning 119-75.

The Bulldogs (5-1) were led by Duran Parish (So., Biloxi/Biloxi), who had 22.

Zakariyya Dwight (Fr., Cordele, Ga./Crisp County) had 16 points, and Matthew Hinton (So., Atlanta, Ga./Dutchtown) scored 13.  Maddox Noblitt (Fr., Ocean Springs/Ocean Springs) added 12 points, as did Kelinee Stone (Fr., Baton Rouge, La./Woodlawn).
