Bay Springs defeated Ingomar High School on March 8 at the Mississippi Coliseum 56 to 51. The team won their first state title in 2015.

“It feels great to win this one with the adverse situations, but it’s a great win for us and the community,” said head basketball coach Corey Mackey in a previous interview with WDAM-TV. “This year’s team played together. They are more friends and brothers than teammates, you know. They play video games together. We took trips this summer, overnight trips. So, they are really homeboys.”

The city encourages the community to come out and support not only the school, but also the winning bulldog team.
