One night after being called out by coach Dellie C. Robinson for a subpar game against Meridian, Mychal Ammons bounced back with 28 points to lead the Gators (9-3) past Clarksdale.

Clarksdale (6-7) pulled to within 35-32 after a 3-pointer by Joshua Windham a minute into the third quarter, but the Gators countered with an 11-0 run fueled by two baskets each from Ammons and Josh Gaskin to go in front, 46-32. The Gators owned a 55-40 lead after three quarters.

Two massive dunks by Gaskin closed out the Wildcats in the final quarter.

Gaskin finished with 12 points. Dominique Brown had nine as did Rashad Gaines.

Windham led Clarksdale with 17 points.
