For a month, the Vicksburg Missy Gators enjoyed a long winning streak. Now, they’ll find out how to deal with a losing streak.

Geonna Marshall finished with 15 points and six rebounds, Aalyiah Westbrook had 13 points and seven rebounds, and Forest Hill took advantage of a cold-shooting Vicksburg team to beat the Missy Gators 52-50 on Tuesday night.

It was Vicksburg’s second straight loss after it had won eight in a row to start the season. Vicksburg will have a week to figure things out before hosting Laurel on Dec. 18.

Dajia Reed and Jayla Sims scored 10 points apiece for the Missy Gators (8-2), but they struggled offensively for most of the game. They were just 18-for-55 (33 percent) from the field and 8-for-17 at the free throw line. Eight of their field goals — including two 3-pointers by Reed — came in the fourth quarter when they were wiping out most of an 11-point deficit.

Reed hit two 3-pointers and Ke’Mari Smith one for the Missy Gators. Reed scored eight of her 10 points in the fourth quarter, while Smith finished with a team-high 15 points on 5-of-13 shooting.

Vicksburg hit six 3-pointers in the game, but was 12-for-42 (29 percent) from inside the arc.
Forest Hill, meanwhile, shot 47 percent (16-for-34) overall from the field and was 13-for-21 at the free throw line. The Lady Patriots made 9 of 12 free throws in the fourth quarter, with Marshall going 5-for-6.
