Games To Watch: George County hosts Richton with unbeaten girls start at stake

George County’s girls look to extend a 2-0 start Wednesday, November 11, when Richton visits Lucedale for a varsity basketball doubleheader. The boys game brings a different comparison: Richton is coming off a Tuesday victory, while George County seeks a response to its latest posted loss. The girls are scheduled for 6 p.m. Central, followed by the boys at 7:30 p.m.; both games are non-district.

Girls: George County looks to extend a winning start

The current girls matchup lists George County at 2-0 and Richton at 0-2. George County has two verified road wins behind it: 61-37 at Stone on November 3 and 52-26 at East Central on November 6. Both wins came away from Lucedale; Wednesday’s 6 p.m. game offers a home opportunity to extend that run.

Richton’s posted girls results include a 52-25 loss at Heidelberg on November 3 and a 48-14 loss at Hattiesburg on November 7. Its Tuesday game against Clarkdale has no posted final in the checked listing, leaving that result outside the listed 0-2 record.

Boys: Richton builds from Tuesday, George County responds

The boys matchup lists George County at 2-1 and Richton at 1-2. Richton returns to action a day after beating Clarkdale 45-40 at home. That November 10 victory followed a 66-33 loss at Jefferson Davis County on November 7. The quick turnaround gives Richton a chance to build on its first posted win by adding a road result in Lucedale.

George County’s latest posted boys game went the other way: a 75-53 loss at East Central on November 6. Before that, George County won 66-48 at Stone on November 3. The hosts therefore enter with more listed wins, but Richton brings the more recent winning result. Wednesday offers George County a chance to answer its latest loss while Richton tries to follow Tuesday’s win.
