Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 49-17, which was the final score in Vancleave's tilt against Mobile Christian on November 14th. While losing is never fun, Vancleave can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps's basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 251st in Mississippi, while Mobile Christian is ranked 55th in Alabama).
Lamar Christian's victory bumped their season record to 0-0 while Christian Collegiate Academy's loss dropped theirs to 1-3.
Christian Collegiate Academy took their win against Vancleave in their previous matchup on November 13th by a conclusive 43-18.
