Long Beach Hosts Resurrection Catholic in Tuesday Night Matchup
The Long Beach (MS) varsity soccer team has a home non-conference match vs. Resurrection Catholic (Pascagoula, MS) on Tuesday, January 6 @ 7:30p.
After a brief pause in the schedule, the Long Beach Bearcats are back on the field and ready to defend their home turf as they host the Resurrection Catholic Eagles on Tuesday night. The match is set for a 7:30 p.m. start and comes at a strong moment for Long Beach, which enters the contest riding a three-game winning streak.
The Bearcats have found their rhythm in recent weeks, leaning heavily on a disciplined defense and timely scoring. That formula was on full display two weeks ago when Long Beach earned a 2-0 shutout victory over Picayune. The defense controlled the pace from start to finish, limiting opportunities and protecting the goal with confidence.
Offensively, Daxus Arkin and Braiden Bonds delivered the difference in that win, accounting for both goals. The duo has been a consistent force all season, combining for 18 goals and providing leadership in key moments. Their production has played a major role in Long Beach’s ability to close out tight matches.
Resurrection Catholic enters the matchup looking to regain momentum after a narrow loss to Forrest County Agricultural. The Eagles were tied 1-1 at halftime in that contest before falling 3-2 by the final whistle. Recent results have been challenging for Resurrection Catholic, which has dropped four of its last five matches and currently holds a 5-4-1 record.
Long Beach, now sitting at 7-6 on the season, will aim to continue its upward trend and capitalize on home-field advantage. With confidence building and playoff positioning always in focus, Tuesday night’s match offers another opportunity for the Bearcats to make a statement.
Fans unable to attend in person can still follow the action live. The match will be streamed on the NFHS Network, the official streaming partner of the Mississippi High School Activities Association and Long Beach High School.
