OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WXXV) — Ocean Springs started strong and held on for a win in its home-opener, beating Petal 27-17 at Greyhound Stadium to start the year 2-0.

Solomon Baggett scored the first two touchdowns of the night for the Greyhounds, who quickly took at 13-0 lead. The Panthers responded with a long touchdown pass to cut the lead to just six points.

The Hounds struggled to respond on the next drive but forced a fumble deep in their own territory to get the ball back. OS proceeded to fumble near the goal line, but lineman Raymond Johnson fell on the ball as it rolled in the end zone and recorded the big man touchdown!
