The Warriors struggled offensively as the team tried to establish the run game, but could not fall into a rhythm.
The lead stretched to 14-0 midway through the second quarter on a 23-yard touchdown pass from Pat McQuaide to Ramone Bradley, a score that held until halftime.
The Bulldogs went on to score 21 points in the second half for a 35-0 final.
The Warriors finished the day with 120 total yards of offense to Gulf Coast's 415. Courtland Harris (Hattiesburg) led the ECCC offense with 46 yards on 14 carries, while Scooby Leverett (Jackson, Ala.) was the Warriors leading receiver with 16 yards.
Defensively, the Warriors were led by Peyton Posey (Union) who wrapped up 11 tackles and recorded one sack. Michael Coats Jr. (Biloxi) also hauled in two interceptions on the day.
