WOODVILLE — The Cathedral High School Green Wave swept through the competition last Saturday at the For His Glory Christmas Boys Tournament at Wilkinson County Christian Academy.

Cathedral’s second game was in the mid-afternoon and, after keeping Baton Rouge Home School at arms’ length in the first half, the Green Wave used a big third quarter to pull away for a 61-28 win over the Eagles.

The first two quarters were close, but Cathedral managed to outscore Baton Rouge 14-10 in the first quarter and 15-10 in the second quarter to go into halftime with a 29-20 lead. The third quarter was the turning point as the Green Wave outscored the Eagles 25-3 for a commanding 54-23 advantage.

Kaden Batieste led the Green Wave with a game-high 15 points while JT Taylor had 14 points and Chase Kaiser contributed with nine points.

The first game of the day had an 11 a.m. tip-off, but it didn’t matter to Cathedral as it dominated Acadiana Christian School for much of the first quarter as the Green Wave defeated the Defenders 68-31.

Cathedral led Acadiana Christian 20-12 after one quarter of play before the Green Wave dominated the Defenders on both ends of the court in the second quarter en route to a decisive 22-2 advantage and a 42-14 halftime lead.

The Green Wave made sure that the Defenders would not get back in the game after the break. With Batieste leading a balanced scoring attack, Cathedral outscored Acadiana Christian 16-8 in the third quarter for a 58-22 lead.

Batieste led Cathedral (7-7) with 19 points. Kaiser, Clayton Devening, and Jordan Henry each scored seven points.

The Green Wave will be back in action on Dec. 27 and 28 at the Silliman Institute Tournament in Clinton, La.
