BREESE — The Breese-Mater Dei Knights proved to be a formidable foe, defeating the Woodlawn Cardinals, 66-34, in Friday boys basketball action.
The Cardinals (2-3) fell behind 13-8 after one period of play, then 31-17 by halftime.
“We were disappointing at both ends of the floor,” said Cardinal coach Shane Witzel. "Hopefully we will learn from that. The kids gave a good effort, but we lost our edge.”
By the end of the third quarter, Mater Dei led 44-29.
“They are a good basketball team,” said Witzel. “There is no doubt about that.”
Kirk Dunbar led the Cardinals with nine points. Casey Hammond finished with eight, while Bryan Johnson added seven.
