NATCHEZ — Ford Biedenham led five St. Aloysius players in double figures with 12 points as the Flashes rolled to a 69-44 win over the Cathedral Green Wave Thursday night.

In addition to the balanced scoring, St. Aloyius’s defense held a young Cathedral team to just five points in each of the first two quarters. By halftime, the Flashes had a 29-10 lead over their long-time rivals.

Sean Johnson had 11 points while Alex Lanier, Luke Durnett and Chris Lewis each scored 10 points to lead the Flashes, who picked up their first win of the season after an 0-3 start.

“We’re so young and we’re struggling to put the ball in the hole offensively,” Cathedral head coach Peter Arnold said. “We get behind early and we don’t have the firepower to come back. We’re playing as hard as we can.”

Zach West finished with eight points and Garrett Smith had seven points for Cathedral, which dropped to 0-4 on the season.
