NATCHEZ — The Cathedral Green Wave played better on Tuesday night against the Enterprise Lincoln Yellow Jackets than it did in a season-opening loss to Monterey just 24 hours earlier.

Cathedral held Enterprise to just four points in gaining the lead after one quarter of play, but the Green Wave couldn’t keep the momentum going and the Yellow Jackets ended up with a 66-57 overtime win.

“We were worn down. We just couldn’t keep up with the pace in overtime,” Green Wave head coach Peter Arnold said. “By far, it was so much better than last night. A huge improvement. We battled as hard as we could. But in the end, it wasn’t enough.”

The Green Wave took a 10-4 lead at the end of the first quarter, but Enterprise started its comeback by outscoring Cathedral 17-14 in the second quarter to trail by just three points, 24-21, at halftime. The Yellow Jackets then outscored the Green Wave 18-15 in the third quarter to tie the game at 39-39.

Enterprise led Cathedral 53-52 before D.J. Batteste made a free throw with 19 seconds left to make it a tie ball game once again and send the game into overtime. That’s when the Yellow Jackets took over as they outscored the Green Wave 13-4.

“We missed so many lay-ups and close range shots. Our only senior, Sam Fury, turned his ankle in the third quarter and he couldn’t come back. Rodney Hall fouled out near the end of regulation,” Arnold said.

Ethan Newman led Enterprise with a game-high 26 points and Jarrod Johnson chipped in with 15 points. Cathedral was led by Jarrell Johnson with 22 points and Alex Weadock added 14 points.

The Green Wave (0-2) hosts Loyd Star Friday night.
