BASTROP, La. — Five players for the Trinity Episcopal Day School boys basketball team scored in double digits as the Saints cruised to a 77-58 win at Prairie View Academy Monday night.

Tanner Cage led Trinity in scoring with 17 points to go along with 12 steals. Carter Smith, Tommy McCoy and Dre McCoy each tallied 14 points, while Garrett Vinson finished with 10 points.

Saints head coach Edwin White said he was very pleased with his team’s offensive performance and teamwork.

“We played a good offensive game and played very well as a team,” White said. “We passed the ball well among teammates and had a balanced attack on offense, I think the team concept is finally sinking in.”

The Saints led 43-31 at the half. Prairie View’s Brandon Jacons led everyone in scoring with 24 points. Brendon Tubbs had 17 points for Prairie View, and Tyler Jones finished with 15 points.

Dre McCoy had 12 rebounds, and White was very complimentary of him and Tommy McCoy.

“That duo, with their leadership and talent, has been magnificent,” White said.

Even with the win, White said there are still some things for his boys to work on, but he was happy with their progress up to this point.

“We’re still doing things not quite right as far as the defense goes, but that’s a work in progress,” White said. “We’re just trying to grow and get better. I think the leadership of seniors has been the X factor as far as team goes, I think once we really get the defensive concept down, it’s going to be hard for anyone to beat us.”

Trinity rose to 6-1 on the season.
