BROOKHAVEN — After seeing a six-point lead after one quarter of play turn into a six-point deficit 16 minutes later, the Cathedral Green Wave had to do something to give itself an opportunity to defeat Pisgah.

And it was a change in the defense that allowed Cathedral to outscore Pisgah 14-5 in the fourth quarter and that enabled the Green Wave to defeat the Dragons 37-34 Friday night at the Enterprise Tournament.

Cathedral led Pisgah 11-5 at the end of the first quarter before the Dragons cut the Green Wave’s lead to one point, 20-19, at halftime. Led by Beau Nelson and Antone Smith, Pisgah then grabbed the lead in the third quarter and outscored Cathedral 10-3 for a 29-23 lead. Nelson led the Dragons with a game-high 15 points while Smith finished with seven points.

“It was a very ugly game. Just very physical. Good defense, no offense,” Green Wave head coach Peter Arnold said. “We went into a full-court, man-to-man defense (in the fourth quarter) and that led to some transition buckets. We got some steals and that was the difference in the ball game.”

Jardarius Anderson and James Coley led the Green Wave in scoring with nine points each. Alex Weadock and Terrance Jackson chipped in with five points apiece.

“It was just a slugfest. But ugly or not, somebody’s going to win and somebody’s going to lose. And I’d rather get that win,” Arnold said.

Cathedral (5-7) will take Enterprise game today at 8:30 p.m. in the boys’ championship game.
