PINEY WOODS — Led by Elizabeth Smith and McKenzie Milligan, the Cathedral Lady Green Wave got back on the winning track with a 68-19 win over the Piney Woods Lady Tornadoes in MHSAA Division 7-1A action Friday night.

This game was never really in doubt. With the exception of the second quarter, in which Piney Woods outscored Cathedral 9-8, the Lady Green Wave dominated the Lady Tornadoes on both ends of the court.

Cathedral jumped out to a 16-3 lead at the end of the first quarter and went into halftime ahead 24-12. The Lady Green Wave put the icing on the cake of this decisive win by outscoring Piney Woods 24-0 in the fourth quarter. Smith finished with 18 points, and Milligan scored 15 points.

When halftime arrived, it could not have come any sooner for Prentiss Christian, which found itself on the wrong side of a 40-8 deficit.
