First Quarter
In varsity cager action, the Crusaders faced off against the Westside Wolves in an afternoon game. Throughout most of the game, the Crusaders looked out of rhythm as they tried to get back into sync after the holidays.
Third Quarter
Westside kept the game close and even tied it in the 3rd, but an adjustment on defense by Jesuit led to steals and opened the floor up for the Crusaders as they tightened up defensively and converted big transition baskets.
