Catholic had won ten straight games and Ashton Walker did his part to make it 11 on Saturday. The Catholic Crusaders took down the Benedictine Cadets 91-75 thanks to Walker, who went 20-for-25 to rack up 51 points and seven boards. He has been hot for a while, having posted 17 or more points the last 15 times he's played.

Martez Harris was another key player, dropping a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds. He continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.

Catholic's victory was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 20-8. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 74.6 points over those games. As for Benedictine, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-18.

Catholic does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Benedictine, they will welcome St. Michael the Archangel at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. St. Michael the Archangel knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past three games -- so hopefully Benedictine likes a good challenge.
