Given the Cardinals' advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 61st, while the Hornets are ranked 251st), the result on Wednesday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Southport had a senior duo take command as Cristian Webster went 6 of 8 on his way to 16 points in addition to five assists and three steals and James Kalala went 8 for 11 en route to 19 points and eight boards. That's the most steals Webster has posted since back in January of 2024. Rj Tennin also deserves some recognition as he scored his first points of the season.
Southport was working as a unit and finished the game with 12 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
Southport's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-5. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.3 points per game. As for Beech Grove, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-11.
