Cathedral entered their tilt with Male on Saturday with eight consecutive wins , and they'll enter their next game with nine. They enjoyed a cozy 70-51 victory over the Male Bulldogs. Given the Fighting Irish's advantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked second in Indiana, while the Bulldogs are ranked 27th in Kentucky), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Cathedral was led to victory by Keaton Aldridge and Aidan Hughes. Aldridge went 8-for-11 to rack up 22 points along with eight rebounds and six assists, while Hughes went 7-for-9 on his way to 16 points and five boards. Thanks to that strong game, Aldridge now owns an excellent 41.7% three-point shooting accuracy. The team also got some help courtesy of Julien Smith, who posted ten points.
Cathedral smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with ten offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in nine consecutive matchups.
Cathedral's win was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 18-4. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 84.9 points over those games. As for Male, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 17-10.
Looking ahead, Cathedral will be playing in front of their home fans against Zionsville at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Cathedral knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 11 games -- so hopefully Zionsville likes a good challenge. Male does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
