Strake Jesuit and Katy Taylor matched up Tuesday night in a 5A bi-district boys basketball game at Stratford.

The favored Crusaders held up their status, cruising to a 70-46 win.

The Mustangs tried to keep up with the Crusaders but were no match. Strake Jesuit led 40-22 at halftime.
 
“This was one of the best games we ever played. We came out with lots of energy and really worked together as a team,” Strake Jesuit's Joey Brooks said.

Katy Taylor kicked it up and came with more force in the second half. Unfortunately for Taylor, Strake Jesuit seemed to become more confident in the third period, played harder and came with solid plays.

Strake Jesuit advances to play Chavez in an area-round game at 8 p.m. Friday at Strake Jesuit.

“Chavez is a totally different team and we have to change our style totally from the game against Katy Taylor,” Crusaders coach Wayne Jones said.
