Ladd’s 25 leads Ben Davis to 72-59 win, snaps Cathedral streak
Ladd scored 25 on 9-for-12 shooting to lift Ben Davis to a 72-59 win and end Cathedral’s 10-game streak.
MaxPreps reported Ben Davis knocked off Cathedral 72-59 in a non-conference matchup on Friday as Jashawn Ladd poured in 25 points on 9-for-12 shooting, also handing out five assists and collecting three steals to snap Cathedral’s ten-game winning streak.
Ladd’s efficiency was the headline. MaxPreps’ small field-goal table shows Ladd at 75% on Feb. 20 (9-for-12) and 75% on Feb. 14, with a 55% line on Feb. 13, meaning “he's posted one of at least 55% in the last three games he's played.” That stretch of high-percentage shooting gave Ben Davis reliable scoring; over the two wins that make up their current streak the Giants averaged 73.5 points.
Ben Davis rode that offense to back-to-back victories and a 13-6 mark on the season. MaxPreps called the result a “signature result” and noted “the victory made it two in a row for Ben Davis and bumps their season record up to 13-6,” a run fueled in part by Ladd’s scoring and playmaking on Friday night.
Cathedral fell to 17-4 with the setback but did not stay down long. MaxPreps reported Cathedral “didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next contest, a 75-51 victory against Male on the 21st,” erasing some of the sting from the loss and showing the Fighting Irish could regroup immediately after the streak ended.
Social-media posts reflected the victory but included a discrepant final score. Instagram matched the 72-59 result, posting “Ben Davis with a 72-59 win, sending Cathedral home with tonight's loss.” A Facebook post referenced a 72-56 score, which conflicts with MaxPreps’ box-score details; given MaxPreps supplied the player line of 9-for-12 for Ladd and the accompanying stats, the 72-59 figure is the authoritative final score for this recap.
Looking ahead, MaxPreps listed Ben Davis’s next opponent as Indianapolis Arsenal Technical, with the Giants scheduled to host at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. With Ladd shooting at least 55% over his last three games and Ben Davis averaging 73.5 points across the two-game winning stretch, the Giants head into the Arsenal Tech meeting riding momentum and a clear go-to scorer.
