The Cass boys basketball team picked up its first win of the 2022-23 season Saturday afternoon with a 49-46 home victory over Arabia Mountain.
The Colonels built a 10-point halftime advantage by outscoring the Rams 13-3 in the second quarter to lead 25-15 at the intermission.
Arabia Mountain (2-3) narrowed the lead in the third quarter and went ahead in the fourth quarter before the Colonels recovered for their first win.
“Any win is a good win,” said Cass coach Kevin Cunningham. “We played well, but we panicked a little bit when they made their run. The guys did a great job of dialing it back to do the little things to come back and win. I’m proud of these guys and happy to get our first win.”
Three Cass players reached double figures in scoring.
Jayden Foster led the Colonels with 16 points followed by Devin Henderson with 15. Jakai Baldwin finished with 10 points. Sacovie White contributed five points. Kevin Henderson and Isaiah Ford rounded out the scoring with two and one point, respectively.
Brendan Rose led Arabia Mountain with 17 points. Traeveon Williams scored 11 for the Rams.
Cass (1-4) hosts Southeast Whitfield Tuesday with the girls' tip scheduled for 6 p.m.
