FAYETTEVILLE — In Cascade’s hot start to the season, the Champions have gotten consistency in scoring from multiple players, but have also relied on a lockdown defensive effort.
That trend continued on Friday night as Cascade extended its win-streak to eight games with a 61-29 blowout win over Fayetteville City.
For the second time this week, Cascade’s defense held its opposition under 40 points.
The Tigers remained competitive through the first quarter, yet Cascade was able to maintain a six-point lead through the first eight minutes.
Five different Champions scored in the opening frame, with seniors Lucas Clanton and Jackson Davis totaling five apiece.
Fayetteville hung around on the scoreboard, but it was a lop-sided second quarter that helped Cascade begin to pull away.
The Tigers managed just two made field goals, a basket by Teondre Love and a three-pointer by Wyatt Groce, while Cascade charged ahead with 11 points, including five from Isaac McElroy.
In the second half, Cascade was able to work the full complement of its reserves onto the floor and continued to extend its lead.
In the final two quarters, Cascade outscored its host, 33-13.
In total, nine different players scored for Cascade, with Davis’ 18 leading the way.
Cascade connected on 15-of-25 free throw tries and cashed in on four treys.
Fayetteville managed just 4-of-8 tries at the line and was led by Kentius Henderson’s nine points.
Cascade will be back on the road on Tuesday night at Huntland before returning home on Friday for the final home game before the Christmas break.
