Area Prep Basketball Report for Tuesday, Nov. 21

The 2022-23 season did not end the way Country Day wanted or is accustomed to seeing. The Cajuns were upset in the quarterfinals by Catholic of New Iberia.

That came after the Cajuns reached the semifinals in 2021 and 2022.

It was a very close game for three quarters.

Country Day led 15-14 after one quarter and it was tied 27-27 at halftime. The Cajuns carried a slim 42-40 lead into the final quarter.
