The Trinity Saints improved to 16-4 on the season as they ventured to Vicksburg to battle the class 1A Flashes of St. Aloysius. The Flashes jumped on the Saints early enough to grab a 19-13 lead after one quarter of play. However, the second quarter belonged to Trinity as they imposed their will on the home standing Flashes and outscored them 26-12 to take a 39-31 lead into halftime. St. Aloysius was able to keep pace with Trinity in the third period and only trailed by seven points heading into the final quarter but the Saints outscore the Flashes by six points in the quarter to take a 70-57 win.
