But it still felt like a party on the court after Cathedral finished off rival Crispus Attucks, 71-63, on Monday night at Tech. The past two years, it was the Tigers that got the better of Cathedral for top billing in the City.

Senior sports photographer David Dixon captured the action between Cathedral and Crispus Attucks high school basketball.

Cathedral finally got the Tigers off their back. For the third straight year, the Cathedral Fighting Irish faced the Crispus Attucks Tigers in the Indianapolis City Championship Monday night at Arsenal Tech High School.

Crispus Attucks defeated Cathedral the past two years for the City title. Two years ago, the young, underdog Tigers stunned the Irish 61-51 for the championship. Dezmon Briscoe, a 6-9 Iowa recruit, won the head-to-head matchup against then-senior Xavier Booker of Cathedral, scoring 16 of his 21 points in the first half to set the tone.
