Central Wildcats Rise to 2-0 in District 4-5A

It was obvious in the Jamboree that this year’s Central Wildcats had talent. They defeated a highly-touted St. Amant team 12-0. Then the Wildcats gave nationally-ranked Dunham a run for their money but narrowly lost 36-34. Up next was Dutchtown, another good team and another narrow loss, 16-13. Then Jesuit came to town and beat the Wildcats 35-19.
At 0-3, it would have been easy for Central to give up and just go through the motions for the rest of the season. However, in the 4th game, Central faced an outstanding Scotlandville team and won a surprising 12-6 victory! There followed last week’s 38-0 homecoming win over Belaire.
Suddenly, Central was 2-0 and tied for the lead with Walker in District 4-5A. Now the tough part begins with Live Oak, Brusly, Zachary, Denham, and Walker up next.
