Wildcats Fall to Zachary in Kinsley Tourney Semifinals

CENTRAL— The Central High School basketball team fell to Zachary in the Charles Kinsley Basketball Tournament last Saturday.  Zachary took 3rd Place as a result of the win.

Central Wildcat Justin Jemison was named to the All-Tournament team.  Scotlandville won the Kinsley Championship, while Glen Oaks was runnerup.

Central showed a lot of promise in the Zachary game, but suffered a large number of turnovers, especially from stolen balls.

Tonight, Central hosts St. Amant at 7:30 p.m. in the kickoff of the District 4-5A/District 5-5A District Challenge.

The District Challenge pits three teams from 4-5A against three teams from 5-5A.  It’s a moving tournament, that will be played in three different towns.

The three teams from District 4-5A are Central, Denham Springs, and Walker, while the three teams from District 5-5A are East Ascension, Dutchtown, and St. Amant.

The first set of games will be held tonight at the Wildcat gym.  On Friday, the games will be played at Dutchtown, and on Saturday at St. Amant.
