Central waltzed into their game on Wednesday with seven straight wins... but they left with eight. They breezed by the Washington Rams to the tune of 81-36. Given the Bobcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Arizona basketball rankings (they are ranked 42nd, while the Rams are ranked 223rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Central has also been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 18-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 74.9 points per game. As for Washington, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-6 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Central will venture away from home to challenge Pinnacle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Central's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last 13 games. Washington has already played their next matchup (against Copper Canyon), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
