Central put another one in the bag on Saturday to keep their perfect season alive. They came within five points of losing the streak, but they secured a 66-61 W against the Canyon Comanches. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Bobcats' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked fifth in Arizona, while the Comanches are ranked 73rd in California).

Canyon lost despite a true team effort on offense. The best among them was Dean Dohrmann, who shot 75% from the field on his way to 19 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Pierce Haugen, who posted 11 points.

Central's victory bumped their record up to 14-0. As for Canyon, with the loss, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 8-4.

Looking ahead, Central will be taking part in a tournament against Los Alamitos at 8:00 p.m. on Monday. The Bobcats will need to watch out since the Griffins have now posted at least 55 points in their last five contests. Canyon and Rancho Cucamonga will round out the year against one another at 8:00 p.m. on Monday. The Comanches will be up against the Cougars' rather soft defense (which has allowed 66.31 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
