If Central was riding high fresh off their 50-20 takedown of Odessa on Tuesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Indians were just a bucket shy of victory on Friday and fell 55-54 to the Savannah Savages. The Indians were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Savages apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in January.
Central has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season. As for Savannah, their victory ended a seven-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-3.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Central will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on St. Pius X at 7:00 p.m. on January 2, 2026. Savannah and Pleasant Hill will round out the year against one another at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Savages will be up against the Roosters/Chicks' rather soft defense (which has allowed 56.5 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
