Southwest Georgia STEM Charter lost against Central in their previous head to head last Thursday, too, but the margin this time around was much wider than the 19-18 score last time.
Central can attribute much of their success to Rubin Henderson, who threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes. Central also got help from Demarcus White who showed off his sure hands for 140 receiving yards.
Another reason for the win was Central's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Leading the way was Jaden Peterson and his two sacks.
