Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Center). They simply couldn't be stopped on Saturday as they easily beat the Johnson Warriors 81-45. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Center got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Tima Makovey out in front who posted 22 points in addition to six rebounds and five blocks. Another player making a difference was Gabriel Nesmith, who dropped a double-double on 17 points and 15 rebounds.
