Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Center). They took their matchup on Friday with ease, bagging an 87-38 victory over the Rusk Eagles. Given the Roughriders' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 292nd, while the Eagles are ranked 772nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Tim Johnson was his usual excellent self, dropping a double-double on 25 points and 12 rebounds. What's more, he also racked up two blocks, the most he's had since back in December of 2023. Jamarious (Snooty) Canton was another key player, dropping a double-double on 14 points and ten boards.
Center smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 25 offensive boards. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their offensive board total in three consecutive contests.
Center's win bumped their record up to 15-8. As for Rusk, they dropped their record down to 12-14 with the defeat, which was their 22nd straight on the road dating back to last season.
