Central and Dothan are an even 3-3 against one another since December of 2018, but not for long. The Central Red Devils will take on the Dothan Wolves on Friday. Central knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 31 games -- so hopefully Dothan likes a good challenge.
Central is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Alabama's top teams: Auburn, who was ranked 25th at the time (Central was ranked fourth). Central walked away with a 63-50 win over Auburn on Saturday. The victory continues a trend for the Red Devils in their matchups with the Tigers: they've now won four in a row.
Meanwhile, Dothan came tearing into last Friday's matchup with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 15 points) and they left with even more momentum. They strolled past the Eagles with points to spare, taking the game 71-57.
Dothan pushed their record up to 25-2 with the win, which was their 13th straight at home dating back to last season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.6 points over those games. As for Central, their victory bumped their record up to 27-4.
Central didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Dothan in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, but they still walked away with a 66-62 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Central since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
