Based on returning experience and early-season outcomes, it seemed possible that Central could end a five-year losing streak to West.
Through three quarters, the Bobcats were not only in line to do that, but were fully in control. Surely, it couldn’t be that easy, right?

The Rebels fought back, but Central hung on 29-21 at home on Friday, closing the game out by holding onto the ball for the final 9 minutes, 35 seconds.
