CENTER, Tx -- If the Center Roughriders are going to claim a playoff spot in District 18-3A, the time to make a run is now. 'Riders head coach Hiram Harrison has been telling his troops all year that the key to getting in the playoffs was to win all of your home games, and except for a loss to Jasper on Jan. 13, they've done exactly that. CHS is 4-1 to date in league games in Roughrider Gymnasium.

CENTER,Tx -- It isn't often that a Class 1A program take on a 3A opponent in any sport, so when it happens, it draws a lot of interest. Add the fact that the two schools sit ten miles apart in the same county and they both have large basketball fan bases and then a packed house is expected.
