MBB: Jasper dampens Center playoff hopes
Thursday, February 09, 2012

The Center Roughriders have been on the outside looking in when it comes to the Class 3A state basketball playoffs this season. But with two games remaining, and coming off a 57-42 setback to playoff-bound Jasper on Tuesday, there is still a chance for a postseason berth for CHS.

But to make the playoffs, Center (10-19) has to defeat Kirbyville on the road on Friday and then knock off Hudson at home on Tuesday, while hoping that the Hornets fall to Huntington on Friday.

Thursday, January 26, 2012

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.

The Center Roughriders picked a bad time to turn the ball over as they went on the road to Hudson Friday night and gave the ball up 36 times in a 66-47 setback to the Hornets in Hornet Gymnasium.

The setback hurt the Roughriders' playoff chances as they dipped to 8-17 on the year and 3-3 in District 18-3A victory. But Center did bounce back Tuesday night at home to knock off Central, 61-51, to move within a game of third place. Center still controls its own playoff destiny.
