The Center 8th grade Roughriders got caught up in a high-scoring contest with Rusk last Thursday night at Eagle Stadium, but came away with a 36-22 victory.

Rusk returned the opening kickoff for a score to put the 'Riders in an early hole, but Center came back and drove down the field and pulled within 8-6 when Chavis Gregory hit paydirt.

CENTER -- Center's Chavis Gregory punished the Diboll 8th grade defense Thursday night by plowing his way for 121 yards on just five carries as the Roughriders handed Diboll an early 6-0 lead and then took charge and rolled to a 24-6 win here at Roughrider Stadium.

CENTER -- The Center Roughrider 7th grade used the 'short field' to its advantage Thursday night as Johnny Shaw sparked CMS to a 14-0 victory over Diboll here on a sloppy Roughrider Stadium field Thursday night.

Rain all week caused conditions to worsen quickly as coaches agreed to run the clock more freely to keep from damaging the field more than necessary.

The Center 8th grade 'A' football team saw Carthage take a 16-6 halftime lead last Thurday night and then neither team could score in the second half as CMS fell on the road to the Bulldogs.

 The Roughriders had a pair of starters out with injuries, but still gave the Bulldogs a battle. After Carthage scored first, Center's Chavis Gregory scored on a touchdown run of eight yards as Center rebounded.

A stingy defense, combined with an offense led by Chavis (Mike) Gregory was too much for the larger Nacogdoches Mike Moses Dragons Thursday night as the Roughrider 8th grade 'A' team built a 12-0 lead and then rode its defense for a 12-6 victory at Roughrider Stadium.
