The Center Lady Riders scored a first-half goal in the 25th minute when Erika Figueroa was able to get a rebound of a deflected shot past Tenaha goalie Camryn Sisk and that was all the offense that CHS would need in a 1-0 scrimmage win Friday night at Roughrider Stadium.

Raquel Hernandez played in goal for Center and didn't finish any shots on goal as the Lady Rider defense didn't allow deep penetration near the Center end of the field all night long.

The Center Roughriders advanced to the Class 4A boys soccer playoffs for the second consecutive year in 2011, marking the first time for the program to accomplish that fete in the team's history. Led by the scoring of junior Eduardo Chavez, CHS posted a season record of 5-11-1 on the year (3-6-1 in district). Chavez was honored recently when he was named the District 35-4A Offensive Most Valuable Player in the league, as voted on by the coaches.

CENTER -- The Center Lady Riders found out Friday night that it doesn't matter how well a team plays in the first half if it doesn't continue its momentum in the final period.

After playing what could have been one of their best half of the season here at Roughrider Stadium against Marshall, the Lady Riders saw their 1-1 tie with the Lady Mavs disappear in the final 35 minutes as they dropped a 5-1 decision.

CENTER -- The Center Lady Rider offensive scoring duo of sisters Maria and Rebeca Medrano was all the offense the team needed Tuesday night as CHS recorded its first victory of the 2011 season in a 4-0 blanking of Tatum here at a cold and damp Roughrider Stadium.
