Center's Ty Hubbard dominated on the field, on the hardwood and on the track. He was successful in any athletic event that he participated in, whether indoor or outdoor this past year. For his ability to compete at a high level and the success he enjoyed in the 2010-11 school year,  Hubbard received several Center High School Perpetual Athletic awards, being named Most Valuable Player in three sports, the school announced recently.

The competition at the Class 3A Region III Track & Field Meet in Humble was stiff, but the Center athletes gave it their best shot during last week's event at Turner Stadium.

The Lady Riders scored two points at the meet, which was won by Waco Connally with 70 points. Silsbee placed second with 62 points and Mexia was third overall with 56.

The Center Roughriders only posted one first-place finish, but they had three second-place postings along with three third-place finishes to claim second place overall honors at the Kirbyville Relays last Thursday.

CHS ran at the Diboll Meet this week and will now set its sights on the District 18-3A Track & Field Meet, scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday in Diboll. Field events and running preliminaries will take place on Tuesday, with the running finals taking place on Wednesday evening.

The Center Roughrider varsity and junior varsity track teams had stellar performances last Thursday as the varsity took top honors and the JV placed third at the Newton Eagle Relays.

The CHS varsity squad scored 111 points to claim first place by 24 points, with Jasper running second with 87 points. Newton placed third with 86.5 points, Hemphill was fourth with 62.5 and Kirbyville was a close fifth with 62 points.
