There were no victories in the Cougars’ stockings this past week. Facing formidable opponents, they went down hard, losing to Canton-Galva 72-22 and Wakefield 70-31. Playing under pressure, their shots didn’t fall readily, and they turned the ball over numerous times.

Against Wakefield Friday at home, Dylan Deines scored Centre’s only points in the first quarter. They trailed, 25-2. They added 12 points in the second quarter but trailed 45-14 at halftime. Jared Barney and Deines combined for three treys, and C.J. Thompson made a bucket.

Dakota Stimpson scored 8 points and Nathaniel Engler scored 6 in the second half. Cole Srajer also make a basket as the clock ran nonstop.
