Centertown girls roll to road victory
Centertown’s seventh- and eighth-grade girls traveled across the county Thursday night, and came back home with a big 41-19 victory over the Lady Tigers of Irving College.
Centertown got off to a strong start offensively, using a tough defense to score several transition baskets. The Lady Warriors posted 12 points in each of the first two periods.
