The Center Roughriders Varsity football team saw their record fall to 1-3 after their third straight loss on Friday. The ‘Riders only trailed 7-0 after the end of the first quarter but saw things get away as they trailed 35-7 at halftime, 56-7 at the end of three periods, and they eventually saw Henderson’s lead balloon to 63-7 by the end of the contest. This was Center’s third straight pre-district loss.

Both teams had turnovers in the opening frame which kept the game close in the early going. Henderson lead 14-0 early in the second but Center came back to answer and they pulled to within a touchdown of the Lions. Henderson would shutout Center for the rest of the contest and score the final 49 points scored.

The Roughriders will regroup as they will host Grace Community at Roughriders Stadium next Friday, September 27, 2019. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

Kickoff at Roughrider’s Stadium is on Friday, September 13, 2019, and will be at 7:30 p.m. The Bears lost at Atlanta High School by a 35-28 score. This evened the GHS record to 1-1.

September 9, 2019 - The Center Varsity tennis team continues to roll with two more wins this weekend.

The Roughriders met Hallsville in Jacksonville this past Saturday morning and then lined up against Jacksonville for the afternoon.

The results are as follows:

Center would lead 5 wins -2 losses after doubles vs Hallsville which gave us a nice lead going into singles. Center takes 6 of the first 8 singles matches to lead 11-4 and take home the victory before pulling the remaining singles matches.

After a much needed lunch break out of the heat, Jacksonville HS was next. The Riders continued the trend from the morning and led 5-2 after doubles.

Singles would prove to be a heated contest and Jacksonville put up a great effort to try to pull back within striking distance by splitting the first 8 singles matches 4-4 which gave the Riders a team total of 9-6, but the Center team had too much depth and pulled 3 of the remaining 4 singles to make the official victory 12-7.

This gives our Center team a 6-0 record with four of those wins vs class 5A.

Upcoming:

Center JV vs Spring Hill at home Tuesday 9/10
Center V vs Spring Hill at Spring Hill Thursday 9/12
Both matches are set to begin approximately 4pm.

Go Roughriders!!!
