Wildcats Defeat Yellow Jackets 35-14

By  | 

    Central High Football improved to 5-3 on the season Friday night in an important district win over rival Denham Springs.  Central's hopes of a playoff berth improved with the win, leaving the final games against Zachary and Live Oak to secure a spot in post-season play.
    Central took a 21-14 lead in the fourth quarter and proceeded to return two late-game interceptions for touchdowns and the 21 point margin.  Central hosts Zachary this Friday on Senior Night, the last 2016 regular-season game in Wildcat Stadium.
    The 1966 State Championship Football team will also be honored on this 50th anniversary of the last state title for Wildcat Football.  Make your plans to come out and support the team, or watch the game live-streamed at 7 PM on the "Central First" Facebook Page.  The broadcast can also be heard on 91.9 FM Radio Amor.
