Central 54 Fern Creek 37

This one started out 13-0 after the 1st quarter. Fern Creek came out so tight and then lost some confidence after the goose egg in the first quarter. Score at half was 28-9. End of third quarter was 37-22. Fern Creek made an attempt to get under 10, but never did and the benches for both teams cleared with about 2 minutes to go. Never in doubt who controlled the game from the tip to the final.

I have seen Central now several times and they will not wow you or overly leave you the impression they are a dominating team. However, you must give Coach Bibby credit because they are always ready to play and they fear nobody. The best way to describe them is they play hard, they play smart, and they are fearless. Coach Bibby has them on a string. Whatever he calls, they simply react and execute. Of course they have been scored upon, but they usually defend in almost a pack like line of defense with an extended defense on the key shooters. The key is to have enough outside shooters to make them pay with their sagging and if you do get penetration be able to hit pull up jumpers. Also credit the kids, they play hard and are a team.
