The Central High School A-Team

Central Finds Going Rough in Trip to West Tennessee
Team hopes to turn things around at Vanderbilt

The Central High School Academic Team returned to action Saturday after a three week
lay-off.  The Lions traveled to west Tennessee to compete in the Lexington High School
Invitational where they faced several teams from the Memphis area.  Central’s first team
of Lindsay Crowell, Christie Stanford, Madison Turner, and Jeremy Wear could never get
the offense started as they fell to Chester County (145-105), defeated Marshall County,
Mississippi (150-60) but lost to Craigmont (225-130) and Bartlett (170-120).

Central’s second team of Jennifer Kragenbrink, Salvador Lopez, Emily Senefeld, and Sam
Wantland fared little better losing to Bartlett (130-85) and Chester County (115-105),
winning over Marshall County (240-90), and then losing to Craigmont (140-95).

The day’s final match saw the two Central teams square off with the second team winning
in a minor upset by a score of 155-110.  Top scorers for Central were junior Jeremy Wear
and sophomore Sam Wantland.  Jeremy became only the ninth Central player to pass the
2000-point mark in career scoring.

Central’s overall season record now stands at 12-9 with the next competition scheduled
for October 30th and 31st at Vanderbilt University.
