This time, Centennial earned a 72-57 victory at the State Preview Classic at Colony High on Saturday evening.
The Huskies took a 28-14, second quarter lead and improved t0 20-1 on the season.
Centennial junior Jared McCain led all scorers.

Crean Lutheran’s Vyctorius Miller scored a team-high 20 points.
