WEDNESDAY’S BOYS’ GAMES | Highlanders looking for a win vs. East heading into sectional week

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022

By GREG MENGELT Floyd Central lost twice last week. It wasn’t a huge deal. They were two non-conference games late in the season.

Creek will look a little different this season. Trey Kaufman-Renn is now redshirting at Purdue and Kooper Jacobi is averaging 3.8 points and 4.3 rebounds as […]
