Central High

Central track coach Billy Blakeney lost several members from last year’s track team, but said he still has some returning boys and girls lettermen that put a smile on his face.

The Keenan Raiders boys’ basketball team showed why they are the number one ranked Class 2A team in the state with a convincing 103-36 dismantling of the Central Eagles last Wednesday, Feb. 15. The game was never in doubt as the host Raiders led 80-21 after three quarters of play.

Again, we go back more than 25 years to profile our “Where Are They Now?” athlete of the week. Meshell Allen was one of the best female athletes to play for the Central High Lady Eagles. She played basketball three years and earned all-region both her junior and senior years. She also played volleyball as a senior and was selected all-region in that sport as well. A 1985 graduate she was named most athletic female her senior year.

Central’s junior varsity basketball team finished their season last week with a road win at Indian Land and a home loss to Cheraw to end the season with a record of 8-7.
