Dragons Face Eagles First Week of Playoffs

The seniors on this year’s Central High School football team go into playoffs with almost a full season’s worth of games in the “second season” under their belts. The Scarlet Dragons have played nine postseason games over the previous three years, winning back-to-back District 6 championships in 2020 and 2021.

“We have been there before and we have an idea of what we want to accomplish,” Dragons coach Dave Baker said. “We want to win a third and we see that as a possibility. Other teams, I’m not sure how they see it. Some of their players might just be happy to be there.”
