The Rapid City Central boys basketball team has struggled to get its season in gear like most area squads, but it didn t show early Saturday night against the Douglas Patriots.
The Cobblers jumped out to a 20-4 lead through the first quarter of play and went on to take it to the Patriots 61-43 at Patriots Gym in Box Elder.
Although Douglas had the momentum going in after a 40-point win over Sturgis Friday night, it was Central that had the early edge with an aggressive start on both ends of the court.
Central led by as much as 24 points before the Patriots hit some shots in the final minute to close the gap.
