In what turned out to be a very competitive game, Central got by #4 East 53-49 thanks to a solid defensive effort. Central improved to 8-6 overall with Nathanial Talich leading the way with 16 points with James Brown chipping in 15. East was paced by Drew Jackson with 15 and Colter McAnelly had 11.
