While some were at home watching TV, a war was brewing at St. Paul’s Central High School. Como Park boys’ Basketball team played the minutemen Wednesday night for the first round of class 3A sections. They got off to a great start with good ball rotation, movement, and not allowing the Minutemen to get comfortable.

The Cougars held the lead for most of the first half putting Taylor Smaller, one of Central’s key players in foul trouble early. The beginning of the second half was much like the first. Every time Central would try to go on a run Como would cut them short from their success.

With about 5-6 minutes left Central tried to go on a run again, and this time was successful. They got a couple back-to-back points and several and-one plays. The Como boys were unable to come back and took an 85-73 loss.

Central’s boys will advance to the second round. Taylor led all scores with 23 points, while Joseph Lyons led Como with 16 points. Como Park Boy’s basketball team ends their season with a 14-11 overall record.
