So, I’ve been meaning to share this for a while, and since we’re talking about local sports, it feels like the right time. It’s about the Centerville basketball games – yeah, the ones everyone’s been buzzing about lately. I’m no sports analyst, but I do love a good game, and I’ve been keeping a bit of a log.
It all started when I decided to just, you know, casually follow the scores. Nothing fancy, just wanted to know what was going on with the team. The Centerville High School Bulldogs, to be exact. First thing I did? I started jotting down the scores after each game. It was pretty simple. You know, like “Bulldogs defeat the Seton Catholic High School Cardinals 63 to 60”. That was one of the first entries. Sounds exciting, right?
Then things got a little more interesting. I stumbled upon this game where St. Ignatius beat Centerville, 66-56. It was a big deal because St. Ignatius hadn’t won a state championship in boys basketball since like, 2001. This was when I started feeling more invested. I mean, these weren’t just numbers; there were stories behind them.
I kept going. There was this one game where the Bulldogs lost to the Grace Community Cougars, 91-67. That one stung a bit because it ended their three-game winning streak. I remember writing down “Centerville’s loss…” and feeling a bit down. But hey, that’s sports, right? Ups and downs.
- Wins:
- Centerville vs. Daleville: 81-43
- Centerville vs. Middletown: 68-60
- Losses:
- Centerville vs. Seton: 60-63
- Centerville vs. St. Ignatius: 56-66
- Centerville vs. Grace Community: 67-91
But it wasn’t all doom and gloom. The Bulldogs had some awesome games too. Like when they just crushed it against Daleville, 81-43. Those were the days when my notes were all cheerful and stuff.
One of the most nail-biting games was when Centerville played against Middletown. It was a close one, 68-60. I actually watched part of this game, and let me tell you, it was tense! They were ahead 21-14 at first, but it got super close towards the end.
Oh, and there was this one time, Mahaffey tied the score with two free throws, and then Njie tried a 3-pointer that just bounced off the rim. It was a real heart-stopper. They even went into overtime! I didn’t catch the full details of who they were playing against, but that moment was just, wow.
I even heard about this game where Centerville was trailing by 10 in the first half. I don’t know how it ended, but it sounded like a real rollercoaster.
And get this – I read somewhere about Pickerington Central winning some big semifinal game. I didn’t follow that one closely, but it made me realize how big these high school games are. They’re not just local news; they’re part of something bigger.
So, that’s my little adventure in tracking the Centerville basketball scores. It’s not much, but it’s been a fun ride. I get to see the highs and lows, the close calls, and the big wins. And it’s all right here, in my notes. It’s like, I’m not just watching the games; I’m kind of living them in a weird, score-keeping way. I don’t have any deep analysis or anything. I just write down the numbers, and sometimes, a little story pops up. And I guess that’s what makes it special for me.
Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for now. Maybe I’ll keep this up, maybe I won’t. But for now, it’s been a cool way to connect with something local and, you know, be a part of the community in my own little way.
