The Grizzlies did finish the regular season strong with a 55-7 win over the Clovis East Timberwolves. Trent Tompkins and Jevon Bigelow both had huge games Tompkins had a big game throwing the ball on 3 TD for 245 passing yards 14-19. Bigelow had a big running game on 8 carries for 170 yards and 3TD.

The Grizzlies offense just had their way against the Timberwolves defense. The Grizzlies defense had a great game too allowing only 7 points on 56 plays. Jacob Hollins, Tre Walker, and Jaden Williams all had big games Walker with 12 tackles, Williams with 10 tackles and Hollins with 8 tackles. The Grizzlies just had their way with this Timberwolves team.

After closing the regular season out 9-1 the Grizzlies are now going after a valley championship and road will start Friday Night against the Bullard Knights. The Knights are a much-improved team from the first meeting but that won’t help much this Central has improved on both sides of the ball and has too many weapons offensively.

The X-factor Bullard is gonna have to find a way to stop the High Power Central Offense. This game could get out of hand quick but it is playoff football anything can happen. Will Bullard pull the upset or will Central march another step closer to their first Valley title. Find out Friday @7 PM @Koligian Stadium!
