The Hollow Rock-Bruceton Central High School Tigers capped off the regular season Friday night with a 21-7 regional win over McEwen, finishing fourth in their region and earning a spot in the state playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers, who are entering the playoffs with even records of 4-4 overall and 3-3 in regional competition, will be on the road in the first round Friday night, facing off with Fayetteville High School, the number one seed in that region with an 8-0 overall record and an undefeated 5-0 region tally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game time is set for 7 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past Friday night, following a scoreless first quarter for both teams, Central\u2019s Malik Mathes broke the ice on the first play of the second quarter with a 25-yard touchdown carry. The extra point kick put the Tigers ahead 7-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in the second, after a muffed punt, Central\u2019s Thomas Crews scored from 23 yards out. The PAT failed, but Central was pulling away 13-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McEwen, however, managed to make a mark before the halftime break with a big 60-yard scoring run by Tommy Wills, followed by a successful kick, but that still left the Tigers with a 13-7 halftime advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
